In a most-personal and open manner, Rick Santorum endorsed Mitt Romney for president — the broadcast via e-mail at about 11 o’clock last night. Who’s the wiser? Reportedly, last Friday Romney visited Pittsburgh where he and Santorum clinched together for “an over-hour long one-on-one meeting,” and three days later, the endorsement came in the middle…
Much ado about President Obama’s hot-mike comment to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev during the nuclear pow-wow in Korea: “This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility.” Obama appears real-positive about what will happen in November. Although he snagged some dumb-ass comments from GOP presidential contenders, and tried to make light of…
In the dawn of a Republican keg party of nonsense, a shitload of delusional US peoples will take to the ballot box in 10 states and try to separate the horribly bad from just the plain, dumb bad. Super Tuesday they want to call it. Except them Republican voters are staying home — so far…
The vaulted Michigan primary is this Tuesday and the ugly, nasty waters of the GOP will be muddled even further if Mitt Romney loses — the man’s biggest rival, bonehead Rick Santorum, blubbered to voters this weekend to pop the event “on its ear” by choosing him and not Romney when they go to the…

The shift of the living due to a warming environment poses a danger…
Religion covers a lot of ground — there’s a church for just about every conceivable thought and emotion, and there’s always somebody willing to kill you for whatever’s sake. Rick Santorum’s smug view: “In the Christian church there are a lot of different stripes of Christianity. If the president says he’s a Christian, he’s a…
In the 1965 movie, ‘Harlow,’ was the first time I’d heard the aspirin between the knees routine when the bombshell actress (played by bombshell Carroll Baker) first arrived in Hollywood and wondered how to survive. Paraphrasing, as I can’t locate a screenplay anywhere online, she asks some slimy producer, who responds with a nasty smile,…
Rainy day here along California’s northern coast, though, the sun does peek out from amongst the clouds every now and then. Odd sensation that: Sunshine and rain. In my original neck-of-the-woods (southeastern Alabama), there was some old catch-saying I’d heard as a wee child, went something like this: ‘When you see sun when it’s rainin,’…
