I haven’t endorsed yet (and probably won’t) but there are candidates I oppose and one is Uncle Joe.

Bag Me With A Spoon
Ok, so we now know what was going on at the Army/Navy Game, a stupid drinking prank the Corporatist Media is calling “The Circle Game” and Malcolm Nance (Jedi Master who’s been in the Navy and knows a thing or two) calls “Made You Look”. Back in the dorm it was “Bagged” and when your …

Plan C With Revisions
When TMC and I are on a fact finding assignment (say, discovering who has the best Digby Scallops in Nova Scotia or what exactly is happening in the 3rd floor Ladies of the Five Fishermen) things frequently do not go quite according to agenda and we find ourselves re-evaluating our priorities and re-scheduling our activities. …

The Loser’s Club
I am not unaware of Stephen King. Like my cousin, the New York Times bestselling author (twice, and I’m not at all jealous), I find his popularity disappointing because I don’t think the writing especially mesmerizing (my cousin is better technically). I suppose they both appeal to particular audiences, Stephen to horror fans and my …

Playa Girón
On April 17th 1961 Cuba was invaded by the CIA with 8 B-26 Attack Aircraft, 5 M41 Walker Bulldog!!! Tanks, 4 surplus LSTs, and 1400 deluded Cubans. Umm… It didn’t work out. Juan Guaidó promised to save Venezuela. Now the flame he lit is petering out, and his U.S. backers are weighing their options. By …

Wriggling on the Hook
Early Saturday and Sunday mornings are a terrible time to find anything acceptable on TV until A.M. Joy comes on (no Dateline for me) so I usually end up hazing my way through a bunch of fishing shows. While I am myself an awful angler I recognize the signs that it’s time to pull out …
