Internet news headlines that make reference to a specific video but then do not provide a link to the video in the story. Often displaying an entirely unrelated video. I suppose this is some gimmick to get you to click on the link but it is maddening.

I agree. And, of course, Europe could bankroll an endless war if they want it to continue as their leaders have recently suggested. The US has wasted countless trillions over the last 70 years on these regional conflicts with almost nothing to show for it except millions of deaths. The US...

JuJu dropping 30 on UCLA to win the Big Ten for USC women.

The Niners went from being one of the best run organizations to one of the worst last season. The hype about Purdy was overstated. The injuries were killers. Samuel was unhappy even when things were going well. For some reason, he didn't want to play there. Not getting much in return once...

Ordering the most obscure books imaginable and having Amazon deliver them to my door within 24-48 hours. Pretty amazing.

That was quite a show today in the Oval Office. Whether for good or ill remains to be seen.

A lot of great movies. More than I can even remember. He seemed like a humble guy for someone of his fame. I saw a clip of him speaking about how grateful he was to have had the opportunity to act for a career. And he apparently knew when to call it quits. The voyeuristic journalism and...

I'm hoping the tariffs are a short-term bargaining tools to get those countries (almost everyone) who have ripped us off for the last several decades to change their unfair trade practices. We buy all their stuff but can't sell any US made goods in many places due to tariffs. And we also pay...

If you cut over $4 trillion in incoming taxes but only $800 billion in outgoing spending, that is fairly straightforward. Even if the tax cuts generate some additional revenue in terms of improving the economy, it is not going to be enough to avoid adding to the deficit. Musk's efforts are...

The proposed budget is projected to INCREASE the deficit by about $4 trillion. That's trillion with a "t". LOL. You have to laugh at the hue and cry about saving a few million here and there when you are talking about trillions of dollars and counting on the other end.

The US budget process. Only four times in the last fifty years has Congress passed an actual budget. The next deadline is quickly approaching and there is almost nothing in the news about it. Instead they are consumed with Musk. Typically, this process goes right up to the deadline and then...

There are wars going on, the Pope is seriously ill, there is a new plane crash or incident every day and the news cycle was consumed today by an email that Musk sent that created some confusion. I once joked that if an asteroid was on the way to destroy Earth, CNN would be carrying a Trump story...

I just read that Clint Hill passed away this week. He was the last surviving person from the JFK assassination car. He was on the sideboard of the secret service car following behind the JFK limo when the first shots were fired. He leaped off the car, ran to the presidential limo, and climbed...

"White Lotus" on HBO. I'm just making my way through season one but it's a wicked riff on the superficial nature of modern-day privileged society in our age of Idiocracy. Hard to tell if the show is laughing at them or with them, however. Maybe that's the point. It's both sad and funny...

My fear is that Musk is derailing the inflation and immigration agenda with his Sideshow Bob act. He is creating chaos and confusion and deflecting time and energy from the issues that were of the highest priority during the election. I do like the foreign policy objectives to end the wars and...

50 and 60 degree temps coming this week. The first sign of Spring after a long cold spell that ran my utility bill up to around $800. I'll keep an open mind but so far, so bad on those "day one" campaign promises to lower prices "drill baby drill." At this point, I would settle for progress...

The robot umps are long overdue. Hopefully that brings to an end all the complaining about the balls and strikes soon. The NFL needs something like that for first downs and TDs.

Enjoying a surprisingly strong season 3 of "From." Things went off the rails a bit in season 2 but this season moves the plot with lots of action. Making the most of a simple premise. Moving on to "Yellowjackets" next.

Sorry to read about the health issues of former Vietnam vet and horror movie icon Reggie Bannister who is suffering from dementia and entering hospice care. He was fantastic in the various "Phantasm" movies during the 70s and 80s. They don't make them like that anymore.

You got off lucky. Here in PA, I paid almost $800 in utility bills last month. It's outrageous. I'm not sure how most folks are heating their homes.
