Robert E. Lee
The other day, Trump praised Robert E. Lee, and the media went nuts. So … Was Robert E. Lee a great general? Yes. Are the billionaires in Palo Alto stupid, poorly educated schmucks who lucked out in making their money? Yes. Is there a great danger in allowing the poorly educated schmucks in Palo Alto…

The Locusts
The ignoramus in chief spoke today about the caravan from Honduras that was coming our way. He made them sound like locusts that were inexorably eating their way to the North. That’s a hoot. He threatened the government of Honduras that there would be hell to pay if they didn’t stop the caravan. Who is he…

Why Trump Punches Low
Why is Donald Trump behaving the way he does? Every day brings a new low for the President as he insults people’s physical features, as he breaks all social taboos. The media regularly deplores his actions. Trump’s fans cheer, but it’s doubtful that his cheering fans would behave in the same manner. They know the…

Going for the Gusto
No healthcare system can hold up against greed. No innovation can stand up against greed. No reform can stand up against greed. Greed kills all. Greed is the mother of death. Corporate greed is the biggest mother of all. Sensible reforms to healthcare corporations involve the following acknowledgements, epiphanies and measures: CEO pay must be fixed.…

The Best and Brightest?
I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but the basis of your educational system, the almighty GPA, and the SAT, is damaged goods. These metrics don’t cull out the best and brightest, and they discriminate against you. These metrics are constructed by elites to select students who think like the elites. These metrics…

Princess Eugenie’s Big Day
Define obscenity. Princess Eugenie’s big day. That’s what the media called it: Her big day. What about the big day for the Yemenese who have nothing but cholera thanks to the greed of the US and GB who support the ruthless Saudi regime’s crackdown on their country? What about the big day for the Jamaicans who live…

Pain, Brexit, Reality
I hate pain because it tells me that something is wrong. I’d much rather live in pain than do something about it. Inertia is a powerful force. Pain ruins my day. Pain means I have to take time off and fix it. I don’t want to take time off. I want my life to be the same. I’ve…

Religion, War and Bullshit
Are religions bullshit? It depends upon what we use them for. The word religion has a cognate of sorts in the Spanish verb ligar which means to bind. Religion is a binding of values intended to provide structure to people young and old. A people that sticks together thrives together. Theoretically. But to what end? For what purpose is…

Israel, Palestine and Pseudo-Jews
Israel needs to dictate the solution to the Palestinian home land. For better or for worse, they need to articulate what they are willing to accept. Rapidly. If they are unwilling, too devious, or too stupid to do so, then the US must dictate a rational, real world solution. Trust me, it doesn’t require a genius.…

Culture and The Seduction of Foreign Travel
They say that foreign travel makes you more cultured. I don’t know about that. It certainly opens your eyes – if you want them opened. Much of your travel abroad depends upon what you choose to see. If you live in another country for an extended period of time you’ll see a much different world…
