Nobody asked but … Today I saw a huge, black SUV, and its model name was “Armada?” I am very sorry to see this completely irrelevant bandying about of words that stem from war. And I suppose the mammoth, black SUV fad was started by Blackwater and the fighting-for-democracy bunch otherwise known as neo-cons. I…

More on Bullies
Nobody asked but … I couldn’t agree with you more, Skyler, in your blog “On Bullycide.” And the ultimate example of bullying is presented by the state. Bullying is in the nature of the state.

Teenagers often have non-authority figures, as I had James Dean, or Marlon Brando with motorcycle jacket, or Elvis. My daughters had Kiss and Sid Vicious. It’s a means…
Sometimes Words Don’t Bridge Chasms
Nobody asked but … Folks, please understand that the Grand Canyon is “open.” The federal government may close the Grand Canyon National Park but the National Park Service would have to grow by factors greater than two to keep the people out of the Grand Canyon. Nature opened the Grand Canyon millions of years ago. …
That’s a Big Duh
Nobody asked but … CBS News tells us that POTUS sez that “the government shutdown is unnecessary.” Absolutely. That’s because the government is unnecessary. The Universe existed before the USA and will continue during the USA and will be here after we’re gone. Kilgore.
