Cheaters Win



Kids are taught from an early age that cheaters never win. Seems like a good idea. We don't want to end up in some Mad Max world. We send them to Sunday school to learn morals and we teach them manners from Emily Post, at least we once did.

The fact is cheaters do win. If you don't get caught copying off the smart kid's test, you'll pass the exam. If the highway patrol can't outsmart your radar detector, you'll get to your destination earlier. 

Show me the fellow with bone spurs who lies shamelessly, refuses to pay his bills, cheats on his taxes and wives and sells worthless trinkets to suckers, and I'll show you an American success story.

Are you listening James Comey, Merrick Garland, Mitch McConnell, Nikki Haley, George W. Bush, Kellyanne Conway? Oh, the list goes on and on.

I always rooted for the villain when I went to wrestling matches as a kid. They cheated. They won.

Heaven help us all.

Do You Smell Something Burning?





Well, sir, after a short visit "home" I have to say that I'm thrilled to be living in merry old England. Oh, I miss some weather and some friends. I moved here for romance, not to avoid politics. It breaks my heart to see the USA torn in half. Of course I follow the news here as best I can. The distance really blurs the hate and blunts the fear, though.

While I don't expect peace to have broken out by my next visit, at least this election will be behind us. I wish the best for the old home team.

Give us peace on earth and end this dreadful, dreadful war.
