‘tRUMPanomics”

“tRUMPANOMICS”

tRump is now doing to America and the global economy what he did to his shithole Atlantic City casinos. Bleed them dry. Run them into the ground. Shit on the workers. Turn every bumbling failure into performative ego-stroking theatrics.

The Other Side of Perspective

THE OTHER SIDE

I think it’s important to look back on all of our lives and think of the wonderful people who changed us, and taught us, and gave us extraordinary perspectives, almost entirely for the better. This is purely a guess, but I suspect many of us will admit the most surprising benefits and broader horizons were often, not from those shallow spaces we grew up with or would have expected, but from people and places far away that we did not expect.

In 1994, I walked into the Turkish Embassy in Washington DC  thinking I had no shot at a job opening for a writer-editor position working for a country I really didn’t know that much about.

ALL THEY DO IS LIE — LIES, LIES, LIES

“We think…..the people of Greenland are going to choose to be part of the United States.”

Uhmmmm……no, you stupid shit.

The people of Greenland are 85 percent OPPOSED to being taken over by the United States.

EIGHTY-FIVE PERCENT OPPOSED!

Thoughts on Smoking

Posted by on Mar 27, 2025 in Blog | 0 comments

 

I just saw a report that says cigarette smoking among the American population has reached an all-time low. Only about 11 percent of Americans smoke cigarettes–defined as using a tobacco product within the past week. The high point on smoking’s popularity was the year 1965, when nearly half of all adults smoked. This interim period reveals a remarkable reversal of habit, social norms, and how different everyday activities used to be, when smoking was such a significant part of daily life.

Meet “Bimbo Barbie”

MEET “BIMBO BARBIE”

I made the stupid mistake of tuning in to watch BIMBO BARBIE today.

You’ve seen her.  She’s constantly lying, insulting every question that was directed at her, visibly frustrated, angry, totally out of her league, losing her shit in front of the cameras. I’d look up her name, but she isn’t worth the Google search to find and spell her name right.

All they do is LIE. Lies. Lies. Lies.

All she does is LIE. Lies. Lies. Lies.

NOTHING they say is honest or believable.

Parading a 27-year-old cult zombie to deflect incompetence, stupidity, and corruption doesn’t inspire confidence. It only makes things more obvious.

It’s hard to tell which place spews more bullshit — Bimbo Barbie and the Trump stooges constantly spinning excuses and spewing toxins, or the DC wastewater and sewage treatment plant running 24/7.

My money’s on Bimbo Barbie.

All Night Long: Did the “Old Las Vegas” Really Have Comedians and Music Until Sunrise?

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE “OLD LAS VEGAS”

Recently, I came across this old photo. Click and enlarge to get a better view.

Take a closer look at the sign. It’s undated, but based on some quick research, I believe it’s from 1967 on the Las Vegas Strip. [see footnote below]

Truckin’ on Shakedown Street (Grateful Dead Festival)

THE GRATEFUL DEAD FESTIVAL (AKA “SHAKEDOWN STREET”)

I’ve never been much into the Grateful Dead. That’s a confession more than a statement, because I’ve certainly missed some great times. I deeply appreciate -even admire- the unique sub-culture and cool people they’ve attracted to their events for more than half a century. Indeed, there’s something really special about “Deadheads.” I won’t even bother to try explaining it. If you’ve ever been around a Grateful Dead event of any kind or been with that crowd–you’ll get it. If not, there’s no point, really. Trust me, the Dead is something not to merely listen to or enjoy, but to experience.

Remembering Norm Clarke

Posted by on Mar 20, 2025 in Blog | 0 comments

 

 

Very sad to hear of Norm Clarke’s death. For many years, Norm was a “must-read” daily columnist — first with the Associated Press, then the Rocky Mountain News, and for the last three decades in the LVRJ when it was once a diverse newspaper with an independent voice. He knew everybody in town and often was the first to break big local news. When the phone rang and you saw “Norm Clarke” was calling, that was a mandatory pick up.
