Mr. Klepper speaks
Someone asked Jordan Klepper for his most memorable moment from all of his “Man on the Street” interviews of MAGA types, and his answer gives some fascinating food for thought:
Land of the “free”, home of the “brave”
Land of the free…except for reading what you want to read, teaching your kids what you want to teach, seeking the medical care you and your doctor think you need. Home of the brave…unless you’re a cop who is “frightened … Continue reading
Mr. Sorkin
Apparently Aaron Sorkin suffered a bad stroke recently. I certainly wish him well; despite my litany of issues with his work over the years, he is still responsible for some of the best things I’ve ever seen, and I still … Continue reading
President Carter
I’m sure we all know by now that former President Jimmy Carter is accepting hospice care, rather than continuing to seek treatment for various health issues. Carter is 98 years old; he was elected President over 46 years ago, and … Continue reading

I’ve had this ESPN article loaded in a tab for almost a week now, without reading it. I figured a bit of distance would make the article less likely to make me angry. It didn’t work. As I write this, … Continue reading
A Tale of Two Buildings, and other thoughts on The Christmas Blizzard
I make no secret that my day job is doing Facilities Maintenance at a large local grocery store. At my particular location, there are two buildings. The older building, built in 1977, originally housed The Store until 1996, when the … Continue reading
Thanks, Mom
My mother doesn’t like Mother’s Day, having established quite early on when I was a kid that she found it a cynical ploy invented by the greeting card companies. But I’d be remiss if I didn’t cite just one of many … Continue reading →
