Last Saturday, the California Republican Assembly put on a display of incongruity so amazing, I’m struggling with how to describe the hypocrisy and irony that made the meeting such a disaster. The train wreck of expediency over principle concerns the Conservative Republicans of California group founded by Karen England, Steve Frank and others ejected from…

The Myth of the Antichrist
As I touched on in my last installment, the word “antichrist” never appears in the book of Revelation. Yep, it’s a doctrine to many folks but like most of the B.S. propagated by C.I. Scofield, it cannot be found in the actual text of the Bible. The Antichrist, of popular culture, is a composite of…

I had a talk with my father-in-law yesterday and this topic came up. The following happened to him. You get a call from your bank informing you that you are the victim of a fraudulent charge. The person on the phone has a caller ID stating that it’s your bank calling. They have your account…

Yep, 13 months after our first payment to him, attorney Mario has finally secured a court date for November 10th. Folks, this has been a long and slow process, but the trial is finally happening.

Long time no blog out of me. Like most I have been busy, but also prices have gone up so much at local eateries that I am going to have to re-evaluate my criteria for judging businesses. However, I have killed the local Dickey’s “BBQ” joint for what may be the final time. You may…

Having Mario for your attorney must be like growing up as a Chicago White Socks fan. You keep waiting and waiting. It takes literal decades for them to win the pennant. In their case, it was 100 years. Then back to business as usual. The business of losing. Since my last post on Mario, my…

Recap My girlfriend in the Philippines was once married. Her husband cheated on her, abandoned her, left the country, and last time he saw her, he beat the crap out of her and put her in the hospital. He has an outstanding arrest warrant for this assault and cannot return to the Philippines without being…
