This is the beginning of Trump’s end

It wasn’t Trump that sucked the oxygen out of everything, it was the media.  His celebrity made them play for ratings, especially in the dog days of summer.  But now, let me pose a question.  Think of the most entertaining, attractive, funny entertainer you can think of.  Now put him or her  on TV, in the […]

The Real Trump?

Actually, listening to the Donald lately as he gets serious, the situation is getting more obvious. He is a not-so-closet liberal up against the most unimpressive group of politicians and wannabes. The people who support him are “republicans” by birth or background but really populists that have no clue what republicans are doing to them. […]

The Disaster Called Microsoft

Since ceasing my PC consulting and changing to a Mac, I have been estranged from the Windows world. But yesterday, helping a friend with a new computer and Windows 8, I could not get over the abomination they have created. The screen was totally incomprehensible. They did steal some stuff from Apple and saw to […]

Solomon’s Dozen – Confessions of a Dirty Old Man

My new book, Solomon’s Dozen – Confessions of a Dirty Old Man should be off the press in paperback in a couple of days. I plan to release it on August 15. You can order your pre-release copy now. Solomon Nassau is an old guy who is inspired by a performance of Don Giovanni and goes […]

Republican Debate – Hard to Predict

Back in 1999, when my book “The Year 2000 Hoax” came out, I was debating all the naysayers on radio, TV, in the news, all the dopes – and they were dopes – who said the world would come to an end because of the Y2K bug. When on January 1, 2000, the world didn’t […]

Hillary is Waffling

Hillary’s proposal to incentivize business to have profit sharing is blatant do-nothingism.  If you want to change the tax code, increase the tax on high incomes.  I don’t mean the $500,000 income.  I mean the 5 million and up guys.  That’s where the income disparity is.  Also, if you want workers to share in productivity, […]

The Confederate Flag is Down

It took a long time and there was still some resistance though not as much as I thought there would be, but the paragon of racism symbols is gone. But racism isn’t gone.  Obama brought the racists out of the closet. Even the so-called respectable racists, those who pretend not to be, outed themselves.  Sure, repeal […]

A Little History as I See it

Back in the 30s, Tom Watson of IBM was asked by Wall street to talk to his friend FDR and ask him to back off his planned regulations. FDR’s answer was something like, “Tom, you go back and tell your banker friends that I’m trying to save this country’s economy. And if I succeed, I […]

SCOTUS and the republicans

There it is!  The republicans could not eliminate, or put an asterisk, or whatever to remove Barack Obama from history.  He is indeed a black president with significant accomplishments and after he leaves office, he will have existed in our history.   Regarding the fanatic Christian reaction to gay marriage ruling, I continue to ask […]
