By John Matonich This is the time of year when the temps are cold and the daylight is short. I really don’t mind. My bride and I enjoy the evening time together with a fire in the fireplace and something good on the boob tube. We usually can find something we both would like … [Read more...]
Come Heller high water … the State of the Union edition
Come Heller high water … I am not calling Trump a fascist. I am not calling him a dictator (yet). I really am not. Not kidding. And I’m certainly not calling him an Italian. But I am saying his pauses, poses and expressions reminded me (a lifelong WWII buff) a bit of … [Read more...]
Come Heller high water … the Pinocchio edition
Come Heller high water … Trump says he’ll testify under oath with Robert Mueller. Show of hands: If he does, will he tell the truth? Anybody? Hello? Well, when you lie for a living (2,000 documented whoppers since he took office), I guess it’d be surprising if anyone … [Read more...]
Modern Day Hell: The saga of the socks
So I bought some socks. Croft & Barrow socks, to be specific. A 4-pack, to be even more specific. Here's what one pair looks like. Pretty snazzy, eh? But that's what they looked like after I got them unwrapped, detagged, unstickered and unclipped. Doing all of that … [Read more...]
The married guy takes on The Bachelor
“The Bachelor” is on again, which is wonderful. No, I don’t “like” the show. I’m a guy. If I liked the show I’d have to turn in my man card. But I do really, really, really like messing with the lovely yet formidable Marcia, a lifelong feminist who, oddly enough, positively loves … [Read more...]
Da situation as I survey it: Slow down, ya move too fast
By John Matonich I was thinking the other day how our society has become so entrenched in things immediate. It is tax season so the ads covering TV are on the advances you can receive after you file your taxes. Even though it usually only takes a couple of weeks to receive a … [Read more...]
Come Heller high water … the only mostly about you-know-who edition
Come Heller high water … Eric Trump said his father isn’t a racist because he only sees one color: green. I guess that means the only immigrants getting into the country from now on are going to be leprechauns. (Do they even have leprechauns in Norway?) The odd thing is, … [Read more...]
Auchtoon: Pick a side, any side when it comes to entertainment
Toon & text by John Auchter Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner used to do a routine called "The 2000 Year Old Man." In it, Reiner was a reporter interviewing Brooks, a man from ancient times. It was largely adlibbed with the reporter deftly setting the premise with genuinely … [Read more...]
Surveyin da Situation: Things you’ll never hear a Yooper guy say
A friend of mine sent me a little humor the other day. I always appreciate a good smile or better yet, an outright laugh. I typically don’t care for humor at someone else’s expense, but this was kind of funny. They were one-liners poking a little fun at folks from the south, but … [Read more...]
Come Heller high water … the ‘He called them what?’ edition
Come Heller high water … Shitholes? He called Haiti, El Salvador and assorted African nations “shitholes”? And you thought he couldn’t sink any lower. Wow. Just wow. It’s like he’s trying to prove Michael Wolff’s point in the book that he’s mentally and … [Read more...]
