Take Two — Did The Scammers Read Blog Post 1,210?

No. 1,213

Non-candidate Joe Biden Comes to Town and Sounds Like a Candidate.

Joe Biden was in Pittsburgh for Labor Day. He made a speech in which he did his imitation of a steel worker.

Trump’s Art of the Deal Tells a Good Story.

No. 1,211 He talks about his 1989 book, “Art of the Deal” so much that I decided that I had to read it.  Donald  can be forgiven for saying that it is the second best book ever written, second to the Bible.  Many authors probably think that about their own books, but few are as […]

Why Are Scammers Usually So Poor At Proofreading?

No. 1,210

A Pox on You, Alex Rios and Kelvin Herrera!

No. 1,209 Yes, there was a chicken pox outbreak in the Kansas City Royals clubhouse.  Not shingles, but adult chicken pox. It seems that the two Latin players were never exposed to the virus, because it doesn’t thrive in the tropics.  And they weren’t vaccinated because such vaccinations are not always given in the tropics.

Trump’s Soliloquy

No. 1,205 Watching Donald Trump on TV is like eating a bag of chips.  You know that its not good for you, but you can’t stop. Tonight he made a speech in Iowa which was carried live in part on three news networks.  He rambled through long self-congratulatory stories. It was entertaining, even though baffling […]

Sunday Rumination on the Week’s News

Complete this thought: “Life is short… . .”

Ashley Madison has it half right. Life really is short and it gets shorter all the time. We know it, but we don’t really believe it, at least most of the time. It’s contrary to our nature.
