Met Life’s dropping the iconic image of Snoopy is only the beginning of the story. The whole blimp industry is on the brink of collapse because of that little remote-controlled device, the drone. Let’s face it, technology will soon claim another victim in the same way it has devastated the newspaper industry and book stores. One pilot––not the Red Baron––estimates it costs about $20 million dollars for Met Life to run just one blimp for the year. The insurance company has t

The election is rigged. Everyone’s against me. The media is after me, Hillary is nasty to me. The Republican Party is out to get me. Well, that part is true. However, the Republicans brought Trumpanoia on themselves. They’ve been a sick party since the beginning of the Reagan years and most intensely since 2008 when a black man was elected to the White House.

Fear of a civil war, anger over various pro-slavery laws and hate of that “peculiar institution.” Today, ironically, the party is collapsing because of those emotions, only within a modern context. Fear of terrorism, anger at social advances ––gay marriage, freedom of choice, racial equality, to name a few––and irrational hatred of t

The choice in November is clear. Let’s say it’s true that Bill Clinton was a serial groper, sexual predator, adulterer and hummerphile president. Do we want to send another one to the White House in the form of Il Douchebag? And let’s say that it’s true what the deplorables claim, that Hillary hates women. Trump hates women, too, because he’s afraid of them, so those two emotions neutralize each other. And let’s say it’s also true that Il Douchebag is a liar and Hillary is a
