They're doing their own SNL parodies of themselves now

A group of USDA employees has filed suit against the Secretary of Agriculture for her continuing religious messages which they claim are proselytizing, and in violation of the First Amendment. The USDA spokesman said they don't comment on pending... See More »

How real, traditional, ethical journalism works

It may be rare given the demise of so much "mainstream" print media. But this is exactly how I was trained as a professional journalist, and why I still subscribe to print newspapers. And as a subscriber, this is supposed to be a link through the... See More »

Trump can't re-write history? What a shock. Jesse is RIP

(Quote) --USA Today, 2/17/26

Pitchers and catchers MAY report to Spring Training Tuesday!

Are there sweeter words in the English language? Please note the difference between baseball and other sports. In other sports, players must show up for training camp. In baseball, unless rehabbing from an injury, they must wait until they MAY... See More »

Marjorie Taylor Greene finally speaks for me

As one who still proudly says Barbara Lee Speaks For Me--and she did, both literally and figuratively, as my Representative--I never thought MTG could possibly join her. But her resignation statement puts her awfully close.

Did Trump lose his rake again?

Once again, wildfire devastating a National Forest and a National Monument in California. This time while California's National Guard wildfire fighters are sitting twiddling their tumbs in Los Angeles after being Federalized. When is Trump going to... See More »

Watch the whiplash on these sharp turns

A stated primary reason for high tariffs on China was national security -- rebuilding IT manufacturing in the U.S., and providing our own R&D efforts in new IT. Apparently no one anticipated what that would do to the smartphone and social media IV's... See More »

Why doesn't Trump send troops to S.C. to turn on the spigot?

It worked so well on the L.A. wildfires.

Can any Europeans stop laughing long enough to comment?

“Let's be honest. The European Union was formed in order to screw the United States," Trump said. "That's the purpose of it, and they've done a good job of it.” -- US President Donald Trump

To quote Pogo: "I have seen the enemy, and it is us"

Amidst all the rants from the Trump Administration about California's mismanagement of forest lands -- some truth in some criticisms, imho -- leading to the devastating L.A. and other wildfires, often overlooked is the fact that 46% of California's... See More »

A serious question about what Thomas Jefferson might think

There is a lot of discussion about what the U.S.'s "Founding Fathers" (no women need apply) would think about the "Trump Revolution 2", largely fueled by the mythological revisionist history of our founding from both ends of the ideological spectrum.... See More »

Great line in last night's Senate Debate in California

Steve Garvey, the former baseball player, kept bobbing, weaving, and ducking every question. Finally Congresswoman Porter said, "As they say here in Southern California, once a Dodger, always a dodger".

Marketing people may be the biggest criminals of all

Just received an official looking notice that states the home warranty insurance that the bank that holds the mortgage on my house "may have" is expiring and time is running out for me to renew the warranty. In the itsy bitsy legalese at the bottom... See More »

The attitude we could use in politics and not just baseball

From new L.A. Angels manager and self-professed baseball generational lifer: “In the game of baseball, what it is about is adjusting and readjusting,” he said. “As long as you make adjustments and you readjust to things after you’ve made that... See More »

"Modern Monogamy"

(Quote) USA Today My wife always maintained we were just roommates, because the witnesses (we had eloped to a JP in Reno) had left for lunch before the JP even showed up. Unfortunately, most people put more effort into keeping roommates than... See More »

Hot Diggity! I am a One Percenter

Oh crap. It's in age, not financially. [quote99 % of those born between 1930 and 1946 (worldwide) are now dead. If you were born in this time span, you are one of the rare surviving 1% ers of this special group. Their ages range is between 77 and... See More »

For once I could have had a cat video to go viral

For several weeks my cat has been eying the squirrels that attack the bird feeder, waiting for them to come down to ground level, and then charging at them full speed. Squirrel always makes it up the tree trunk just ahead of the cat. Today the cat... See More »

What is the over/under on when MLB will have more announcers in the booth than players on the field?

And will they ever have anything meaningful enough to say to obscure the action on the field?

Not sure whether it is nostalgia, age, or the prostrate meds

The latter of which have killed most of my testosterone to the point that few things get a rise out of me anymore. Or perhaps it is plethora of yoga pants and short-shorts that has inured me. Anyway, I was in the supermarket and this woman shopper... See More »

MLB's Draft was must watch TV

just to hear the ever-increasing booing of Commissioner Manfred as he came to the podium that eventually drowned out his announcements and he turned over the duties to one of his lieutenants, former Seattle player Raul Ibanez, who was cheered. Not... See More »

Smartmatics lawyer says the firm is in for the long haul against Fox

The reasons? 1. Smartmatics is used only in one county in the U.S. (Los Angeles), which was never in question; 2. Smartmatics has all the evidence that Dominion uncovered, plus more; 3. Unlike Dominion which is a small Canadian firm with only... See More »
