It's absolutely horrible and so triggering. Basically an LDS father of 5, shot and killed his wife, his kids, his mother-in-law, and himself earlier this week. I'm also not going to link the KSL story

The media is all in a tizzy about the inability of Kevin McCarthy to get a majority, saying it represents a failure of democracy. Well, no. It faithfully represents the pattern of opinions and convictions

The last surviving member of the 1950 Phillies "Whiz Kids," and a member of the Cardinals 1964 World Series Champs. Several guys from that team are still around: Mike Shannon (OF), Dal Maxvill

Yesterday, armed with a heavy pool cue that a friend got for me as a Christmas present a couple of years ago, I had runs of 32, 25, 25, and 22 consecutive balls pocketed. Not too bad. Today's high was

Parameters as preface, I do think that these united States are a bit behind when it comes to assisted suicide. If you're an elderly person in chronic pain from a terminal illness, and you're of sound mind,

Now, I'm quite sure there's much more awful, stupid stuff that's going to come our way as a result of what's happening in China and how few lessons our own political class have learned in the last few

Here is Alabama coach Nick Saban demonstrating that he doesn't understand marginal analysis. This is a very self-serving statement he makes, and his players are showing that they're better at choosing

Sometimes people are helpful because they are nice, sometimes they are helpful because it is in their interest to be helpful. If they work for a company motivated by profit they have a reason, an incentive,

I think I've been in favor of irreverence, in general, through most of my adult life. So, the whole issue of people tearing down statues, built with tax money, and placed on the government's stolen land

Gay people are people, with full human and constitutional rights. Trans people are people with full human and constitutional rights. Muslims are people with full human and constitutional rights. Buddhists

Enjoyment can't help but praise. I hit another goldmine of wisdom and amusement in 2022, and the book/reading list below was a large part of that. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. I love this poem. It

I started tracking my food about a month ago because in the past I've always hit a plateau with weight loss, and I need data to break through it. I use CarbManager because it focused on a low-carb diet

We just finished my favourite musical, and one of my all time favourite movies: Fiddler on the Roof. It is heart breakingly beautiful. There is, of course, no overt Christmas association: it is about Jews

The FBI's non-rebuttal - parroted by the same people who have done nothing but run cover for flagrant abuses of power by both the government and a giant corporation, and who are otherwise trying to claim

Outside of a handful of hateful boomers and misogynist dullards... we love and appreciate you. We appreciate the times you've been our mentors, we appreciate your contributions to the future of humanity,

We can disagree about, you know... tax policy or cultural issues or whatever the latest decision from the fed happens to be and all that. But if you hear about US intelligence agencies actively using powerful

John McWhorter wrote an excellent column that appeared in today's NY Times. I highly recommend reading it: My one quibble with McWhorter is about the use of the word "hurtful." It's a tricky

Believe it or not, I have some experience in this area. It's been more than a decade and a half since my last performance on stage. It's also been a while since I've performed on camera; but, I've been

When I was a kid, I loved that playing with a lightsaber meant that it made you invulnerable to any of kind of toy gun. There wasn't any debate about that. It was just understood. Better yet, all the other

A typical liberal despises Trump for silly things that were made artificially important by the press; making fun of journalists, naming people like "low energy Jeb" as childish and using course
