Meet The In-Laws
You want to know Melania’s Maiden (hah) Name? Knavs. Her Father, Viktor, is a former member of the Yugoslav Communist Party (for which I don’t blame him, tough to get ahead in Yugoslavia without it and I don’t hate on Communists in general). He was a car salesman (selling Yugos, what else?). Her Mom’s name …

Momsplaining
With Anna from Frozen, no fooling. But first I want to… nah, that won’t work because you’ll think I am and the problem is that writing (at least in the context of a formal essay) is a one way method of communication (you can comment you know, if you’re having a problem you can email- …

Ladies and Gentlemen: Kristen Bell
I don’t think it’s a secret that since I started following The Good Place I’ve really become impressed with Kristen Bell. No, I’m not going to deliver my monograph on Moral Philosphy and the different types of Cigar, Cigarette, and Pipe ash. Olympics, duh. But she does a lot of other stuff that shows up …

The XXIII Winter Olympics: Day 5
Let me explain what I mean by chromosome damaged. You see, us guys have an X and a Y, gals have two Xs. Now that Y, that’s just an X with the bottom leg broken off. Gals are tougher and smarter than we are. I don’t say this to impress the ladies, at 120+ I’d …

The XXIII Winter Olympics: Day 4
So, Football on steroids. I’ve spent a fair amount of time watching Hockey, many, many Rangers games when they were very, very bad. I even know what the Blue Lines are for, no I won’t bore you at this point- maybe later. I’ll tell you instead what the problem with Pro Hockey is- too many …

He can’t read!
As in actually functionally illiterate. Sam Bee explains- The Democrats sent a very political and long response memo which they knew, because of sources and methods (and more), would have to be heavily redacted, whereupon they would blame the White House for lack of transparency. Told them to re-do and send back in proper form! …

The XXIII Winter Olympics: Day 3
Ok, I decided to skip a day in the numbering because the upcoming events looks a day forward to tomorrow. Becca and Matt Hamilton were drawing dead today. Last night’s loss to China didn’t quite make a trip to the semi-finals impossible, but the first victory by anyone else today sure did. As I write …

Good morning Mr. Phelps
As always, should you or any of your I.M. Force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck. Kelly who? If Kelly goes, get ready for the White House to downplay his limited-time role By Callum Borchers, Washington Post February 10 …

The XXIII Winter Olympics: Opening Ceremony
So you want to see it from the beginning? Too bad, Mixed Doubles Curling (what a great sport!) has been going on for 2 days now and Team USA (the highly likeable and very talented Brother/Sister Pair of Becca and Matt Hamilton) are already behind 1 – 3 in the Round Robin having crushed the …

The End Of BREXIT
Or Theresa May and the Tories, or, maybe, both. You might recall that after the snap General Election where Labour under Corbyn performed especially well (and not so incidentally crushed the hopes and dreams of Qusling Neo Liberal Torylite Blairites) and the Conservatives lost their Parliamentary majority, the Tories were forced into a coalition Government …
