Another Day.
He wakes up. He is Lost. No, he is mistaken. He is watching Lost. It is good. He is in the kitchen. He is barefoot. He drops a glass and it bounces between his naked feet one time. Please don’t break. Two times. Please don’t break. Three times it breaks and smashes into a thousand…

Another Day.
He wakes up. It is early. He gets up. He writes. He eats breakfast. He goes to the gym. He has a shower. He eats. He gets very tired. He is very very tired. He goes out. It is cold out. It is very cold out. He watches improvised comedy and he laughs and smiles.…

War makes monsters of us all and there were, no doubt, many instances where the Allies committed what would today be defined as war crimes.

War makes monsters of us all and there were, no doubt, many instances where the Allies committed what would today be defined as war crimes.

1967 in review with Woody Allen and William F. Buckley Jr. Particularly interesting is their analysis of the Middle East given that, a year later, there was a War. I won’t spoil it by quoting the section. Watch it, it’s not long. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

Culture of Illusion – Got to Love a Hater.

Culture of Illusion – It’s Not Easy Being Green.
The men who joined Washington’s army were young and mostly poor farmers, fishermen, and artisans; some were Africans. Now I am not an expert in American history and the National Museum of American History in Washington DC is, no doubt, full of experts in history. I do, however, have a couple of points to make…

In December of 1953 the first color television became available to the American consumer. It’s cost then was a hefty $1,175. I was curious as to what that would be today, calculating for inflation. So I opened up an inflation calculator – and got this answer: $9,899.00 Then I went searching for an image of the…
