27 Ford vehicles showed-up in the parking lot where I work over the last week. All are new fleet vehicles with spot lights on driver and passenger sides and generic paint jobs. Clearly someone is about to upgrade vehicles for use in law enforcement. It’s just strange what kind of things folks leave in the…

Review: Palermo Restaurant
Palermo has been around for forever in my hometown. I never think about it when it comes to Italian food, even though I have been there 3 times prior. It is a family-owned restaurant that clams to make Italian food from scratch. Let’s get to the review! Blogger Note: on this trip we were in…

I told my girl that I wanted a burger and a beer. I’m not much of a drinker but it just sounded good. We hopped in the car and drove for about 20 minutes to somewhere I’d never been before. We parked next to a McDonald’s—not a good omen—and then went for a walk. We…

Yep, I hereby dissent. We should stay out of the war in the Middle East. (In general, we should stay out of anybody else’s wars including Ukraine. In fairness, I am trying to be consistent.) For the purposes of this blog post, my complaint is not so much against Israel or its government but against…

There is a saying in life, don’t let a group of whackos hijack the group you belong to. Well maybe not, but there ought to be. Anyway, I said it. Well, what happened this past week in the GOP House Caucus is exactly what that saying of mine is all about. The House Democrats and…

Loyal readers, the blog still maintains a co-headquarters here in the People’s Republic of California. We are unsure of where Troll lays his head at night, but we know for a fact it is not near; Hope Hicks, Lolo Jones, Alex Morgan, Hope Solo, or any other of his pop tarts or flavors of the…

One theme that all the editorial staff can agree on here at the blog is Donald Trump’s biggest enemy is himself. The man has been indicted several times, been blamed for starting a riot on January 6th, but nothing seems to stick. He literally might be made of Teflon! Check out this wild statement by…
