My new best friend lives in the White House
It's official, and I have proof. This is NOT fake news. Not that I had any doubt, but it's awfully good to see it in black and white. I am, according to supporting documents delivered by the United Sates Postal Service, an official friend of Donald J. Trump, presid...

Sticks and stones hurt, but names can be worse. Really.
Nicknames can be amusing. Or not. President Trump, among his many other accomplishments, has established himself as the chief name caller. One of his targets is a U.S. senator from Massachusetts. Elizabeth Warren is no wallflower. The Democrat uses some of the over...

A cat tries to figure out what just happened on TV
(This week's column was dictated by Missy Kitty, who is plenty smart but can't type worth a whit.) Sometimes it's hard to figure out what makes humans tick. Take my humans, for example. They're smart enough to keep my food bowl full with ample sides of no-fat milk....

Betcha never thought you'd read this here
This is animal week. No, it's not one of those made-up national holidays. It is a made-up-for-the-purposes-of-writing-a-column holidays. If everyone else can make up holiday, so can I. For some reason this past week has had more than its share of animal-related inc...

Add checks to the long list of things gone bye-bye
Buggy whips. VCRs. Cassettes. Fedoras. Hitching posts. The list of Things That Everyone Used to Use could go on and on and on. But today let's focus on the venerable check register. You still have a checking account, right? Then you must know what checks are. Other...

Fake news and no tweets from the president
Day 1: No tweets from President Trump. The president holds an impromptu press conference in the White House Rose Garden, and apologizes for recent comments about illegal immigrants from Mexico. He agrees with some of his critics who have pointed out that legal alie...

The flag fracas, McCain the POW, and plaid shirts
Most of you who pay attention to this space on a regular basis already know that I don't spin many political stories. I figure you have your reasons for supporting one candidate or another, and that's good enough for me. But recent events compel me to abandon my ha...
