Cunning little critters, aren’t they?

  We’ve met Dr. Grumpy in these pages several times before.  He’s a neurologist who writes – often very amusingly – about his patients and his medical practice. His wife is a school nurse.  She reports that the kids are finding a novel use for a winter warming device. As you know, me and a… Continue reading Cunning little critters, aren’t they?

Car buyers beware! Is this a new dealer trick?

Mr. B describes a most annoying attempt to extort an additional dealer charge when buying a car recently – including what looks like a deliberate attempt to conceal it, and obtain payment by at best underhanded, at worst dishonest means. We haggle a bit, and agree on a price with the business manager. All good. Paperwork… Continue reading Car buyers beware! Is this a new dealer trick?

I’m very glad there’s so much good, clean, funny humor still out there, if you look for it.  One gets very tired of profanity in the… Continue reading The Church Militant – with pirates!

Propaganda debunked, followed by snark. What’s not to like?

Last Friday I mentioned the faux outrage of Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot and Congressional representative Bobby Rush over the fact that police had allegedly sheltered from riots in the latter’s office, and even had the temerity to eat his popcorn and drink his coffee while “doing nothing”.  Their public bitching was soon exposed as a… Continue reading Propaganda debunked, followed by snark.

The Babylon Bee hits one out of the park

I had to laugh out loud when I read this satirical, snarky “report”. Clever Texans have implemented a new strategy to stop Californians from fleeing their terrible state and ruining Texas with the same policies. Sneaking up to Oklahoma in the middle of the night, brave defenders of the Lone Star State installed “Welcome to Texas”… Continue reading The Babylon Bee hits one out of the park
