ELECTION 2012: REPUBLICAN RUNNING MATE WANTED!
Regardless of who wins in the Republican primary, I wonder what kind of curve-ball reaction there would be if he would chose either Condoleezza Rice
or some one like Angela McGlowan as a running mate?
No…I’m not a devil’s advocate. I just found 201… Read full post »
T'is The Season....
Charles Caleb Colton (1782-1832) was an English cleric, author and art collector who was also well known for his eccentricities. The quote, “Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery,” has been attributed to this gentleman.

20/20 Hindsight: or American Racial Blindness
I was on a transatlantic flight not long ago, where I decided to watch a re-run of The Bill Cosby Show.
Although decades had passed, I clearly recalled the controversy it elicited throughout the nation…particularly among it’s black population. There had been outraged cries of&nb

The Occupy Wall Street Movement?
Being far, far away and all, surrounded by EU madness, I am completely baffled by what this Occupy Wall Street Movement in the States is really about.
I’ve been wondering, though, if perhaps the brochure below, from the Wall Street Language Institute, may be at the heart of the… Read full post »
White Trash Europe, or What Am I Doing In This Neighborhood?
First let me emphasize the fact that I neither designed this Tee Shirt nor coined this phase. Nevertheless, it brings up the topic of why there are such troubling conditions and conflicts in the European Union.

Cultural Vertigo
American Edition
Just finished reading the debut novel of Korean American author ,Y.
Euny Hong. It had me in stitches…as they say. I highly
recommend it...a cautionary tale...especially to recent University
graduates.
Then I ran across the German translation. As you can see,… Read full post »
RUNNING LATE
I realize that this is October 11th…an entire month after most have posted their remembrance of 9/11. Finally here is mine.
So sorry about running late!

Ugly Words and "Jacked-Up" Concepts
Sometimes I feel that someone has vandalized the culture of the English language, spray painted all over it. Just trampled rough shod all over the beauty, nuances and melodies of our words and expressions. Or ... perhaps I've just been romantically involved...cohabitating... with this seductive… Read full post »

What Is An Expat?
Who am I?
What am I? Expat? Refugee? Immigrant (certainly felt that way living on the weak and erratic dollar for the past 10 years)? Artist? Gringo? Defector? Adventurer? Long time resident of the French Riviera? An American who enjoys living France?
Manners and Deportment According to Whoopie
So, yesterday I finished reading Whoopie Goldberg’s book, Is It Just Me? Or Is It Nuts Out there?
