By request from not one, but two readers, we share the previously published article again for your perusal.  It must be sales meeting time for some.  We hope you’ll enjoy it.   One of the many gifts that Boom Boom gave us was the torrent of quips about how one leads one’s life.   He could …

Abby rebounded nicely after a two-week skid likely brought on by kennel cough-19.  She had no vaccines nor boosters, which by the day sounds like the better way to go. Last week she got five games right and four wrong.  She won six bones and lost five.  Either you pay the man, or the man …

There is the old adage, “the only thing constant is change.”  There is the new adage, “change is coming at you faster than ever.” The old adage is proven correct daily.  The new adage remains debatable. Tulsi Gabbard changed, at least she changed officially.  She formally announced Monday that given the mad shift to the …

You’ve waited far too long.  Nuggets, all ten, are spiced just right for your consumption below. During a portion of an interview with CBS News aired on Monday’s edition of “Red and Blue,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) warned that while abortion is an important issue, Democrats “have got to do more” on the economy.  How …

Our civil servant friends from the left have perfected its delivery with the tone, tenor, and repetitiveness that they are very skilled at doing in marketing their message. …

The November midterm elections are barreling down on us faster than Ian went through Florida (too soon?).  And the circus has all three rings full of actions. Send in the clowns.  Where are the clowns?  They’re all piling out of the little car at once. In the hotly contested Georgia Senate race that has major …

Abby watched Scott Van Pelt’s “Bad Beats” ESPN segment last Monday night with great disinterest.  She dropped two games in the final seconds v the spread to fall just below .500 for the week.  Stuff happens. This was after a great week 3, so all is well for the hound.  Pound for pound she likes …

As it has been told, Joe Biden sought former President Barrack Obama’s council prior to deciding to run for the Democratic nomination for President in 2020.  As has also been told, Obama reportedly said, “You don’t have to do this Joe, you know?” Was that a polite way of saying “don’t run?”  If the response …

CNN’s evening lineup was doing so poorly when new ownership took over that they decided to revamp it in its entirety.  It’s been BBR’s belief for a good while now that a move to the center will pay dividends. MSNBC reads directly from the DNC and WH playbooks like a dutiful second-grade child desperate for an …
