This month’s top ten discussion topics
The Top Ten change on the first of every month!
Mitt Romney
It is fashionable amongst many in the Republican Party to castigate Mitt Romney as the quintessential Republican in Name Only (RINO). It is a very real question in my mind if it isn’t the other way around. First things first! He has announced he is not running for...
Off Their Meds
There’s a healthcare problem here in America, and in other places too. I only focus on America because that is where I live. Driving down a busy street, I often see pedestrians gesticulating wildly and talking to themselves. I always say the same thing, “He’s off his...
Humanity
I complain a lot about human beings and their knuckleheaded opinions, but sometimes I am reminded that people are capable of doing good things when they get motivated in the right direction. Pictured above we have two boys collecting rubber to aid the war effort...
The Unattainable Permanent Majority
The only way to be the Majority is to make some allowances for others in our Great Democracy! Instead, we have two dominant parties. The Demographic lines between the two have hardened into red states and blue states. Both parties exaggerate, obfuscate, and turn every...

The Republican Debate
CNN's Gary Tuchman interviewed a focus group of Republican caucus-goers and Young Republican voters in Iowa after the first debate. First question: “How many thought tonight’s debate was good for the Republican party?” By my count four did not raise their hands. A man...
Atomic Safeguards Do Not Exist
I finally finished the 700-page biography of Robert Oppenheimer, American Prometheus. Oppenheimer led the Manhattan Project that first developed the Atomic Bomb. Afterwards, he was persecuted and spied upon by an ungrateful government because he advocated a thoughtful...
Energy from Thin Air
My wife complains about humidity in the summertime. I generally pretend that I don’t know what she is talking about, but now scientists are working on removing that source of irritation from her environment while creating energy out of thin air at the same time. The...
Happy Anniversary, August 6
On this date in 1945 my brother was born. Also, Robert Oppenheimer, his team of physicists, the American military, and the American government under Harry Truman dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. I watched the movie Oppenheimer recently and am currently...
