61. The UN-Affordable Care Act
October 22, 2013
When I listened to President Obama’s speech defending the problems of Obamacare, and pledging all would be well (Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain), I had but one thought: Oh, my God he sounds like an Enron executive. I thought maybe the media would pick up on it and call the man to ta...

62. Hand Puppets Are Evil
October 16, 2013
See here’s my take: beware of hand puppets because they lie and get you into trouble. I know what you’re thinking: Myers has lost it; he’s finally gone over the wall. It’s time to haul him away to the funny farm, the loony bin, the crazy house. (There coming to take me away hee-hee, ha-ha, ho-ho…) H...

63. Hope and Change
October 10, 2013
There was a young, charismatic candidate contending for leadership of a North American country who campaigned under the slogan of Hope-and-Change. At the time, the country was (mildly) flourishing, but the establishment was corrupt due to lack of proper checks-and-balances. As the old saying goes, t...

64. Change It Or Fix It
October 01, 2013
I’m presenting two scenarios that may seem unconnected. They’re not. Each is a metaphor for the other. During a previous career I observed firsthand the manufacturing sector for a number of Fortune 500 companies, I was constantly entertained by blatant mendacity and hypocrisy, the culture it...

65. A Strange Class Reunion
September 21, 2013
In my reverie… Once before I wrote about the kind of dreams I have. They come nightly—and I mean every night, and are, in the main, rather pleasant. Usually they make absolutely no sense and are totally illogical, although when I’m in the dream everything seems completely logical and makes ...

66. Commercials, Jingles, and Tag Lines
September 17, 2013
I remember when living on the west coast a few decades ago an upstart company with a new concept called cable-TV tried to break into the television market. It got zero traction. Zip. Nada. The over-the-air TV stations and the local politicians put the kibosh on the attempt. Five years or so later, a...

67. 20th Century American Voice (Concluded)
September 05, 2013
This is the conclusion of a class assignment interview conducted by a 26-year-old graduate student (Kahuna) of an 80-year-old retired engineer (Fuzz). The interview was conducted in 1996 for a Life History Project. The subject of the interview passed away nine years later. As you’ll recall, I stumbl...

68. 20th Century American Voice (Continued)
September 04, 2013
To complete a LIFE HISTORY assignment, a 26-year-old graduate student chose to interview an 80-year-old member of the so-called greatest generation to ascertain how the American experience evolved during the span of the twentieth century. The interview took place in 1996, and the interviewee passed ...

69. 20th Century American Voice
September 01, 2013
By chance I recently came across an interview of a man who left this dimension three days after Christmas 2005. The interview was conducted in 1996 by a graduate student to fulfill a college requirement to contrast differences, positive and negative, from the World War II generation to his own; the ...
