Great (?) White North
My wife and I have discussed moving to Canada should we and the rest of the sane people in this nation be unable to wrest control of the country back from the madman in charge today. However, I have second thoughts when I see Canadian news articles like this …

Problem?
Space Farce
I was planning on a contemplative gem of a blog post today about the meaning of life and the essence of our very existence, but Trump did it to me once again, dangling a shiny object in front of me as a distraction. The shiny object this time …
Yep, for just 9 billion dollars, you too can have a Space Force. If you don’t have that much, at least you can vote for Trump’s Space Force logo. Take a look at the candidates …
And Under the Trump Bus Goes Don Jr.
I saw this tweet in real time this morning. I couldn’t quite believe what I was reading.
I had no reply to tweet because I was not prepared for Trump Sr. throwing his son under the bus the way he did. Trump Sr. appears to use the “I didn’t do it, but my son did” defense.
I can only speculate on the conversation this tweet generated.
Jr: Oh father, I feel quite uncomfortable with my head resting under the bus tire.
Sr: Don’t worry. They’ll provide you a pillow in prison.
Stupidnova
When a star explodes, it is called a supernova and it is magnificent.
Editor’s Note: This is a conceptualization only. No actual stars were destroyed in the making of this blog post.
However, Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was recently destroyed. Take a look …

Top 5 Trumpcabulary Words
Not much good has come of Donald Trump being in the White House. One of the few benefits has been the highlighting of some heretofore overlooked words in our vernacular. In this blog post, I will reveal the Top 5 Trumpcabulary Words and their meanings.
None of these words has come from Trump himself. His vocabulary is as limited as “likes” for my blog posts. One of Trump’s favorite “big boy” words he uses frequently is reciprocal, which of course refers to the number of calories in a specific recipe.
But the more interesting words that have wormed their way into common parlance have not come from Trump, but from others. So without further ado, here are the Top 5 Trumpcabulary Words and their definitions so that you can impress your friends with your grasp of today’s hot Trumpish jargon.

We are appreciative of our intrepid Flies On Washington Walls who stowed away on Air Force One so they could sit in on the Trump-Putin Summit.
3 Favorite Words
Today I have 3 favorite words. Being a Friday, the easy guess would be “It’s the weekend.” Nope, that’s not it. I’ll play the part of Vanna White here and display the letters T and B in the puzzle.

The Horrors of War
Prelude to War
I stumbled out of bed early yesterday and looked for my weapon. Yes, I was headed to war. If you don’t know what I am talking about, please read about the Civil War II. But I knew there would be nothing civil about it. I grabbed some grub, printed my map and headed for the battlefield with my weapon of choice …
Happiness Is – Edition #1
In the midst of all this political rancor and contention, I feel the need to spread some good news in the world. In the spirit of good vibrations and karma, I am pleased to start what should be a weekly series called Happiness Is as part of this blog. I will focus on something positive that makes me, and possibly you but I am mostly concerned with me, happy. So without further ado, I am pleased to offer up the first edition of Happiness Is.
For me, Happiness Is a big bowl of these …
Reunite & ICE
We had a genuine, official MoveOn Families Belong Together rally in our sleepy little Chicago suburb today. Can you guess which sign I made?
If you chose the crappy looking one on the right that you thought may have taken me 5 minutes to make, award yourself 10 points. But then deduct 5 points because it really took me only 3 minutes.
The rally was so close to our house that we could have walked. It was bloody hot and humid today, so we drove. However, there were many more people at the rally than expected, and I had to park so far away that it may have been closer walking from home.
People were on every corner of a major intersection in our town holding their colorfully decorated and clever, or crappy in my case, signs. I think this was my favorite sign, although not from our rally.
This Road Trip Feels Different
I am heading back on the road today, this time for business. As I pack, this trip feels different. I will no longer be travelling through the “land of the free and home of the brave” according to the Star-Spangled Banner. We now keep migrant children in cages, and Trump supporters fear them. Woody Guthrie wrote “This land is your land, this land is my land,” but that no longer applies. Thanks to the Trump Muslim ban being upheld by the Supreme Court, this land is not a land for Muslims any longer.
Will I do anything different this trip?
