Today’s Commentary

* If you’re a decent person, there is just no way to reconcile that with supporting Trump, and it has nothing to do with his political affiliation. If you support an awful human being….

** I’m really not sure how anyone believes this, given how bad Siri is at anything other than simple dictation, which Apple and others have had forever.

*** Anyone inclined to object to the killing of these “cute little animals” has never experienced feral hogs. They are dreadful creatures, and should be killed by any reasonable means available.

About
Author Ken Bielen compares Powderfinger to film noir because the narrator has died before the song begins, and notes that the song “has remained in high regard over the decades.”  Bielen regards the theme as “the tragic and wasteful loss of youth to conflicts between countries and their leaders.”
