The Battalion Of Injured Reserve Heroes

Cro-Magnon Man looked upon his peers, 2,000 or so superheroes crammed into a make shift clubhouse, previously a cave. He squinted, which created a furrow across his abnormally large forehead. It was far from attractive. He saw a sea of multi-colored spandex, masks, metals and weaponry. He took a deep breath before calling order. He announced, “It is an honor to stand… before all of you. May you fill with pride… for you are committed… to preserving… the royal order of justice…let us recite our oath.” He bowed his head.

As one unified voice, the heroes solemnly swore, “If and when a hero goes down, we are prepared with complete heart and sound mind to replace said hero with 100% commitment. If necessary, with our lives. Gulp. Justice for all. Amen.”

Gubernatorial And Raisinets®

“It hurts when I go like this, doctor.”

It is a bleak time to watch television in Illinois. Political ads for governor, assessor, attorney general, county board president, dog catcher, and  congressman dominate the airwaves.

Back in my day, we used stamps to mail letters, snail mail, and the American bald eagle was bigger than Elvis Presley.

When someone says back in my day, it’s just another way of saying how much the world has changed in his or hers life span. Also, it’s an opportunity to point out that someone needs to shut the fuck up with his or hers trivial nonsense.

When I say back in my day, here are the parameters: I am referencing 1970 to 1980. For those not familiar, it was the decade from 40 years ago.

Peanut Butter & Jelly & Hollywood Nights by BOB SEGER Vs. CADILLAC DON & J-MONEY

Peanut Butter & Jelly & Hollywwod NIghts

When we speak of the Bob Seger, it’s easy to meander about our disdain for the “music”, and at times the “man”. It’s easy to say, “I’ll tell you what, I really hate that mother fucking turd ball.” It’s understandable. He was everywhere, and often; he was over-rated, played out, and he still is. Frankly, “Like A Rock” is the second worst song, next to “We Built This City” by Starship.
