STUPIDITY REARS ITS UGLY HEAD – RICH PASCHALL

The View From Here, by Rich Paschall Living Fearlessly You have probably seen plenty of examples of this. There are those who need a haircut no matter what the risk.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

The Senior Issue, by Rich Paschall Recently a friend of mine commented that if Congress cut Social Security and Medicare, they will see a lot of angry seniors vote them out of office.  Many Republicans promised to do just that before the last election.  If they have control of both houses, they almost certainly will … Continue reading WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

IOKIYAR? – BY TOM CURLEY

I was reading a news story about the Trump Putin press conference in Helsinki where our Twidiot-In-Chief announced to the world that he is Putin’s little bitch. He put Russia first and threw the entire US intelligence community under the bus. It was just one of the dozens of stories I read. Two interesting things … Continue reading IOKIYAR? – BY TOM CURLEY

MOTIVATING DEMOCRATS – BY ELLIN CURLEY

There’s an interesting strain in Jewish history. When Jews are persecuted, killed, locked in Ghettos or severely discriminated against, as in most of our history, we stick together. We stay strong and united. We cling to our traditions and our religion. We stay proud and unbowed as we fight to survive, as individuals and as … Continue reading MOTIVATING DEMOCRATS – BY ELLIN CURLEY

UNHINGED, UNFIT, AND UNBELIEVABLE – BY TOM CURLEY

I’ve learned to write thoughts down when I have them these days. Mostly because I’ll forget those thoughts ten seconds after I have them. Unless I’m really stoned. Then I forget them about three and half seconds after I have them. I look at them the next day and usually have one of three reactions. … Continue reading UNHINGED, UNFIT, AND UNBELIEVABLE – BY TOM CURLEY

TENTERHOOKS? IT’S SO MUCH WORSE THAN THAT!

Tenterhooks, those hooks that hold fabric over the "tent" during manufacture? Not what's on my mind. I'm much more worried about what is going on with my country and it is scaring me half to death. Not just scary, though. Horribly depressing. Now that I've said that, I'm going to make an effort to return … Continue reading TENTERHOOKS? IT’S SO MUCH WORSE THAN THAT!

OUR SAVAGE HEARTS YET BEAT

Did mom and dad let you hunt woolly mammoths after you finished your homework? Didn't you love tearing the raw mammoth meat from the bones and making fire by pounding flint-on-flint? We didn't need no stinking cell phones or cable TV. We did it all with flint and raw muscle power. If you were weak, … Continue reading OUR SAVAGE HEARTS YET BEAT

THE INEVITABILITY OF INEFFICIENCY AND INEFFECTIVENESS- BY ELLIN CURLEY

I’ve been watching the Trump administration for two months. And now I’m less panicked about the future of the country than I was before the inauguration. A great deal of harm will be done on many fronts. But I believe that less damage will get done than anticipated because of the three INs – INfightIng, INcompetence … Continue reading THE INEVITABILITY OF INEFFICIENCY AND INEFFECTIVENESS- BY ELLIN CURLEY

GREAT THOUGHTS SOMETIMES ESCAPE ME

Random Musings by Rich Paschall Often I have great thoughts, frequently while driving my car, which I mean to write down as soon as I get home.  Usually, I forget.  Life intervenes.  They may not be ideas for an entire blog post, perhaps they are just interesting one-liners.  Many have drifted away.  Here are some … Continue reading GREAT THOUGHTS SOMETIMES ESCAPE ME
