Weight of the World

July 5, 2022 Some days, it’s difficult to write about tragedies in one’s life when there seem to be so many more tragic events happening out in the world. I start to wonder, are my challenges simply trivial next to other people’s? One of my concerns is posting some really…

WSJ’s Bad Argument: Yes, the Justices Lied to the Senate

June 27, 2022 The Wall Street Journal used to be required reading when I was a Finance Major in college. It was a newspaper for business people and took a reasonably objective stance when reporting facts. Granted, Sunday’s Opinion published by the Editorial Board is published as an “opinion.” But…

They Lied!

June 24, 2022 As we ponder the implications of the opinion we knew was coming, all I can keep thinking about is THE LIES. The GOP has become better skilled at lying than the worst conmen in history. They aren’t even good at it. We all know they’re lying, but…

DARVO

June 2, 2022 As I said in yesterday’s post, I haven’t watched the Heard-Depp trial and haven’t followed the mud-slinging between the sides. However, since yesterday’s verdict, I have read quite a few articles analyzing the case and dissecting the strategy. Most believe the verdict was influenced by the media…

The Futility of Reason

June 1, 2022 It’s difficult to find a topic to write about on this first day of June. So many events are in the news, the demand for our attention is going into overdrive. I honestly don’t think I have enough brainpower to absorb so much so soon. …

Why I Won’t Go to Texas

May 25, 2022 Unless you already live in a red state, walking down the street in Austin is a culture shock. I visited the Texas capital twice in 2018 on pre-planned trips and I have not returned since. …
