The Fall Out

-
The shock of the election hasn’t quite worn off. Kansas elected a Democratic senator. Hasn’t happened since 1932. Texas is blue. Women governors, black senators, a tight race in freaking Mississippi (and who doesn’t love typing that word). And everyone waiting on the huge, narcissistic, ketchup throwing tantrum… …which hasn’t been made public yet. The first response was anticipated: “This wasn’t about me. Everyone loves me. If I were running we would’ve won bigly.” But that’s where what we expected runs dry. He claims he can work with Democrats. Credits how they ran their races. Talks about his pool, the ballroom and the arch. Zero enthusiasm for any of it. Seems medicated. He was asked if he was worried about being impeached. “For what? Being the greatest president ever?” The corruption needs to be addressed. As ugly as it might be, making $2.4 billion while Americans suffered to eat, must be addressed. For now… …we wait. And wonder if he will start flinging his crap all over the cage...

MAGA Is Dead

-
I guess I can still be shocked. Years ago, I worked for a man who was downright abusive  to everyone who worked for him. He ruled by fear, and I spent days looking over my shoulder, afraid to make a mistake. I was a young man at the time, and I kind of believed that it was just how the world worked. He was in charge. He could treat us however he wanted. I finally left the job, but the first few days after leaving, I was still worried about being yelled at. I was still worried about the madman. I had grown used to it. I felt a little like that last night as the election results rolled in. “MAGA is dead,” I thought. “And he is now powerless.” Yet, I’m still concerned as how the madman might react. It seems to be over. Americans across the board communicated their absolute disgust with the war, the high prices, and the corruption. Why are we cheering for billionaires? At our own expense? It seemed that a lot of people asked themselves those questions. Will Democrats automatically fix ...

Election Night

-
Tucker Carlson, of all people, put out a missive on X that laid out what may or may not happen immediately following the election. Carlson is a rat. He enabled this mess, and mocked anyone who dared to stand up against the pedophile pig that he helped get elected. Yet, as usual, he was cast aside when he was no longer useful, and he is now speaking the truth (as much as he can do that) about the danger we are in. Carlson believes that America is contemplating dropping a nuke on Iran. You don’t need an IQ higher than 80 to realize that doing such a thing could lead to a global economic collapse, World War III and the end of the planet. Unfortunately, those in charge, at the present time, do not appear to have IQ’s above 60. It’s absolutely horrifying to read what Carlson wrote, and if he’s doing it for clicks (which is entirely possible) he should be arrested. If there’s even a grain of truth to what was laid out, we need to end this now. 25th Amendment  If we don’t use it now, we n...

A Sad Story

-
I saw the promotion for the documentary on Matthew Perry’s life, but I was hesitant to mention it because I knew it would be sad. We were fans of ‘Friends’ when it was on 30 years ago, and I know it’s cool to say that ‘it isn’t funny’ or that the jokes are ‘embarrassing now’ because everything is so serious now, but it was a good show. Chandler Bing was a household name. There are three long episodes that are mostly narrated by his sister and a few of his closest friends. They are fair to him, but it was truly a sad story of massive addiction and it cost him his life at just 54 years old. Sad. And over the last ten years of his life he battled to understand why he couldn’t beat it. He spent $7 million on rehab. He wrote a book and performed a play, all in the effort to help others who suffered. And he couldn’t help himself, and some opportunists took advantage at the end and stole his money as they fed his problem. Yeah. Didn’t want to watch it. But did, and in the end, I wanted to und...

Beautiful Weather

-
It’s supposed to be 72 degrees on Wednesday. In Buffalo on November 04. Funny thing about it is that I have a quick golf trip coming up with a few buddies. It was supposed to be a trip away from the cold, and a chance to play golf late in the season. I played here yesterday…the ball still bouncing down the fairway. Not sure what to make of the change of climate here. Is it an indication of global warming or is it just the way it goes? I have dreams about a year where there isn’t a deep freeze and 6’ of snow in the driveway. “Imagine if we lived somewhere we don’t have to dread 3 months of the year?” I asked a coworker. “I love the snow,” he said. Walked away from that dope. But one can dream. Anyway, what’s the point? I’m going golfing! Turns out, could’ve stayed here and played too. Either way, I’m all right.

Halloween

-
We are not dressing up this year, unless you count shorts and tee-shirt to watch all the great shows that are suddenly out. Lowdown with Ethan Hawke is a good one - that has a second season - we binged all of season 1 last week. Tulsa King is back - Stallone’s face doesn’t move at all anymore - Botox makes people look crazy. It’s not a great series, but we’ve watched it all along. A new series - Nocturnal - is a good one - on Apple TV. Yet, what drives me crazy is that a series will start in a certain place, and then suddenly we go back in time to try and explain the bad guy’s motivation. And then it will flash: “Two weeks ago.” A story should have a start, middle and end, but it seems we get a story arc of: “Start, Before the start, Present Day, a month before the main character was born, twenty years down the line, and then two weeks ago.” “Who the hell is that guy?” Kathy will sometimes ask as we get to the end of an episode. “That’s his long-lost son from when he was a teenager.” S...

Mass Graves & Surface Missiles

-
Quite the election we have coming up. There are absolute doomsday scenarios unfolding as reports are flying around. This is what I’ve heard: 1). The pentagon is preparing for 90 days without power. 2). There are surface to air missiles set up around Mar-A-Lardo. 3). The military is being trained on how to dig mass graves. 4). Nations are telling citizens to prepare for food and water shortages. We great yet? Now, of course, we may not need those mass graves, but I know a lot of people who are nervous about what might happen because all indications are that there will be a blue tidal wave as Americans hit the voting booth to show their absolute disgust with what’s been going on. The thing is: There’s a true possibility that all hell may break loose because we are being controlled by an absolute madman. He ripped a Reuters reporter for asking if he was sick of the travel. Of all things he bashed the man’s appearance, implying that the man was out of shape. No mirrors? It’s all so insane....
