Doritos v. COVID

Just about every year, I get summoned for jury duty.  The way they do it here is they make you report to the “Hall of Justice” along with the other Super Friends…OK, I made up the part about the Super Friends.  But it really is called the “Hall of Justice”.

Alien Logic

Have you ever watched the TV show called “Ancient Aliens”?  Contrary to what you might infer from the title, it’s not a show about really old illegal aliens.  It’s a show about the “nanoo-nanoo” type of aliens.  If you’ve missed that one, then maybe you’ve seen an episode or two

Last May, an 18-year-old white guy walked into a supermarket in a primarily black neighborhood of Buffalo, New York, and opened fire.  Within minutes the mainstream media and Liberal social media everywhere were saying this was a case of white supremacy.  They were probably right.  The assailant (I hate saying

They the People

Shortly after I moved to California, about a dozen years ago, I was driving on one of the megahighways out here and I had the bejeezus scared out me.  I was doing about 75 on a road with eight lanes going in each direction when a couple of motorcycles zoomed

The Biden Touch

Remember the story of King Midas from Greek mythology?  To make a long story short, Midas was rewarded for being a nice guy and was granted a single wish.  His wish was that everything he touch turns to gold.  Thus, the term “the Midas touch”.  Midas found out quickly that
