OK, I admit it. I don’t like the holiday season very much. I’m also not highly impressed with modern California suburbia. At the same time, maintaining a humbug attitude is neither healthy nor considerate to others. These bright orange seeds are as sticky as they are shiny. I don’t associate the last few days of [...]

I’m not sure what it is, but I like the colors and I’m impressed to be seeing a magnificent creature like this one outdoors on a cold late-fall afternoon. Incidentally, I asked it about current political issues of the day but it did not reply. Share on Facebook

Here’s a nice action shot from October 1972, before I decided to embrace nonviolence. We’re all quite aware of the fact that the US Corporate Media are adept at covering up bad news they don’t want us to be alarmed about – so it comes as no surprise that the Zombie Uprising that took place [...]

Here’s a nice shot of my paternal grandmother and a kitten. It was taken in Scotland in about 1898. For no extra charge, here’s a similar shot of me, taken in Hollywood in 1965. Share on Facebook

War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts [...]

Carmel Valley is in North County San Diego. Mostly it is a horrid plastic suburb, but there are enough open spaces left to allow air balloons to thrive. I love watching them. See the fire? You’d be surprised how loud it is. Do you want to ride in a balloon? That’s great. Not me. They’re [...]

Chrysler and GM are in US Bankruptcy Court. That’s not a surprise to anybody who has been following the industry during the last few years. Last year I published a video on the car industry, called “A Bridge Loan to Nowhere.” Here I am in my 2004 Chrysler Sebring Limited. I was pleased to read [...]

Nevada is experiencing a dramatic budget crisis. Some have suggested balancing the budget with nuclear waste. Others have noted that there is a similar financial crisis on the Las Vegas strip. Job security is a thing of the past. At the same time, if present trends continue, Nevada’s prison population will increase by 61% by [...]

“Academic Auschwitz” That’s how I used to refer to the USC Law Center. My three years there neatly coincided with Reagan’s first term in office. They were relentlessly miserable. With each passing day I became more class-conscious and more appalled at the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of the American professional demographic. Each day was filled [...]
