• Justice or Just-Us Against Them?

      The death of  Justice Antonin Scalia has created another rare void on the Supreme Court, the highest court in the United States. Though the politics of conservative and liberal maneuvering has begun to degrade the entire selection process once again, there are some important issues on the horizon that will need to be address…

  • Soul Food

    When you’re sitting somewhere that can barely be called a home and wondering where your next meal is coming from You need soul food When you’re trying to feed a baby’s spirit and see that they just can’t accept it You need soul food When the children you raised grow up angry without true knowledge, wisdom and understanding…

  • Happy Valentine’s Day

    To all who are celebrating, here is a classic song from one of my favourite comedians – Redd Foxx from the American version of the British show “Steptoe and Son”, singing “All of Me”.  I hope that you will enjoy it and not spend the day immersed in commercialism.       Adiuva me verterem…

  • Who Mourns the Children of Prometheus?

    What will they say when our collective voices have fallen silent What will they say of our accomplishments and of our abysmal failures What will they say of our enduring compassion and capacity to love What will they say of our jealousy, of our avarice, of our ignorance and of our hate What will they say of…

  • I Can’t Be Held Responsible!

      “I reiterate, I cannot be held responsible for those Top Secret emails! I have AFFLUENZA! Just ask Goldman Sachs!” (Just a little political levity everyone so no need to lose a plot!)  

  • Swan Song

    Swan song can be defined as one’s final performance before retirement. In my recent reflective state, I have spent time ruminating over the breadth of my life’s experiences. It occurred to me that if my swan song approached, would I be content with what I have done with my time here.  I am sure that at…

  • No End To Wicked Machinations

    This is a true blog unlike my usual posts in the sense that it is comprised of a daily incident or happening. (Just felt the need to clarify this point) It is also a rant! I was just informed by my mobile phone carrier that they were charging 1.25 now every month as some “CONTRIBUTION”…
