A Pox on Both Your Houses

A POX ON BOTH YOUR HOUSES

Many, many years ago when I was the editorial advisor for my college’s student newspaper, I had the opportunity to interview Mark Perrineau.  He had just played Mercutio in Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Dane’s movie Romeo and Juliet.  Along with another actor from the movie whose name escapes me and with one of my students, we four gentlemen from Verona spent an hour talking.  We spoke in a spacious enclosed porch at a villa about the movie, acting in general, the imminent Hollywood strike...

Do not believe every spirit.

DO NOT BELIEVE EVERY SPIRIT

The World Population Clock estimates that there are almost 8.2 billion souls on Earth.  No doubt, it uses a simple algorithm weighing births against deaths and showing a net gain over time.  But is that the end of it?  Are things as simple as that?  In his famous work, Paradise Lost, poet John Milton (1608-1614) wrote: Of course, just because the famous muse penned this doesn’t mean that it is true.  Yet, each of the two testaments in the Bible seems to suggest that there was more than...

Why I'm voting for Kamala Harris

WHY I’M VOTING FOR KAMALA HARRIS

Given the choice this year between voting for Donald Trump or Kamala Harris, I have decided to vote for Vice-President Harris, rather than not vote at all or spoil my ballot.  No doubt, some of my evangelical brethren will cast me as an apostate or consign me to the outer darkness.  As it is, they are siding with a narcissist who is a convicted sex offender, whose only association with Scripture seems to be selling Bibles at exorbitant prices to pay for...

PUTIN’S DOGS

СОБАКИ ПУТИНА There is an old saying that the best thing about a man is his dogs. Unlike cats, dogs take the responsibility and do the heavy lifting when it comes to bonding with a person. They seek approval from people. Dogs will perform hilarious and sometimes humiliating tricks for a treat. Try getting a cat to perform. I’ve always gotten along with dog owners. I find that regardless of the breed, dog owners are most often friendly and it...

A former president feels the heat

A FORMER PRESIDENT FEELS THE HEAT

The news so far this week (ending October 28, 2023) is not good for Donald J. Trump.  In the past several days, three attorneys have entered into plea bargain agreements with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in the Georgia Election Racketeering Investigation.  The first is Sidney Powell, who Trump announced shortly after the election of 2020[1] was representing him. However, Mr. Trump is now stating that he never, in fact, hired her.  The second attorney who entered a plea was Kenneth Chesebro who worked as an outside advisor for...

Black Swan Sighted!

WARNING! BLACK SWAN SIGHTED

If you Google the term “black swan,” you’ll likely be overwhelmed with references to a movie starring Natalie Portman. But you must keep scrolling. Those of you who have taken a course in statistics are familiar with the term “black swan,” because one black swan is all you need to overturn (falsify) the hypothesis that all swans in nature are white. This notion that all swans are white cannot be proven because one cannot observe all swans. Black swans are...
