      Getting old gets old. We are told by old people when we’re young that after a certain point we would achieve that elusive quality known as “wisdom.” Let me tell you about wisdom. Wisdom is crap you used to try to pass off as smart that people put up with later out if kindness. It’s still stupid but you deliver it in a stumbling, bumbling voice that makes it hard to understand so inquiring minds lend an ear in case they missed something during all the times you said exactly the same thing.   I do that. When you tell the same joke again and again at twenty it doesn’t have the same implications that it has when you are seventy plus. At twenty people will tell you to your face, “You’ve already told me that,” but at seventy-three they whisper the word Alzheimer’s and everyone in the intervention nods knowingly! There is also dementia. While Alzheimer’s is category one Bat-shititus dementia is just a nuisance that friends and family will put up with so long as they d...

  You know it’s funny. Funny at how we think everything is going to change with one tick of the clock on a certain day because some Pope said so according to a calendar that he invented back in 1582. And the uninformed believe that we, as a planet end up in the same cosmic location where we found ourselves the previous year when that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Millions of miles from the truth, actually.   While a good many people picture our solar system as being eight or nine planets orbiting the sun on a relatively flat plane that is fairly stationary in its location they completely fail to take in the fact that the sun itself is orbiting the black hole at the center of our galaxy which is proceeding helter-skelter at a dizzying speed from the starting point of the universe which may or may not be orbiting other universes which, which, which . . .   So, as you can very easily surmise it is impossible for us to be in exactly the same spot as we were at this tine...

  Stupid is as stupid does. I can’t put the blame for this mental condition on any one group or generation other than stating that I do not believe it to be a product of those of my era, ie, Baby Boomers. We were more down to earth, that earth being places like Saigon, Kent State, and Haight Ashbury. No, this mental condition, which I call Bat Shititus is a type of mental illness brought on by the lack of education combined with the reconditioning from social media and what used to be news services and a cleansing of history.   And the attention span among the Z Generation is about as the capacity of a fruit fly. Combine that with the Millennials, the not so anonymous alcoholics, thank you Doctor Fauci and whatever is in the oven hoping to survive abortion and you don’t have to look far to hear the daily cry of the masses, yearning to be free, “It’s the end of the country!”   You see, if CNN, FOX, and let us not forget “Influencers,” those failed writers, jugglers and for...

  Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. We’ve all heard of that fifteen minutes of fame. That light of notoriety that shines on someone for a moment and then dims and goes away. If the fabled fifteen minutes becomes more, it is usually because the recipient really does have something to offer. Their ship will sail while others sink. Why did “Macarena” not launch the career of Los Del Rio like “She Loves You” did for The Beatles?     Because Los Del Rio didn’t have a “Hawk Tuah!  And in the world of Woke a good stroke  is rare. So let’s examine this phenomenon and spit on that thang.     Crazy ideas occasionally fly. Catch phrases resonate through the years. Are the lambs still screaming? I suspect Hailey Welch can make you scream.  She had rhythm and humor and was every man’s idea of the girl next door. You remember her. The one someone else married and you still recall fondly in your declining years of ED? Yeah! THAT one. Hailey condensed fift...
