It’s a world of opportunity. Unfortunately, it’s also a world of rationalization. I write best in the mornings. Most days I awaken brimming with ideas. Complications arise and slowly accumulate as the day makes its lonely way to sunset. By mid-afternoon, I’m bailing complications with a straw cowboy hat from a sinking rowboat. Also, time …

World Is Crazy, Wrong Reason
Occasionally I hear someone ask, “Why should marijuana be legal?” It seems obvious the question should be, “Why shouldn’t it?” The status quo is more stupid than the Vietnam War, and it didn’t cost us 58,000-and-something lives. It definitely cost us 58,000-and-something happy lives. It’s equally as stupid as Prohibition, and marijuana, as President Obama …
The Stupor Bowl
God. I’m glad I’ve got stuff to do. It’s Super Bowl Sunday. The game doesn’t begin till sometime long after 6:30, which is when it allegedly starts on TV, which isn’t the same as when the game starts. The game will take an abnormally long time, but it’s a drag race compared to the pregame …

Everybody’s Got a Skew
Lots of times I read posts on social media that make me laugh. Everybody’s talking about Chris Christie. How come the MEDIA isn’t investigating Benghazi? Oh, you mean, like, the last 16 months. Personally, I think I get my conservatism from reading Facebook and my liberalism from my own mind, but that, in itself, is …
The Daze Ahead
I’m optimistic about the coming year, particularly since it just has to be better than the one just completed. People are going to smoke marijuana, and lots more aren’t going to mind it. It’s going to be decriminalized in some places, medicinalized in others and legalized in a few more. It is an ongoing process, …
The Height of Stupidity
Could we talk about … weed?Look, it can be bad for you. I’ve known people who have smoked entirely too much marijuana. I’ve known people who have drunk entirely too much liquor. (Drinking too much beer is a little harder, but it happens.)The alcoholics were much worse off.At this point, the argument sometimes morphs into …
