Thoughts and opinions with a Southern point of view
I was as dumbfounded as everybody to get the news about Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia dying in Texas. In fact, I was so befuddled, maybe perplexed, about what the news meant, that I chose to forgo the debate. I spent the evening watching the news on CNN. I used commercial breaks to Google items …
Good morning, y’all. It’s cold, in fact, it’s so cold, the politicians have their hands in their own pockets. The high today might get to 40 degrees, but I have my doubts. I checked the Coca Cola thermometer on the outside of the Rec room and it says 14 degrees. Promises of ice from the …
Good morning, y’all. Winter has arrived. We’ve got snow and the promise of temps staying low enough to give us some freezing rain on Monday, oh joy! We are fortunate that the power has stayed on, and that folks are able to travel to their daily destinations without impediment. Fingers are crossed that the conditions …
I kind of got focused on the Donald again while I was supposed to be doing something else. CNN has been playing bleeped versions of several speeches the Donald has been making. Speeches that contain language that is not suitable for all viewers. CNN even showed the reaction of a focus group that was tasked …
I find that the older I get, the less likely I am to venture into “new things”. I’ve also noticed that I become more frustrated and irritated when my ventures don’t turn out as planned. That’s one of the many reasons I wonder how in the world Bernie and his handlers think he’s going to …
As my dear old Granny used to say, “even a blind hog will root an acorn every now and then”. The “blind hog” theory can be applied to a lot of professions. I think one profession/industry that has done more disservice to the world by ignoring the tools at hand, is the automobile industry. Before …
Good morning, y’all. I feel like I just clean up from one Republican Debate Potluck dinner before I’m setting up for another one. I am at least encouraged that the turnout has diminished somewhat over the last couple of months. It could be the cold, it could be a premonition of buyer’s remorse. It is …
Good morning, y’all. Cold, cold here, but the skies are clear . The cold seems to have frozen the world famous Channel 11 Whiz O Meter at “10”, out of the possible “11”. The high is predicted to be 52, so I’m guessing the weather station is being run by polar bears. Compounding my confusion is …
There are many things in life that should bear close scrutiny. Religion is one of them. I took a look inside of the belly of the beast of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the other day. It was not a pretty sight. The pictures of men with their families, where you …
I happen to read Elizabeth Warren’s book, “A Fighting Chance”, this week. Let me tell you right off, the best candidate for president is not in the race. I am so impressed with Elizabeth Warren’s accomplishments and her dedication to public service that I’d start a fan club. That is, if I didn’t mind cleaning …
