Rutgers Culture
When I woke up this morning, and turned on the radio, there was a slow, jazz version of Gilbert O'Sullivan's 'Alone Again, Naturally' playing. I figure, lovely, a song about suicide. They must be playing it for Rutgers. Of course, the way they played during the......Read More

The Promised Land
Yesterday, I kept thinking about the focus statement from Dr. King's last address...that, he might not be able to make the journey, but that, "we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land!" I often wonder if we, as a nation , will ever get to said Promised Land. Just......Read More

Moses! Moses!
Charlton Heston has died. We, most likely, will remember him for the wonderful roles he played in the movies...as Michelangelo, as Moses. Judah Ben-Hur. It's a lot better than remembering him as a fear mongering, front man for a bunch of demented bigots who chose......Read More

Keep America Beautiful! Flush Hillary!
Some people think that it's all so complicated. It really isn't. Never mind the spin. Never mind the media blitz. Never mind the hype. The bullshit . The plain truth is, Hillary Rodham Clinton, along with her professional......Read More

A Strong Horse
It was a beautiful morning, early on. Bright sunshine, a little bit nippy, but you figure the sunshine would've warmed things up before long. I drove up to Princeton, and did my walking there, on campus, taking along my digital. I snapped some beautiful......Read More

Mulligan
Because of school, I now am able to come into the diner only on weekends. I finished the first module on Thursday night. Despite my being so nervous that I was about to throw up, I managed the lab exam quite well. In fact, I got an 'A' for the......Read More

Caring for Cookie
I personally can't believe Hillary's still ahead in the Pennsylvania polls. If those people believe that this pathological liar, this harridan, nay , this witch- will make even a better president than the narcoleptic old joke hitherto nominated by the Grand Old Peckerheads, much less her......Read More

Diversions
Well, the Democrats in the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania have spoken. They've thrown in their lot with a person who doesn't know sniper fire from baking cookies. Look, here's what's more probable than anything else- that phone call WILL come in at three in the......Read More

Nuts
It's rather crowded in here this Sunday night. I'm here in my usual spot, joined by Alan Adler, back from his post April 15th vacation, as well as by Brenda Morabito, and her life partner Mindy Okimoto (wow, Brenda and 'life partner' in the same sentence! Amazing!). ......Read More
