This Fall, Jesus is a Republican

“Hey, can I get some help with the groceries?” “Love to, but I’m a citizen of heaven.  I’m not really even here.”   Let’s just take a look, folks, at a few of our problems, here on this earthly plane — as we’re working out our Citizen of Heaven obligations. Last night, and the night..

The Price of Purity

Mea culpa. I have to come clean.  Try to learn something from my mistakes. I am hard on some of you #NeverTrumpers, but I was once something like you — a dedicated, self-satisfied, high conscience loser, waiting for America to catch up with my standards.  It goes way back to 1972, when my mom had..

Megyn Kelly begins her questioning of Republican candidate Donald Trump with this question:  “..You’ve called women you don’t like ‘fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals..”  When Trump replies, getting a laugh with a Rosie O’Donnell joke, Megyn won’t be put off.

Stop Saying #FirstWorldProblem

There are some truths so obvious you get a bit hoarse repeating them: Phoenix, Arizona is a nicer place to live than Tejarcillos, Costa Rica for a reason.  Seattle, Washington beats Zimbabwe for a reason. Salzburg, Austria trumps Sinhung, North Korea  for a reason.  It’s easier being a woman in Madison, Wisconsin than Riyadh, Saudi Arabia..
