I haven’t written anything for quite a while, mainly because I couldn’t think of anything worth writing about. But then, along came Donald Trump, the Donald. And he gave me something to write about. I’ve long thought that anyone who would wear his hair in that Trumpy style must be really stupid, and today, it was confirmed, he really is stupid. Rich, yes, but stupid, a resounding yes. Today he reaffirmed his belief that our president, Barack Obama, wasn’t born in this country, and therefore is not a citizen of the United States, therefore shouldn’t be president. I realize that way too many of our citizens also believe that really stupid rumor. And I realize that way too many of our citizens also think that Sarah Palin would be a good candidate for president, or that Donald Trump would be a good candidate for president. Whoa! Now both those thoughts are really stupid, and anyone holding those thoughts must be equally stupid. I mean, Tea Partiers, for the most part, are creationists and not evolutionists, and that announces in CAPITAL LETTERS their stupidity. And anyone who would even consider voting for Sarah Palin or Donald Trump for president of the United States must be summa cum laude with a major in Stupidity.
I've always collected errors in diction, things people mis-hear, like "windshield factor" and "the next store neighbors." Years ago, one of my students wrote an essay in which she described the world as being harsh and cruel, "a doggy-dog world." I've since come to think she may have been more astute and accurate than those who describe it in the usual way. My Stories - Mobridge Memories -
About Me
Translate
Most of what I've written has been published as e-books and is available at Amazon. Match Play is a golf/suspense novel. Dust of Autumn is a bloody one set in upstate New York. Prairie View is set in South Dakota, with a final scene atop Rattlesnake Butte. Life in the Arbor is a children's book about Rollie Rabbit and his friends (on about a fourth grade level). The Black Widow involves an elaborate extortion scheme. Happy Valley is set in a retirement community. Doggy-Dog World is my memoir. And ES3 is a description of my method for examining English sentence structure.
In case anyone is interested in any of my past posts, an archive list can be found at the bottom of this page. I'd appreciate any feedback you may have by sending me an e-mail note--jertrav33@aol.com. Thanks for your interest.
