First Ralph Lauren was doing it. Then Ann Taylor. I blogged about both for photo-shopping their models into Skeletors. Later both companies apologized. Coincidence? You be the judge. Now Nordstrom is doing the same scary-thin thing. Check out these models. And at the risk of sounding like my mother, can’t these young ladies stand up [...]
Two weeks ago was the one-year anniversary of launching my blog site. I had wanted to post a HUMDINGER of a BLOG. I pondered the perfect topic for weeks, considering such topics as: 1. The value of health and why most people don’t get it. 2. Baby Boomer expectations growing up VS the reality [...]
[NOTE: This blog is dedicated to Twonky Zotz, mi chimpee amore.] It’s back to school week, boys and girls! Today’s lesson is one I think y’all will enjoy. The topic involves Evolutionary Social Anthropology. Or maybe just common sense. So pay attention. And you in the back row—WAKE UP. *-* A couple days ago I [...]
Remembering 2,973 people who lost their lives on 9/11/01. Never to forget…
Anyone or anything that wrecks America makes me ill. And the Anti-Pastor—Terry “Old Man Serpent” Jones—is at the top of my list.

Last month First Lady Michelle Obama went on holiday to a fancy-schmancy resort on the southern coast of Spain. And boy did she catch heck for it. I say GOOD FOR HER. In the press Mrs. Obama was vilified. How dare she take a luxury vacation at tax payers’ expense when the country is in [...]
In the late nineties I started reading the Quigmans comics by Buddy Hickerson everyday in the San Jose Mercury News. I loved the wacky humor. I used to cut out some and save them in a big envelope—for what future purpose I didn’t know. (Maybe I envisioned a blog a decade later?) Years later the [...]
Regarding the Adult Services section, I could never understand why CraigsList could not connect the dots. Allowing adults to advertise their services on its site COULD involve children. CraigsList has the law on its side. The Communications Decency Act and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act protect it from the actions of a third party. Fair [...]
After 18 months of worldwide touring, Green Day brought it home for their last performance of the 21st Century Breakdown Tour. Saturday night in front of the hometown crowd at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, CA, Green Day gave it their all—I think for us as well as for themselves, too. Last year [...]
