TRAGEDY

The current state of affairs is tragic,

all due to this dictator.

The moron is ruining our Nation.

My-oh-my.

What a damn shame.

GENERATION . . . . GAP!

Of course there's a generation gap.  
Why wouldn't there be?! 
Especially in 2018 when technology has advanced so fast 
in the past 30 years and has gone why beyond our small intellects to grasp.

I was raised in a much different world than the kids in the digital age today.  I am classified as an "OF" -- an Old Fart. I am proud of that title. I earned it. 

Having said that, my experiences and journey are obvious much different than of those say, 40 and younger.  

For example, I thoroughly enjoyed these 3 recent films. I asked several twenty-somethings here in Los Angeles, and all of them said they did not like any of the movies!  After I gasped and restrained my surprise, a bit, I asked them.  

The main theme of all the movies is about struggle.  They did not have to go through the challenges of freedom that I had to put up with in my youth, including the AIDS crisis.  They couldn't relate. 

Irritated with them?  Mad at them?  No, though a bit disappointed, as I would like for them to revel in the joy that watching these films brought me.  

More though, I am very happy that people of my generation have paved an easier road for today's generation.

FIGHT!

YOUTH LEAD THE WAY!

Thank heaven the 60s revolution has returned . . . 

It takes a dumb president to galvanize us.

It was Nixon back then; it's Trump today

VOTE  THESE  SONSOFBITCHES  OUT!

THE POST

Kudos to Streep, Hanks, and Spielberg 

for bringing this brilliant woman to light!

I worked at The Post and thoroughly enjoyed

my conversations with this iconic woman

KATHARINE GRAHAM

ASSHOLE

There's no other word to 

describe POTUS --

the "man" 

(and I use that word in the lowest sense of its meaning)

in the White House

He's a liar, narcissist, bully, uncultured, no class,

hypocrite, greedy, unintelligent, thief, ignorant, 

unconscientious, unempathetic, uncourageous,

racist, phony, fascist, bigot, sexual harasser, 

insensitive . . .  

. . . everything I was raised against!

The man is despicable and pathetic.

Here's hoping he goes down like Nixon,

with shame and disgrace

SMART COOKIE

MEMORIES MEMOIR!

PUTTING FINISHING TOUCHES 

ON MEMOIR!

TERMINALLY LUCY

Over sixty years since its inception,

it is shown the world over, reigning

 as the best sitcom ever!

With a genius of an ensemble cast and 

wondrous scripts with thick plots, 

twists and turns, and continual frivolity 

and laughter, the sitcom has proven time

and time again its sustaining strength.

No matter how many times I have watched

a particular episode, it holds my attention completely,

providing total escapism, belly laughs, and 

satisfies my appetite for sheer entertainment. 

Like Desi Arnaz once said:

"I Love Lucy was never just a title."

I love Lucy, Ricky, Fred, and Ethel -- 

and even little Ricky and Mrs. Trumbull.

Thank you for years of joy.

No show yesterday or today compares

with this Top Rate series

Thank you Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, 

Vivian Vance, and William Frawley
