I think it all started with microwave ovens. This time-saving machine set off a national addiction to convenience. We first used it to heat mediocre prepared food (usually with uneven results). Since it was too much trouble to rotate the food every few seconds, we moved the turntable from the record player to inside the microwave. And since it also […]
“I don’t like this forest. It’s…it’s dark and creepy.” So said Dorothy Gale from Kansas, but they sound like words coming from virtually every Democrat drawing breath these days. When the Tin Woodman tells her and the Scarecrow about the additional possibility of lions, tigers and bears, the trio is drawn down the yellow brick road at an increasing, if […]
Now, more than ever, we need to be on our knees for our country. Join me as we consider these things. Material. I have covered this before, but it is clearly an issue that is not going away. What is Donnie Trump’s problem with Muslin? I mean, it’s one thing to have an affinity for Egyptian cotton, but to issue […]
It started as soon as we got to baggage claim in Washington on Wednesday of last week. As most of the people I could see were wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat, or were with someone who was, or were just wearing sweat suits in camouflage, a wave of anxiety started to roll over me. It didn’t get any […]
Behold these new beginnings, these retributions and these liberties. Inauguration: God Bless America! Our new President, Donald J. Trump, has been officially coronated, er, inaugurated and is hard at work making America great again! Already, the White House web pages for the Mexicans and Sodomites have been removed. Brother Donald, being a fine Christian man, entered his new home in […]
So here’s the deal. I’m meeting a friend for lunch, and she’s running a little late. The restaurant is not very busy, just a couple of ladies at a nearby table. After ordering a cup of coffee, my ears prick up when the word of the day bangs against my eardrum from one of the ladies. Inauguration. Now I was […]
We’re with her. Lots of hers. That’s why we plan to join thousands of women (and supportive men) on Saturday for the Dallas Women’s March. The event is timed to coincide with the marches in Washington, D.C. and around the world to make sure the message of equality rings loud and clear. Very loud. Very clear. And, just to be […]
If you read last week’s column (and I hope you did), I told you we might talk this week about why one should never offend a hairdresser if I didn’t see anyone wearing a Trump “Make Christmas Great Again” sweater. Well, I didn’t. And I’m a little disappointed that I didn’t because it could have made a great picture for […]
I found out when I was 16 years old that Daddy believed having a driver’s license meant that I was supposed to have a job when I wasn’t in school. So the summer after I got my license, I took a job working at a ladies’ shoe store downtown. (What were they thinking?) When that didn’t work out, Daddy arranged […]
I have been on my knees this week until they are FLAT! Let us ponder these things for which I’ve been in supplication. Idiots: In the ongoing saga of cabinet appointments from the Gilded Egg, the new Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is Brother Ben Carson. Allegedly, The Golden One felt the need to appoint a black man […]
