Real Nightmare from Vietnam War

In light of the Kavanagh hearings, I would like to put some perspective on this ridiculous and embarrassing political dog and pony show. Checkout a real traumatic event. http://www.mnhs.org/historycenter

Christine Blasey Ford's Life Could Have Been Different

Christine Blasey Ford's Life Could Have Been Different UnAssociated Press September 28, 2018 Christine Blasey Ford is a 51-year-old California professor and research psychologist in Northern California at Palo Alto University and the Stanford University PsyD Consortium; a clinical psychology program where she teaches statistics, research methods and psychometrics. She has accused Supreme court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh of groping her and trying to take her clothes off when they were both attending high school in Maryland in the early 1980's. She has admitted to being intoxicated, as was Kavanaugh—and has testified that the experience has traumatized her throughout her life. You see, Christine Blasey Ford did not want to become a professor and research psychologist. She had originally wanted to become a homeless drug addict. It is a well known fact, that no high school student has ever been traumatized; especially during an unsupervised, underage drinking party. It is also w...

Trump's Ego

Trump's Ego UnAssociated Press September 27, 2018 Shortly after Donald Trump's press conference yesterday, his ego began to grow substantially! Thinking that he had outsmarted everyone in the world (again), Trump's ego began to expand at an exponential rate! Just when the nation's capitol was about to be crushed by the giant ego, someone yelled,     "Hey! Isn't that the guy with the tiny hands ???" Suddenly, the enormous ego began to shrink. It shrank and shrank until it no longer posed a threat to the population of the USA. At least for the moment.

More Kavanaugh Accusers

More Kavanaugh Accusers UnAssociated Press September 25, 208 More Kavanaugh Accusers have come forward in the last 25 hours. Details are sketchy at this time, but it appears that two more women, a man, three Doberman pinchers and a squirrel were all involved in a drunken orgy with the beleaguered Supreme Court nominee; while they were at band camp 36 years ago. Not since the Clarence Thomas hearings has there been such a ruckus over a nominee and his alleged sexual exploits.

The Death of "Butt Spindell"

Two days ago, my wife decided to buy our new goldfish and took my son to the pet store. They bought four and there was also a tiny, Rosy Red Minnow that somehow got into the bag with the other fish. The poor little fish swam quickly around the tank; but unfortunately lasted only until the next evening before dying suddenly. My young son was sad. He had named the fish, "Butt-Spindell." My son likes trains. He especially likes the Thomas and Friends trains. Frequently, he likes to quiz me on the characteristics of the Thomas and Friends engines. I unfortunately, am not very good at this, so I created the "Flippin-Rock and the Masters of the Universe" train collection. These trains were my invention and came from my mind, so I now had a chance of scoring in the train games! My wife told our son that I was just making this all up. That, however, did not dissuade him from joining in and making even more characters! Besides Flippin-Rock, who is the main character...

How it was Done 1000 Years Ago No Longer Applies

Deep down, she had to know that this was not the highlands of Laos. It must be evident on some level that the "emergency" of housing aging, sickly parents for one night while plumbing repairs were waiting, would be to simply buy them a room at a local motel. But the 1000-year-old doctrine was clear. They must be housed inside the home of a close relative. Even if that meant an uncomfortable bed or needing to climb up and down stairs and no chance of escaping the fire-escape if it was ever needed. She had her 1000-year-old reasons why it had to be done in the most difficult, laborious and time-consuming manner possible. Convenience was a thing for Americans. It was not how it was done in her culture — even if it was the better choice. In fact, even though he was not a Hmong, his idea to house them comfortably in a motel room was a grievous insult! One that would be handled in the "old way." With lengthy, passive aggressive tactics. Closing communication and sulkin...

Wrong Venue, Right Message?

Is it "offensive" to have an opinion or to ask people to be responsible for themselves? Maybe this was not a good topic to headline a funeral, but it might be good to examine the argument for social value. https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2018/08/31/aretha-franklin-eulogist-reverend-jasper-williams/1165386002/
