The Grand Poobah

The Grand Poobah Trump was supposed to be arrested this week and his minions are mad. Unhappy with the law, a few of them took to the streets crying and screaming like babies. Grand Poobah Slagheap Like in the carton show, the Flintstones, Fred and Barney were members of a secret society lodge where they followed the buffoon named Grand Poobah. The leader, Sam Slagheap, “The Exaulted Grand Poobah” led The Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes. But, unlike fiction, and just as inane, are those following the Grand Poobah Trump. Grand Poobahs are haughty characters who take titles like Lord and Commander. It is a mocking title for someone with lots of self-importance and who exhibits an inflated sense of…

Diversity – Equity – Inclusion

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are the new principles to attack, to blame, to ban, and to criminalize. DEI is to be feared and hated. It is now to be blamed for a recent California bank closing as stated by billionaire and The Home Depot co-founder, Bernie Marcus. He stated, “These banks are badly run because everybody is focused on diversity and all the woke issues.” Well, if that doesn’t make you queasy! How does he think he would have risen to the top as a Jewish man from New Jersey if there was not diversity, equity, and inclusion? What if Jewish persons had been blocked from the running for such positions? People like him have forgotten their cultural roots,…

Springing In

As we spring ahead this week, we find that sometimes it is refreshing to get back to basics. In today’s world, we are constantly sensing our environment. The first question in life that we tend to ask ourselves seems to be “Am I safe?” Other questions follow such as, “Am I healthy and happy?” Nestled between winter and summer, Spring is an opportunity for renewal and a time to answer those questions. It’s a time to think things through and to shake off the winter. It’s a perfect time to look at our relationships with people and with the earth. Author Harville Hendrix has stated that, “We are born in relationship. We are wounded in relationship. And we are healed…

Welcome to the Not So Sunny State

I know you must be tired of hearing about Florida but please indulge us one more time. It keeps coming in Florida, like a sewer pipe of political and legislative garbage. It’s being called the State of Ron DeFascist, Adolph DeSantis, mini-Russia, mixed with a Heil DeSantis tone, and a pledge to follow. Oh, Florida, the Sunshine State ain’t so sunny for some these days. Florida, the Sunshine State, where recent legislation has called for the disbanding of the Democratic Party. Yes, disbanding the Party and forcing Dems to move into a No Party Affiliation status. If that isn’t scary enough, Florida Senate Bill 254, introduced last Friday, would grant the courts emergency custody of children who receive gender-affirming care.…

Believe It or Not

If you were one of the 113 million people who watched the Super Bowl on Sunday, you probably saw the “He Gets Us” ads that aired twice during the show, wedged between your chips and dip and the beer and new car ads. What an apt time to show these Christian ads as this Super Bowl was the third most-watched television program of all time. The conservative, pro-life Christian group, Servant Foundation, based in Kansas, thought it was worth $20 million to run the two ads recasting Jesus in a contemporary light. But, many conservative Christians, not surprisingly, are angry because they say it doesn’t carry their message nearly as far as they would like it to. The Servant Foundation,…

Crrrrrazy……

Do the names Marjorie Taylor Green, Rick Scott, and George Santos stress you out? Does the saying, “You can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig,” make you laugh and cringe at the same time? Did Mitt Romney’s comments to George Santos at this week’s State of the Union, “You don’t belong here,” make you think that Romney for a second was finally “Woke?” Does the sight of Sarah Huckabee Sanders make you gag? Doesn’t she make drag queens look beautiful? Doesn’t this all make you want to look up the definition of crazy? We did it for you = unsound mind, mentally unbalanced, deranged, psychopathic, insane. There you have it, welcome to the new State…

Until The Paperwork Is Done…

Okay, we think that it is time that we all check our closets, file cabinets, attics, basements, and garages. If you have lived anywhere near Washington, DC, or where Presidents or VP’s may have vacationed, or if you live anywhere in the US, you need to be on the alert. You, too, may be holding secret or confidential documents in your possession. And you, too, could be the subject of investigation by the Justice Department, FBI, or the National Archives. We know that you have paperwork in your drawers that has not been touched in years. Do they relate back to the Clinton or Bush years? Only you would know. Is that receipt from the dry cleaner from 1986 confidential?…

Being Woke

We were sitting in a Sarasota NAACP meeting last week when we were informed that it had just been announced that the Advanced Placement course in African American studies was barred in Florida public schools by Ron DeSantis. The letter banning the elective AP course did not cite which law the course violated or what curriculum was objectionable. Yet, it prohibits instruction that could make students feel responsible or guilty for the past actions of others. In following with his ongoing racist rant, DeSantis, in his lust for repression, also took on the NHL for their diversity job fair and framed their efforts to bring a more diverse workforce to the NHL as a “woke conceit.” These actions follow the…

Dangerous Culture Replacement

Some may recall that from 1956 to 1965, the State of Florida underwent a government-led witch hunt to root out civil rights activists, gays, and supposedly Communists from State institutions. The Johns Committee purge flushed out hundreds of students and teachers throughout the State and accused the NAACP of Communist activities. As history begins to repeat itself, we see a future of purging as a tactic being used in the deep Red States in the name of Christianity. Religion has a way of creeping in and creeping in between. Religion can be a good thing but it can also be disturbing. Maggie grew up Catholic and recalls the priests at Sunday mass yelling at parishioners and telling them what sinners…

Truth or Fiction?

As we have witnessed over the last few days, a new fringe political party has emerged in this country. It could be called the CHUMP Party. Members of the Chump Party are required to be foolish and easily deceived. Those looking to join the party who are not lucky enough to own a Congressional seat, like George Santos, may join at various levels including Sucker, Sap, Gullible and Gaslighter. Beware, the dues are quite high to support the enormous legal fees members may encounter. The Chump Party values reflect the ethical theory of consequentialism. According to this theory, the end justifies the meansin all circumstances. In other words, it is not morally necessary to recognize others and it is acceptable…
