Doping For Dollars & Cows Back Home

Must admit I was a big fan of Lance. Stayed true to Alberto until I don’t want to talk about it. Still think the Tainted Burrito Incident should be a Lifetime movie. I come from an era, well, my idea of performance-enhancing drugs was pasta carbonara and Foster’s Lager. No telling how fast I might’ve…

Knights Of The Golden Circle Are Still With Us

Fictions are necessary for the people, and the Truth becomes deadly to those who are not strong enough to contemplate it in all its brilliance.

No One F*cks With Biden

Hey, the same guy who thought that the 9/11 attack was a 7-Eleven attack. [Donald]’s talkin’ about dementia? All I can say to the American people is watch me, is see what I’ve done, is see what I’m gonna do. Look at me. Compare our physical and mental acuity. I’m happy to have that comparison….

Original Gangsters Of Running (Dr. Jack Scaff)

“Basically, everything I said as a zealot in 1970 is now commonplace.” When Donna Scaff shared the news, I was about to take a nap. Couldn’t sleep.

Poetry Festival (Sharon Doubiago)

“Words are the cars that drive things up.” I am sitting directly across the room from Sharon Doubiago. Blonde. Out the window rolling I can see sparkling Pacific Ocean waves. Blue. I sing a silent secret prayer to a giggling God for my eyes. Clear. So, anyway, I was at this event – late late…
