What new madness did The Vulgar Talking Yam spout today? Has the RNC lost any more members? Did any more Republican Senators or House members come out against the buffoon today? The Party of Lincoln has devolved into The Party of Bigotry , Racism and Hatred. Trump has gathered up the elderly white middle class …
I don’t know who’s in charge of the in-store music system at the Navy Commissary at Pearl Harbor, but the playlist today was smoking. It was all 70s rock n’ roll, and the first song I noticed was “Take It Easy” by The Eagles. The next song was “Rockin’ Me” by Steve Miller Band. After …

Poof, gone. I futzed around with the cable modem and the router for a while with no success, and I kept getting …
This may not be devastating, but if it were directed at me I’d be a little annoyed, and yet I couldn’t argue with the contents since they’re in my own words.
Okay, Rio and Brazil are in the midst of a horrible recession, so they couldn’t spend a fortune. In some ways that made this event more fun. The focus was on the athletes, not a big extravaganza.
