The Continued Slobification of American Culture

I would like to give a shoutout to Tim Gunn of Project Runway for that apt term “slobification”. I remember a few years ago Gunn discussing how poorly Americans dress. The situation has gotten progressively worse. Whether it is black women wearing bonnets in public, or everyone else leaving the house in pajamas. Or wearing […]

I admit I have never seen the hit Broadway play of this incredible Founding Father. I was browsing my local library when I came across Ron Chernow’s biography of Alexander Hamilton. It definitely did not disappoint. I knew about his poverty-stricken childhood on the island of St. Croix. However, I never realized the impact Hamilton […]

Let’s face it, we have a culture that denigrates the elderly woman. The perfect example of this is Pamela Anderson. For those who don’t know her, Anderson was the sex kitten of the 1990s. After the death of her long time makeup artist, Anderson has chosen to go makeup free. You would have thought this […]

It will be 3 months since the California wildfires. After looking at the chaos, and this recent news report, I couldn’t help but think about Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand’s seminal novel.

I was in the process of reading Lights Out: Pride, Delusion, and the Fall of General Electric by Thomas Gryta and Ted Mann when The Wall Street Journal reported that General Electric(GE) was separating into three businesses: Aviation, Healthcare, and Power. Thus ending the conglomerate status of GE. Full disclosure, I worked as a contractor […]

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone: I have come to the unfortunate conclusion I will have to disable my commenting function. I have been bombarded with spam! Between cooking our Thanksgiving meal, and erasing over 1000 spam comments, I had no other option but to remove visitor’s ability to comment. I always look forward to viewing responses to […]

We live in a time when there are endless documentaries and books about serial killers and other psychopaths. Do we really need another documentary or about Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy? I prefer biographies of individuals who contributed to the advancement of civilization. I want to direct your attention to one of my favorite renaissance […]

I will not beat around the bush.  2020 was a horrible year, and I am glad it has ended.  2020 laid bare the destructiveness of an out-of-control government, and a degraded culture.  Point blank, we are in serious trouble.  My biggest concern was for my mother who had a serious health crisis.  I wanted to […]
