OK! I took my rest!! My website manager, Bahman (the Brave), threatened to become my ghost writer, and I couldn\’t let that happen! He is far too busy working on his next degree and being a Soccer Dad! Besides, I was afraid that my readers might like his writing more than mine!
- How is it — that after blowing up their own people for a-couple-of-years that ISIS has developed the temerity to take on the Russians? The French I can understand — as they won\’t do much of anything in the way of retaliation: they have a history of that.
Doesn\’t make much sense though, does it? Unless ISIS\’ only purpose was to whip up terrorist fervor in Muslim radicals around the world…the ISIS we saw decapitating innocents were NOT suiciders.

- And speaking of money: pundits and columnists are finally getting on board with me RE: the bullet train vs. a comprehensive water plan and water infrastructure for California. I sent George Skelton a copy of my anti-bullet train poem. He said it was \”good.\”
- Today\’s (11/22) \”Prickly City\” political comic strip suggested that Bill Maher has no soul. I believe Bill does have a soul…just that he\’s not as smart as he thinks he is…
