Are betting odds as good as - or maybe even better than - standard polls when it comes to predicting outcomes of political races and ballot issues? Commentary @ pa-rocks-ramble.blogspot.com/2025/11/pred...

Anyone who feels the need to be honored with something he clearly doesn't deserve, such as the Nobel Peace Prize, is too vain and self-absorbed to lead a diverse and vibrant nation. The US deserves better. pa-rocks-ramble.blogspot.com/2025/11/emba...

Trump lies, intimidates, bullies, threatens war, and constantly rattles his sabers - all while begging for a Nobel Peace Prize. It would be very difficult to find someone LESS deserving of the honor. Thoughts @ pa-rocks-ramble.blogspot.com/2025/11/emba...

Prince Andy lost his title and royal lifestyle, and now Prince Junior and Prince Eric need to lose theirs, too. I'm old enough to remember the good old days when people used to have to work for a living! Other thoughts @ pa-rocks-ramble.blogspot.com/2025/11/de-p...

For those who like their comedy dark and twisted, Britbox is streaming all ten seasons of "Inside No. 9." Well acted, brilliantly written, and hilarious. This Britcom is definitely worth a watch! pa-rocks-ramble.blogspot.com/2025/10/insi...

Some remarks regarding a new (to me) British tlevision series that I have recently discovered: a dark comedy called "Inside No. 9." Exceptionally well-written and thought-provoking - and awfully damned funny! It streams on "Britbox." pa-rocks-ramble.blogspot.com/2025/10/insi...

Our government is still sinking small vessels and murdering people off the coast of northern South America under the pretext of stopping drug trafficking - but without releasing any evidence of guilt. This isn't the country I grew up in. pa-rocks-ramble.blogspot.com/2025/10/evid...

The "extrajudicial" murders of South American civilians by US forces continue unabated. It is not a good look for our military or for our country. If the boaters are breaking the law - & we have seen no evidence of that - pick them up and arrest them.
