(In the interests of full disclosure, I readily admit to being a life-long New York Yankee fan.  Born half a mile from Baseball’s Temple in the Bronx, I couldn’t very well be anything but.  I say all that to pre-empt any allegations of bias against the Boston Red Sox and toward the Yankees since I also readily admit to despising the Sox almost as much as I did the Brooklyn Dodgers in my youth.  This very brief eulogy is not intended to praise the Boston Red Sox but to, once again, bury them.)

In recent weeks, three books have hit the literary market, one a revealing collection of the thoughts of Jackie Kennedy Onassis, the other two gossipy collections of rabid drivel written and published out of spite and animosity. 

Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on Life with John F. Kennedy represents an invaluable insight into the opinions of a former First Lady who was publicly reticent and deferential in her lifetime but privately involved with strong feelings on a number of subjects. 

Transcriptions of audiotaped interviews dating to 1964, less than a year after her husband’s  assassination and kept under seal as per … Read the rest

Some things are better left unsaid and unelucidated.  Among them are details on which Hollywood starlet is sleeping with which director, why Ashton Kutcher married Demi Moore–and sensationalized tripe on the sex lives of 10 year old girls.  

The Gay Lobby, however, wants everything elucidated and out there when it comes to what segment of the population it is in process of seducing lately in hopes that more kids will do it, try it, because, as per the newest homosexual catchphrase, “It gets better.”  

(See http://bit.ly/oOGDIl for further information on the import of how life allegedly “gets better” for youngsters … Read the rest

   “I thought when we elected a black President, we were going to get a black President. . . . I want a real black president.  I want him in a meeting . . . where he lifts up his shirt where you can see the gun in his pants [and says] ’We’ve got a ‘mother@!#$%ing problem here.’  Shoot somebody in the foot.” 

The implications in that now infamous spleen-venting were perfectly clear: Real African-Americans packed guns, had foul mouths, were prone to violence, and shoot people.  The only racist insults missing are that they’re all lazy and on welfare.

The ”Darwin Award” is conferred on individuals who unknowingly gave their all in the inadvertent interests of preserving humanity’s gene pool by expiring in the process of committing acts of amazing stupidity and thereby removing themselves from the danger of further corrupting the genetic makeup of the human species. 

Without referencing darwinism and the survival of the fittest, Spike TV features any number of deserving Darwin Awards winners on “1000 Ways to Die,” a ghoulish series on how people meet their Maker via wooden-headed choices.   

Usually conferred posthumously, exceptions should be granted for giving a “Darwin” to  the recently-released Iraq, … Read the rest

   There’s long been more than a sneaking suspicion that President Barack Hussein Obama is a dyed-in-the-wool anti-Semite although there’s no doubt he is more prone to gaffes than even George W. Bush.  His closet anti-Semitism may have met his “gaffery” over the weekend at the Congressional Black Caucus awards in Washington. 

Quickly scrubbed from the official transcript of Obama’s speech advocating class warfare–technically, he was addressing what he called a growing disparity of wealth in the United States–the president mixed up Jews and janitors before he realized his Freudian slip but he had already been caught by the tale of … Read the rest

Barack Hussein Obama hasn’t even officially declared his intent to seek a second term but his attack machine is already deployed against the Republican Party with Teamsters President James Hoffa declaring all-out war against those “sons of bitches,” Vice President Biden labeling the GOP “barbarians,” and virtually every Democrat slandering Governor Rick Perry as “dumb” and accusing the Tea Party of racism and Nazism as the Anointed One remains above the fray by playing yet another round of golf. 

   It’s hard to believe it will get worse over the coming months, but it will.  Conservative Republican candidate for the presidency … Read the rest

  Okay, so a 20 year old girl went out with some friends last Thursday to the Saddle Ranch Restaurant in West Hollywood and, being an adventurous as well as pretty young lady, she took a ride on one of those horn-less mechanical bulls intended by management to provide some rocky entertainment for the clientele. 

Bodacious but innocent enough, right? 

Wrong, when the rider was Bristol Palin, eldest daughter of Sarah Palin, conservative  former governor of Alaska and Republican candidate for the vice presidency of the United States three years ago and when members of her audience were foul-mouthed liberals.  

   Subsequently … Read the rest

   An old friend who perceives himself a quasi-liberal since he and his family members have been labor unionists for generations once said to me, “Well, you get all your news from Fox News.”  He had previously blamed Republicans for the election of Barack Hussein Obama because the GOP nominated lame John McCain.  

That old union friend was wrong on the first count but probably right on the second. 

The only rational explanation for Obama’s election in 2008 is no viable competition but when I do watch television news I split my time pretty equally with the left wing networks and … Read the rest

   I don’t remember being bullied in school and no one I know was ever “bullied” or was a “bullyer,” in the contemporary senses of those terms.  Of course, in the interests of full disclosure, having attended parochial school, bullying wasn’t allowed since nuns  generally attended to that duty.

I do recall, occasionally, teasing when I was the teaser without intending the teasing to in any way connote threats or intimidation and some dumb older kids sometimes asserting their age and size by being overbearing.  At least one of those dumbasses ended up in prison, another became a teacher.
