Communism is Capitalism
To err is human, to forgive divine. All people commit sins and make mistakes. God forgives them, and people are acting in a godlike (divine) way when they forgive. This saying is from “An Essay on Criticism,” by Alexander Pope. I am human and I make mistakes. I do my best at accepting them once…

Dear Bean Counters
Dear Bean Counters, I hope you continue to do your job well. Whoever you are, you are the masters of apathy. Well done.

From Left Field
Remember May 2016 when Donald Trump won the nomination for the GOP. It was a surprise to all both Left and Right. I will not be surprised if it happens again. A media fiasco that leaves the Left reeling and the GOP in power. Fast forward to May 2020. As an observer with zero affiliation…
