George Herbert Walker Bush December 15, 2018 First, my obligatory apology for being away from The Inn for yet another extended period of time. Not only is it the end of the Semester — but we\’ve been experiencing some urban terrorism on campus that has added an additional level of work to properly servicing students […]
November 25, 2018 Stan Lee used to place his monthly \”Soapbox\” in the hinter advertising pages of the monthly Marvel editions. Stan would end each month\’s missive with the phrase: \’Nuff Said. (The monthly editions contained the same \”Soapbox\” [unique messages for each comic would have been a bit much — even for Stan Lee]).
November 8, 2018 (Two years into Trump) I am still unable to put the name of Donald Trump and President of the United States of America into a single sentence…wait…WTF — did I just do it? And, though I have repeatedly promised to avoid him as a topic — November 6, 2018 might very well

October 31, 2018 …I want to get off! My Number #1 California Concern is getting the Bullet Train project canceled! Sadly, it looks like at least part of it is going to be built — so California tax payers are going to be saddled with even more debt — most likely passed onto our children
October 3, 2018 Is all of this Hellish partisanship the fault of Newt Gingrich? Neighbor Andre suggests that it all started when Newt admonished his Republican brethren to ne\’re break bread with a Democrat. Nation: group of people linked through common descent, culture, language, or territory. Amok: to behave uncontrollably and disruptively; go berserk, get
September 26, 2018 The president doth protest too much, methinks. This attempt is NOT about Jeff Bridges or William Katt (recall \’The Greatest American Hero\’?) — it\’s about THE greatest — and LAST — REAL American hero. There will never be another John McCain — and with his departure from this mortal coil — we

August 24, 2018 I have always felt that Abraham\’s Big Three (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) were attempts by men to control the power of the vagina. Hence The Ten Commandments and celibacy; but-wait-a-minute…Jesus is quoted as saying love your neighbor as you love yourself. (This could be construed in all sorts of ways.) In-the-end, only Islam
August 16, 2018 A former principal had an interesting poster put up in the faculty room which featured a baby crawling on the floor with a bullseye on his/her diaper. The caption read: When budget cuts are made — they always go for the easiest target. So when I learned that the LAPD writes up
August 4, 2018 This is the first Summer (in 34-of-them) that I haven\’t been taking courses; teaching classes; tutoring; seeing clients; schlepping my sons to soccer tourneys all-over-Southern California; or, engaging in a hectic traveling schedule. So, even though I am working on my Fall syllabi (only one new prep, thank goodness) — I can
July 23, 2018 What I forecast weeks (even months) ago was finally held up to-the-sharp-light-of-day — the president of US is a Benedict Arnold. And like Arnold, he may flee from our shores (not to England of course). Other Tories (notably fascist Rand Paul) — probably won\’t be so lucky. I have to admit to
