The monthly Chicago death toll due to gun violence exceeds that of the Las Vegas shooting.  And guns are illegal in Chicago.

Forget food and water.  In the light of recent hurricane damage, I have learned that cell phone and internet service are now considered basic essentials.

This pretty much says it all.

So long Halloween and Thanksgiving, the fat man is in charge now.

There seems to be a movement in the NFL for players to kneel instead of standing for the national anthem.  Given that a good number of NFL viewers are conservative, I suspect that this may severely hurt their ratings.

A liberal has now declared that “Dr Suess is a racist.  Imagine that after all of these years.

A woman at a local fast food place now has new dentures.  I know that her dentures are new because last week she didn’t have very many teeth.  The question is “should I comment on her teeth or keep quiet?”

There is now a petition drive to end the current Gerrymandering practices.  And while the drive claims to be a “grass root” movement, their leadership seems to be composed of Democratic.  But I have to ask, “where were these people 10 years ago when the districts favored the Democrats?”  It sounds to me like the Democrats are mad because they lost so they now want to control how the districts are made.

This piece of art was made with M&M like candies placed on the floor.  But there was no barrier and unfortunately, someone stepped on it.  But then again, maybe the artist was making a statement.

Once again, Art-prize has brought in art experts to judge various art entries.  And once again, I am baffled as to what these experts call “art”.  I like art that is aesthetically pleasing while the experts like art that makes a statement.  They see a statement of unity while I see a worn out tire.  Oh well.
