I’m a sucker for doggies and doggie stories…

…as most of my readers probably know. I’m particularly fond of happy doggie stories, and here’s an example I thought I’d share with you… ‘Devastated’ by Loss of Best Friend, He Looked for New Dog. The First Photo He Saw Had Him ‘Shaking’ Richard Brower was “devastated” when his best friend, a German... Sign in to see full entry.

And then there was Ben…LXXXIII (Getting dressed…)

'Winter kept us warm’ T.S.E. tells us in his magnificent and prescient poem that I discussed a while ago here – and it may well have kept him warm, but we have to work at it, hard! It’s sunny but dastardly cold in these parts! We haven’t had much snow – none at all lately, and there are but a few... Sign in to see full entry.

Where are they?

One of my oft-repeated assumptions is that the majority of Muslims is moderate, at least in the sense that they do not subscribe to/follow/"believe in” the many violent and supremacist teachings of the Koran, e.g. 5:32 and 5:33, to name but two examples. (Interestingly, there is one sentence in 5:32... Sign in to see full entry.

A Community Service Message…

I received an email from a buddy with the following information, and thought I’d pass it on to y’all. (Yeah, I’m talking like a Southerner ‘cause I wish I was there – it’s mighty chilly up here in the Great White North, even if we haven’t got a fleck of white around here at the moment, though that...

And then there was Ben…LXXXII

I have an assistant – her name is Sam. And while she’s not quite as beautiful as my gorgeous blonde girlfriend who’s still in Sweden, she is very cute, and I’ve heard my LSW mumble, “Oh my God, not another one…” But of course I’ll remain faithful to my girlfriend, though I do hope she’s returning...

Something to ponder…

After examining the voice recordings of AirAsia flight QZ8501 that crashed into the Java Sea, it was discovered the pilots’ last words were “Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar,” a familiar cry uttered by Allah’s warriors when engaged in acts of terrorism… Among the passengers were altogether 50 members of...

Kudos to Tapper...

For expressing his feelings here in a forthright manner… …”World leaders were standing together amidst a procession that included Francois Hollande of France, Angela Merkel of Germany, David Cameron of Great Britain, Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority and Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, along...

Hello, I’m back…

Sooner than I expected! In due course I may relate what transpired on that day I went under the knife, figuratively speaking of course, since few surgeons these days wield knives, I’m sure, or even scalpels! In due course, because I am currently a one-finger keyboard pecker, LOL, and not inclined to... Sign in to see full entry.

I am saying goodbye…

Yes the day has come, or rather it will come tomorrow; ‘goodbye,’ if only for a day or two… I had planned it for a long time, and then I got a call a week or so ago, much earlier than I had expected – and tomorrow morning my LSW shall drive me to the hospital, delivering me there for a bit of...

Twelve people killed at a Paris magazine…

And here’s CNN’s headline: ‘Charlie Hebdo: Satirical magazine is no stranger to controversy’ Ah yes, no wonder you get killed when you’re controversial! The writer, some fellow by the name of Nick Thompson, goes on to say “ The Paris-based weekly satirical magazine became famous for its daring... Sign in to see full entry.
