I grew up watching documentaries with my Dad on channel thirteen.  It gave me a love for that genre that I still maintain.  So I’m always tickled when either Nflix or AmaPrime bring some good ones into their line ups.  A common thread in the WWII docs are the cuts to either Pathe or Movietone

Brussels, we’re hearing, is a “wake up call”.  San Berdoo was a wake up call.  Paris was a wake up call.  Tunis was a wake up call…I think the illustration stands, now, on it’s own. One of the wonders of modern technology is that we get our news “as it happens”.  We also forget it

Vomitorium. Ever since The Great Communicator left office, (saints be good to him), I’ve had to vote with a clothespin on my nose. Not to worry, there’s room. A question of a “lesser evil” or “the devil you know / don’t know”. Over and over. The GDP, (I’ve substituted DEAD for OLD), “establishment” is getting

 (Author’s note:  Please keep in mind that I wrote this during the hiatus from PQRM.  I found it on one of my old blogs and thought it worthy of publishing here.  You may disagree.  That is your G/d given right.  Oh, yeah, I WAS particularly angry that day.  These things happen….)

“People seem to be losing the spirit of the day. It’s not just about stabbing a friend, it’s about coming together as a group and stabbing a friend” ~ Unknown I suppose I should work a little harder at this, but I have to get them out as soon as I can. Time’s a-wasting. It

There are TWO sexes. Ish. Currently there seem to be nearly sixty different fluidities of gender identification, (gender being the social construct of sex), and that’s fine by me. It’s your life. Live it the way you choose. BUT…in a DNA screen you are going to come up as one or the other. There are

Did you ever wonder how the “suggestions” in the right column of You Tube have ANY relation to the one you’re watching? Me too. I really don’t care that much, but there was one the other day of a couple of A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog) in ground support in the sandbox. Awesome stuff from one

Wow, Millennials! Begging the pardon of our regular readers…I know this may seem more than the usual “characteristically” disjointed. I am, however, trying to get this out and put it someplace so as to gain a broader following. I had a record 121 “notifications” on my Facebook page today in just under 8 hours. Gotta

Anyone who has known me for more than five minutes knows that I don’t like change. I still make gravy the way my family has for generations. I still wear a D.A. I haven’t switched to Windows 10. And my “earworm” today is that great hit by the Temptations – “Ball of Confusion” – and

As has been rehearsed by my esteemed colleague, it has been a while. My “New Year Resolution”, (at least as it pertains to the political fantasy land), is to add a bit of an “edge” to my presence on the internet. We have entered the final year of the Obama presidency. “Let the games begin”,
