A New Blog Form. A New Art Form?

snow_globeI am experimenting with using a blog format to tell a long Christmas short story.  It includes photos, drawings, animated gifs, photoons, music, secret rollovers — and even words that often string together to make sentences.

It had seemed to me, in my quest to repurpose… Read full post »

Tantamount To Treason

Tantamount To Treason

 When their leaders say our President must fail,

When their leaders say it is their major goal,

When their leaders say "shut down the USA"

I say… what their leaders say

is tantamount to treason.

 

Treason. I… Read full post »

War With The GOP?

I say yes!

GOP leaders have announced their intention of shutting down the American government, something no terrorist or no foreign enemy has ever accomplished.  If we do not stop them, the GOP will achieve their goal.

Unless they get their way on gutting Healthcare and extending the tax… Read full post »

Afghanistan is a Tar Baby. We’re stuck in it like ol’ Brer Rabbit.  And we can’t seem to get out.  Of course, Afghanistan has always been a Tar Baby.  For the Russian Empire.  And before that for the English Empire. Anybody that tries to whack the Afghanis…

How To Learn The New Learning

(Before you banish your computer to the garage next to the kayak)

Many of us born in the Century of Taught Learning can not cope with the new computer learning because it isn’t taught.  It is only learned.  There is no learning “curve”.  It’s more like a jagg… Read full post »

Us Vs. Them — We Must End It.

I'm sick of the cultural reality that is "us vs them". It permiates the news and my bedroom. The us-vs-themers must be stopped if we are to save society.  But can they be stopped?

Our culture has been this way as long as any of us alter kockers can remember. Us-vs-them… Read full post »

Lyric For A Granddaughter

I know you know what you just did

your smile gives you away

You can pretend that you don’t know

But grandpa knows that play

 

Laugh Jazzy, laugh

Wiggle Jazzy, wiggle

Twist and turn and give me five.

And giggle, giggle, giggle.… Read full post »

America Is Losing The Important War

Our enemy is not the 40 freedom fighters Al Queda's has in Afghanistan. It's 40 enemies who have infiltrated America's government and are bent on destroying it.
Pogo 
They want to paralyze America's government using guerrilla tactics. They want to "Freeze America Totally" and they are succee… Read full post »

My Body Hates Me

I’ve spent most of my life considering my body my enemy. We’ve never agreed on anything.  If I wanted to have a few drinks, my body didn’t. Usually, I won the evening battle. My body won the morning battle.

I wanted to play in the NBA, and I worked hard… Read full post »

It seems most all of us share the desire to be paid for our writing.  Those of us who sometimes get paid for some of the things we write don't get paid enough. Others don't get paid at all.  

Maybe we can do something about it.  I suggest we form… Read full post »

After a long period of utter bafflement, I have finally figured out why the Right and the Left can’t agree on anything. And probably never will.
 
Liberals think. Righteous Righties don't. What NeoCons, Teabaggers, and FoxNoisers do may appear to be rationale thinking, but it is really thu… Read full post »

He says call it BiPolar.  I think Manic and Depressive describes him better.

What he’s done lately is miss all our doctor appointments, so we can’t even get meds for our chemical imbalances, or the rash that is probably caused by our Type2 Diabetes.  And he won’t even sti… Read full post »

Wake up, America. Try to understand the rest of the world, for a change.
 
The Nobel Committee is getting trashed, because many Americans don't understand the rest of the world and how they felt about what was the most dangerous nation on earth.  And how one man changed all that… Read full post »
