Justice Scalia Wonders If Same-Sex Parents Are Harmful To Children

His daughter, Ann, was booked for child endangerment

In 2007 --- my, my, my.
The other charge that came up during that traffic incident
Was, if memory serves, a DUI.

You really do have to think about how she was raised ---
Being a fair guy, this usually forbids
Leaping to conclusions but maybe different-sex parents like
Antonin & Ann aren’t good for kids.

Four Hikers Fall In Eaton Canyon, One Dies

(I live near a popular hiking spot in Altadena, California where nearly

every weekend some hapless nature lover gets hurt and then has to be

rescued. This situation is now beyond out of control.)

* 

I’m so sick of reading headlines like that one

That I’m willing to be the front man

To suggest the bottoms of the waterfalls there

Need air bags as used by a stunt man.

If those were installed, when someone stumbles

And then rapidly plummets earthward, a call

To paramedics could probably be avoided since

Something would be there to break their fall.

Some of you may scoff at this notion and perhaps

Have already begun derisive smirking

But, seriously, is this idea any worse than what’s

In play now that’s clearly not working?

Things have gone so Hollywood:

Yes, we’ve reached the stage

Where even Mother Earth has

Been lying about her age.

Putting Old Pictures Into The Favorite Things You’ve Read

This form of safe-keeping

Creates a curious amalgam

That transforms any book

Into a photo album.

But this 20^th century habit

Has begun to dwindle

As more people turn to

e-readers like Kindle.

Yet the makers all of

These digital devices

May eventually realize

Precisely how nice is

This habit and find ways

For snapshots you took

To be inserted into your

Kobo Glo or Nook.

Sign That Emeritus Pope Benedict Wants To Start Dating

I saw a photo of him & knew that ring

He wanted to toss his hat in:

His email was on his mitre along with

“Call me maybe” in Latin.

Postcards From Victory Park (Vol. 3)

From under ten to nearly twenty, they’re lured

By some sports-loving siren:

Year-round here it seems that baseball is being

Played on every diamond.

As my son and I walk by them on a daily basis

I wouldn’t call it coincidental

That the coaches are drilling into their players

Every kind of fundamental.

“Infielders! Don’t let ground balls get past you!

That can cost you a game!

Outfielders! Make sure you catch it before you

Throw it! Work on your aim!”

The kids have done the drills dozens of times and

Some seem a bit upset --- it

Is like they want to tell their coaches, “We know

This stuff & won’t forget it.”

On one field on the following Saturday afternoon

We couldn’t help quickly becoming aware

A real game was being played and we learned why

Coaches are going gray or losing their hair.

It was impossible for anyone watching to ignore

What had just occurred ---

An awful throw to first was followed by an even

More wretched one to third.

This made one coach apoplectic. He jumped up and down

And was loudly squawking about.

When Casey Stengel said, “Can’t anybody play this game?”

This is what he was talking about.
