The best and highest expression of the snacker’s art includes no utensils or vessels. No knives or spoons or plates or bowls…just the food containers and an appetite. But for some unfathomable reason, the makers of peanut butter (Big Peanut) chose not to package their product in vessels that do not require a utensil, once…

The Morning Report 5/29/26
Good morning kids. Supposedly a “deal” of some sort is in the works or on the verge of being reached with the regime in Tehran to end hostilities. As I have stated repeatedly, I have the greatest respect and admiration for President Trump, but I cannot imagine any agreement that they would ever agree to…
The Morning Rant
I am agnostic on the topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI). As Sefton and I discussed on our recent podcast, AI can be useful, but it certainly isn’t ready for prime time, and it can also be overbearing and immensely irritating. That’s because the hysteria in corporate America about inserting AI into absolutely everything has become…
The Morning Report 5/28/26
Good morning kids. As most or all of you know, I was born and raised in New York City and spent the better part of my life there. Even the bad old times of the 70s and 80s were Halcyon days compared to today with what has happened and what is yet to happen thanks to…
The Morning Report 5/27/26
Good morning kids. Well we certainly had a bit of good news out of Texas last night as RINO sellout John Cornyn was at long last kicked to the curb. Chip Roy was also sent to the showers. While in my view, certainly not as overtly odious a RINO as Cornyn, his record in advancing…
The Morning Rant: The GOPe Must Be Destroyed
The Republican primary for United States Senator in Texas is a snapshot of the tension between the entrenched interests of the corporate branch of the Republican Party, and a younger, aggressive, and unabashedly MAGA-adjacent conservative wing. The corporate Republican party (GOPe) has been the only game in town for many years, and their complacency in…

Good morning kids. And so it seems as if it’s the same old shit vis a vis the situation with Iran. On the one hand we had President Trump and team confident of an imminent resolution and conclusion of hostilities. And yet: Fresh strikes on southern Iran were launched by U.S. military forces early Tuesday morning…
The Morning Report 5/25/26
Good morning kids. Today is of course Memorial Day, but the news does not take time off as is amply demonstrated by the lead story. Maryland man was shot and killed by U.S. Secret Service agents Saturday evening after allegedly opening fire near a White House security checkpoint, triggering a lockdown and a massive federal…
The All-Encompassing Naïveté of The True Believers
Nicholas Kristof is entirely unimportant. His laughable article claiming that Israel uses trained dogs to sexually assault Palestinian prisoners is clownish and will disappear without a trace, except for a small group of rabid Jew-haters who will dredge it up occasionally, even though it has been thoroughly debunked. He is a reliable leftist who has…
The Morning Report 5/22/26
Good morning kids. Well it’s scum on parade once more, so a day ending in “Y” here at the Morning Report. First, I was remiss (though truth be told I never came across any links, believe it or not) in neglecting to note the passing of one of the most singularly reprehensible and destructive individuals to…
