Dear Battleaxe, I recently had a cough and bought some cough drops. The little wrappers had various messages inside:“A pep talk in every dropâ€,  “Put a little strut in it†and “Let’s hear your battle cry.†I guess some marketing person thought it was clever. What do you think? Dear Eucalyptus Breath, It might be […]
I miss my dog Chance—big time. She was my love. She came to me through my sister Marty whose dog had puppies. My partner at the time, and I, wanted a girl so we had no choice but to take the runt of the litter. My sister thought Chance was born dead, so she tenderly […]
My little brother, Jim, once won a blue ribbon at a summer science fair. He played a pretaped screech of the opening of our old refrigerator door causing Franklin, his pet hamster to do double time on his hamster wheel, thinking some iceberg lettuce was coming his way. Jim proved Pavlov right, and inadvertently predicted […]
My fellow Homies, we came out in droves and re-elected Obama. Let’s not stop here. We have the power to change our lives for the better, for our children, for our students, for our ex-girlfriends. We are many in numbers. Let’s continue to go forth, kick ass and demand justice and equality for all. We […]
Experienced Dia de los Muertos in Boyle Heights the other night. I will confess right here and now, this was my first time. Don’t judge. Me and my homegirl Sunny Bak, walked the long ass stretch of First Street from State near where we parked, to Anderson, where the oldest Los Angeles celebration of Day […]
Clinton/Vaid Household Conspiracy Theory #1422, 720am, 10.19.12: That the old CIA dudes from the Bush/Cheney years, the ones Pres Obama has never replaced, are behind the anti-Muslim video which riled everyone up enough to attack the US embassy in Benghazi. [sidebar: the Grand Opposition Party blocked increased embassy security funds] The old CIA ops then […]
If Sarah Palin asks again, I’m doing pretty good with “that hopey changey thingâ€. I watched the Democratic Convention on CSPAN with USOpen breaks, except on opening night of football and that night there was some partisan bickering for clicker dominance. The Dems threw a good convention. After the White Party the GOP threw in […]
Really I don’t think I could have handled four nights of the GOP convention in Tampa. Thank goodness I was able to flip between tennis and the convention: The USOpen, The USClosed, US open, US closed. It was like being in some horrible comedy club – Tampa’s Yuck Yuck [as in icky] Comedy Cellar. The […]
When I turned 50 in 2009, it really was no big deal. All my parts still worked and I wasn’t in need of stool softeners. Ok—maybe half a tab. But I looked cool when I danced…that’s if you closed one eye and squinted. So it’s now 2012 and I must say, this is a big […]
There seems to be a finite amount of freedom to go around. They gave some to the gays, so they’ve had to cut some from another group. Sadly they’ve had to take some from the ladies. Women are the new gays. The takebacks include defunding Planned Parenthood, defunding contraceptives, de-personhooding women and other schemes to […]
Hang on, it's going to be a wild ride!
