To "Stravage" is to wander aimlessly. So, that's what I'm going to do here.
There will be a lot of swearing. Get over it. I have. Call it a midlife crisis if you want. I've raised my kid and now I don't care to censor myself. Let's see how this goes.

Stonekettle Station: Red Sea: How do you like your new President? It’s been a month, give or take, so how about it? Is the Trump Administration better than you hoped or...
I still have a hard time saying it. President Donald Trump. My stomach turns a bit each time I think about it. But it was predictable. That is not to say that I predicted it, or that anyone other than Michael Moore did. But it was predictable. This is because seeing the movie Idiotocracy seemed to me more of a future documentary when I saw it. This is because the number of people who believe the crap that Fox News put out has been growing and growing. This is because no matter how many times Andrew Breitbart would put stupid stuff on his web pages or support the stupid "veritas" jack ass and all his selective editing and entrapment style "journalism" people kept reading it and posting it on Facebook. This is because the guys who lied us into war with Iraq still get invited to talk to America via the major news programs on all three network and all of the 24/7 news channels. All this stuff was going on before Trump announced hi...
Once there was a village of sheep herding people surrounded by rolling green hills filled with little white puffy four legged animals called "sheep," For the most part the owners of the sheep would just let them wander through the hills untended while they stayed in their houses watching little 3 minute videos of cats riding robotic vacuum cleaners. But one little boy loved watching the little white puff balls wander around eating the grass. One day the little boy spotted a wolf sneaking up on the herd. He ran to the village elder and told him about it. "Really?" said the elder. "Sounds pretty far-fetched to me. I don't think that wolf eats mutton. More of a chicken killer I think." and he went back to watching a video of a kitten sitting in a small box. The boy decided to go make sure the wolf really was just a chicken killer. The wolf slinked up to one of the oldest, weakest sheep and killed it. Then he dragged i...
I have to admit, I have been engaging in a lot of political battles on Facebook. I know it's fruitless. I know that people don't really change their views on matters based on Facebook arguments. But I can't really help it. I just can't let the stupidity just hang out there unanswered. So, when someone posts a meme that I know is either untrue or misleading I have to point it out. I have been reading about and discussing political issues since I was 14 or 15. I have always been into reading the newspapers. My habit would be to scan the headlines and read the first paragraph or two of the story. (Learned this trick from a junior high school history teacher who explained the inverted triangle style of news story writing.) Then if a story caught my attention I would go back and finish it before moving on to the Op-Ed page. I'd read them all, so I would see what Art Buchwald would have to say, then George Will, then David...
