Dennis Hastert deserves his punishment and a whole lot more

Dennis Hastert deserves his punishment and a whole lot more
Dennis Hastert got 15 months in prison for taking money out of his own bank account.  That’s a bit of an oversimplification, but, on the surface, the punishment seems to fit the crime. Some things however, are not quite what they seem. Hastert, former Republican Speaker of the House is also, according to Judge Thomas... Read more »

Lenny Tie Folder has fallen and he can't get up

Lenny Tie Folder has fallen and he can't get up
Lenny Tie Folder is either an avid reader or just a guy with too much time on his hands.  I’m inclined to suspect the latter. Mr. Tie Folder was someone I knew from a place of employment that has long since disappeared.  There were thousands of faces and his was just one of them.  We... Read more »

Vietnam was Beautiful From the Air

Vietnam was Beautiful From the Air
The following was sent to me by my friend, Isaac.  It is the prologue to a book that he has either written or is thinking about writing.  I don’t know if it will be purely fictional or based on real events.  I think that Vietnam was Beautiful From the Air is the working title, but... Read more »

Donald Trump's crazy talk should be a reality check for Jews

Donald Trump's crazy talk should be a reality check for Jews
Donald Trump proposed banning Muslims from entering the United States.  You’ve heard about it, I know you have.  You may even have had that very same thought-if only for the most fleeting of moments. I don’t get the brouhaha.  It’s not that I don’t think the idea is reprehensible, I do.  I also confess to... Read more »

Laquan McDonald is just another brick in Chicago's wall of silence
There’s not a lot to be said about the shooting death of Laquan McDonald more than 13 months ago.  He was walking away from police when he was first shot and knocked to the ground.  His prone body was riddled with at least 15 more bullets. The police initially said that he broke a window... Read more »

Manifesto de Arjay

Manifesto de Arjay
From Hitler’s Mein Kampf to the Unabomber  and Dylann Roof , everybody’s got a manifesto .  Some are rants against technology, black people or women, while others are a more generalized collection of “great thoughts.” In the latter category, I am planning to add my own thoughts, great or otherwise in a manifesto tentatively entitled,...

The more I drink, the more I drink (From Blake Shelton's The More I Drink)

I’ve never been a big drinker, although I do a make a stab at it from time to time. Let’s face it, we all like to party a bit and no one really trusts a teetotaler. Serious drinking, though is an endeavor. It takes determination, stamina and commitment. You could say it takes a village.... Read more »
