The subtitle of the book is: How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability. Unfortunately, not many people read it. Moreover, no one "got it". … Continue reading My Inbox is on Fire

The Sun Also Rises: a review 2025
AS one thing leads to another I decided to re-read Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, written some 100 years ago. In some ways it is terrible writing, in others, amazing. The Sun Also Rises is about nothing and everything. Maybe the best way to talk about the book is by way of the six elements of story. … Continue reading The Sun Also Rises: a review 2025
The BASEBALL 100: a review
The BASEBALL 100 is a book by Joe Posnanski, my brother's favorite baseball writer. Brother Jack gifted me the book last Christmas. I just finished it and will say this: The Baseball 100 might have to move into my top five books' list. Of all time!

The Meaning of Life: a review
As is my wont, I'll be brief. Or, a conversation starter. This post is a review of a movie I watched last night and again this morning. I liked it that much! However, it's been widely criticized. Fair enough. Warhorse One is the movie (2023). It's an action war film, about consequences of the withdrawal … Continue reading The Meaning of Life: a review
Toppling Over: a poem
I've begun to restructure this blog. Under the title GREAT DEBATE is now a menu with links to the major categories I write about. [(Ha, ha, or lol? Psych-girl, two sessions ago, pointed out to me that I have "a tendency to categorize everything.") She's right. She usually is.] So far I've listed two. There … Continue reading Toppling Over: a poem

Beginning with George Herbert Walker Bush, or 41, who was very fond of her. Keep that in mind. Dowd was recently interviewed about that at the New Orleans book festival. I … Continue reading Maureen Dowd and the Presidents
