Mormon Scientologists for Jehovah on the 7th Day
Help me out here. In literature we distinguish fantasy from Science Fiction. The distinguishing variable – is it plausible. Do the premises set forth in the story violate basic principles of physics? Like a two ton dragon flying with a ten foot wing span – probably fantasy. A space ship flying across the galaxies in […]

Giants win Super Bowl – Belichick is outcoached
Son, The Giants won the Super Bowl. Final score – Giants 17, Patriots 14. I tried to engage the Patriots fans at the Boston Globe. Every post I wrote was taken down after an hour. They did not like hearing the honesty of someone from outside their mental geography. I earned this – I told […]

Notes on Belichick and Brady – psychological warfare
Son, The New England Patriots feel a sense of destiny. They are half right. They are destined to lose the big game. Their coaching gaminess is catching up with them. Psychological tricks only work for awhile. Fool me once sort of logic. Is Tom Brady injured or not? Is Belichick stonewalling? Belichick manages every aspect […]

What’s his name, that Black Golfer?
Son, There is some guy playing golf like it is nobody’s business. I am getting old and cannot remember names very well. But I will try to recount some of the legends. Then I’ll tell you about the new guy. That guy Jack could hit a nickle on the green. Gary was a player. Arnie […]

Spoof of Tom Cruise on Scientology
Son, This actor is really great. I love this type of humor – I practice a form of this when writing and often people think I am serious – that is because this type of humor requires that we weave the truth into a paradox of humor. Check it out. the parody video Tom Cruise […]

Meet the Press – Jan 20, 2008, on Obama
Son, Meet the Press has finally come around to having real journalist participating – rather than have Tim Russert looking for sound bites. This is actually a good discussion on the candidacy of Obama. [wp_youtube]wX7kTBqqpr0[/wp_youtube] Dad

Oops! The Giants beat Green Bay
Son, I was all ready for a Super Bowl between super quarterbacks. What a game, Favre and Brady. That would have been fun. But there is another quarterback emerging – and he has a famous name – Manning. Eli Manning has played quality football in the playoffs. He has inspired the confidence of his team […]

MIke Huckabee and Tom Cruise – kindred spirits
Son, Thankfully, you and I do not always agree. You are a Christian man, I live in Missouri. We are similar in that each of us is passionate about our beliefs. Having beliefs and being passionate about them is something that I admire in people. The simple boundary is this, if I want you to […]

Tom Brady versus Favre or Manning
Son, One of the ESPN sports shows posed an interesting question a couple of weeks ago. The question: “Would the Patriots be undefeated if Brett Favre or Peyton Manning had been the quarterback?” The concensus on the ESPN panel was a unanimous ‘NO.’ But I think they made a couple of erroneous assumptions. They assumed […]

New England Patriots – love or hate
Son, The New England Patriots have completed the regular season with a perfect 16 – 0 record. Congratulations. But like many things in life – people have an emotional response. Football is a sport that requires talent on the field and emotion in the stadium. My emotions say, please don’t win it all. The only […]

Republican CNN YouTube Debate – November 28
Son, A new event is happening in America. The CNN YouTube Presidential Debate. I am skeptical but hopeful. I remember the first televised debate between Kennedy and Nixon in 1960. That event ushered in a new technology – we are seeing another. I’ll try to keep up. A question to Giuliani on Immigration – the […]
