• Waiting For Trump’s Indictment Is Like Waiting For Godot

  Whoever is scripting this life of ours needs to calm the eff down. You can only keep an audience on pins and needles for so long before they turn on you. Though he’s evaded punishment of any sort his entire life, Donald Trump is about to face real accountability for the very first time. At…

• The Chicken Sushi Experience

  You haven’t lived until you’ve tried chicken sushi (chicken sashimi actually but “sushi’s” a much funnier word). Or lived the chicken sushi experience. The “chicken sushi experience” has become my go-to metaphor for life experiences where it’s the second time around that hurts far more than the first. There’s a dark twist to this –…

• America’s Tax Problem Isn’t That Taxes Are Too High, It’s That We Don’t Think We GET Anything For Them…

  Americans have always hated paying taxes. “No taxation without representation” was one of our first great marketing triumphs as a young nation. Wanna know who WE are? We’re the “We ain’t paying no stinking taxes” guys. The colonists saw their tax dollars going out and nothing coming back in return. What made it worse —…

• Can We PLEASE Get This Straight? NO ONE Loves Their Health INSURANCE…

  Somewhere, an evil genius is smiling so hard his face hurts. It might be the same evil genius who came up with a “Mission Accomplished” banner for the background of a speech by George W. Bush — on an aircraft carrier — during a war he started for no reason. Yeah, I know the banner…

• Americans Need To Get It Out Of Our Heads: We DO NOT Do Everything Right

  My gut is, this very American attitude — “How WE Do It Is How It Should Be Done” — flows from, the MALE of the American species. It’s definitely got a “I alone can fix it” pong to it. You know how men are kind of “famous” for refusing to ever ask for directions when…

• Just Because You Don’t Know You’re At War, Doesn’t Mean You AREN’T At War. Ask The Folks Who Lived At Pearl Harbor…

  Ever been cheated on in a relationship? Ever discover the cheating was going on practically forever? What hurts most about it is the deception, right? YOU thought your relationship was one thing but, in fact, your relationship was something else entirely: YOU were the dummy. Just because you didn’t know you were living a lie…
