I am quite proud to say, most, if not all of my FB friends are people with very kind hearts, and are not bullies, nor haters. I'm glad that most of you have open minds, and are tolerant and accepting of people different than yourself, due to their loving a person of the same sex, or due to them being transgender, or due to them loving a person of a different skin color, or due to them being … [Read more...]
A note to former colleague Robert Baker
June 13, 2016 By
So, I noticed you commented on a post from a "major" religious figure (you know, the person's initials are "FG"). But, due to the way FB sometimes works, I wasn't able to see the actual comment - maybe since there were a few hundred thousand other comments to that post (and why the FB algorithm fails...). Anyway, I just wanted to share with you that you were the cause of me losing an hour or so of … [Read more...]
Relaxing
June 12, 2016 By
My kind of weather today - currently 75, high of 79. Got all my windows open, listening the various birds chirping, some minor road traffic from the county road 1/2 mile away. And, then, there are my backyard neighbors, with their air conditioner running full tilt. Weird thing is, it looks as though their back door is open as well. Not sure whether I should go over and tell them (that their AC … [Read more...]
Mr. Trump and his Tweets following “Orlando”
June 12, 2016 By
Presidential Candidate Donald Trump and his Twitter tweets (please see the above photo), in chronological order, since Mr. Trump became aware of the mass killings in Orlando. I also looked at his official campaign website - no official statement from him (other than the tweets in the attached photo). As opposed to the following from Secretary Clinton: "I join the Americans in your prayers for … [Read more...]
An article from “The New Yorker”
June 12, 2016 By
An editorial from the "New Yorker" magazine's website, dated today: In the rhetoric of Donald Trump, mendacity and cynicism compete for equal time. It is hard to say which prevailed today as the Republican Party standard-bearer, a man who pretends to the most powerful political office in the land, tweeted this at his followers: “Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic … [Read more...]
Orlando tragedy
June 12, 2016 By
My thoughts, prayers and tears are with the people in Orlando. Why do so many people have such hatred in their hearts and heads? … [Read more...]
Bobby Fischer Movie
June 11, 2016 By
Watched a pretty good biographical movie tonight: "Pawn Sacrifice", staring Tobey Maguire as a young Bobby Fischer (chess champion in the '60s and '70s). Tobey does a great job at portraying Mr. Fischer. The movie starts with us seeing him as a 6 yr old chess prodigy, thru his teenage and young adult years, and finishes with the infamous 1972 Fischer/Boris Spassky championship match in Iceland, … [Read more...]
Mr. Trump and his comment regarding Elizabeth Warren
June 10, 2016 By
"Pocahontas". Ok, I'm pretty sure President Obama has someone on his staff doing his Twitter remarks for him. I'm guessing that both Senator Sanders and Secretary Clinton also have people to do that kinda stuff too. (yes, probably both candidates have input and/or are consulted at times, before a tweet is twittered - but, my guess is, 75-90% of their tweets are made by their staff's PR … [Read more...]
Chewbacca Mom and internet haters
June 9, 2016 By
Article on money "made" by the Chewbacca "Mom" First: Good for her! She made us laugh. She made lots (thousands, if not millions) of us laugh as we watched her laugh. Second: How can anyone feel a need to hate or criticize her for getting/making money off of her video? Doesn't make any sense to me. I truly dislike complainers/haters/trolls/bullies. Get a life. Rather than use the Internet to … [Read more...]
