Unthinkable

I said years ago that the best possible strategy for anti-gun people is to shoot and kill a bunch of innocent victims.  Because every time there’s another highly-publicized shooting, the Left uses it as an example of why they believe we need more gun control.  In fact, the only people

May the Best Man Win

Now that Women’s History Month is behind us, it’s time for me to say something.  I would have said something sooner, but I didn’t want to distract us from celebrating women’s history.  But now that the month is over, and we’re back to ignoring the accomplishments of women like we

A Good Offense

As I mentioned last week, it won’t be long before the company I work for attempts to make me use someone’s personal pronouns and preferred name.  It’s not really a question of if.  It’s a question of when. And I don’t really believe they’re going to grant me a medical

Roshambo Rights

I think personal pronouns are ridiculous.  In fact, I think they’re so ridiculous that I have a physical reaction every time I merely think about the idea.  My blood pressure rises and so does my pulse rate.  And, for someone like me who has heart issues, either or both of

Slap, Punch, Kick

I’ve had a number of people ask me how I felt after learning that our son is a dysphoric man.  That’s a good question. My wife asked me the other day, “what’s worse than a slap in the face?”  I quickly replied with, “a punch in the nose”.  But I

Disordered

In the last six weeks, I’ve probably thought about the “gender issue” more than anyone else on the planet.  I still can’t make any sense out of it. I want to start out by saying that there are people born with physical birth defects who may have both male and

About a Boy – Part II

This is part 2. If you haven’t listened to or read part 1, I strongly recommend you do that first. The first time I noticed something might be up was when my son texted me about changing phone plans.  He’d been on our family plan forever and once he got

About a Boy

After our son was born just over 31 years ago, we began passing milestone after milestone.  For example, one milestone was when he first realized it was himself in the mirror, another was when he became smarter than a cat and then when he became smarter than a dog. After

The Tolerance of Tolerance

Back in the early 90’s I was working as an engineer for a telecom equipment manufacturer.  One day, I came to work and found that I had a new boss.  The new guy was hired to fill a position I didn’t even know existed.  These days HR would frown upon

Loss Leader

There’s a line I won’t cross.  That line is ninety-nine cents.  That’s the amount I’m willing to pay for a two-liter bottle of soda, pop, coke or whatever you call a soft drink wherever you live. Anything more than a dollar and I don’t feel I’m getting enough enjoyment from
