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 »

Too Much Of A Guy — Not Enough Of A Man

One of the few good things about being bipolar is you get to see yourself from the extremes.  Today I’m on a downer, so my analysis of why I’m such a loser, excuse me, I meant LOSER! is I’m too much of a guy, and not enough of a man.… 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 »

A Modest Proposal To Make OS Writers Rich And Famous

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 »

Why Righteous Righties And Liberal Lefties Will Never Agree

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 »

The Manic Depressive Moron In The Mirror is Ruining My Life.

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 »

Teabaggers Split GOP Into Two Armed Camps

Conservative to the point of stupidity.

Conservative to the point of insanity.

What's happening within the GOP isn't about Obama. It's about them and their core beliefs.

Up until recently, everybody in the GOP tacitly agreed to say NO TO EVERYTHING so Obama would get nothing done, and… Read full post »

The Most Dangerous Nation Has Made The World A Safer Place

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 »
