By Larry Leonard February 27, 2013 — Mariners navigate by the north star. In the early 1940′s, Sam Goldwyn made a movie starring John Huston, Dana Andrews and Anne Baxter. (It was released in ’43.) I’m writing this in the middle of the night as I’m watching it. The story began in a Continue reading The North Star of Hollywood 
WOODWARD: Obama fibs on budget cuts… What does the headline above mean? February, 22, 2013 — It was on Drudge, today. The essay below this one (In Defense of going over the Cliff) if the staff left it there, ran last month, but holds true still. I could have been talking about the new March 2 Sequester Continue reading American Left Showing Signs of Weakness 
By Larry Leonard November 28, 2012 — Not that — based on the recent election — legions of American socialists pay much attention to what we have to say, but here it is, anyway. After much reflection on the subject of the economy our financial experts (two great pool shooters at the local cowboy whiskey Continue reading In Defense of going over the Cliff 
By Larry Leonard December 18, 2012 — The Winchester ’73 is considered the “gun that won the west,” and is the reason everybody west of the Mississippi doesn’t speak Japanese. Dr. Gatling’s gun was patented in the 1860′s but, in principle, invented by an engineer named Leonardo da Vinci much earlier. Continue reading E-RFD: Concerning the Gun Subject 
By Larry Leonard December 11, 2012 — It’s “retro” because we have seen it before. I’ve see it — in Pathe News at the movies, in film footage of them celebrating “kristalnact” by burning books. Every beer hall had a local putsch and every Jew had an armband. A joyous time Continue reading Michigan Holiday Retro-Fashion: Blue Collars and Brown Shirts 
By Larry Leonard November 20, 2012 — I’ve been waiting for it for weeks now. PBS introduced me to the syndrome decades back, so I was not disappointed when I saw it, tonight. It is a piece of crap, and is actually worse than I had expected because besides being a warped and Continue reading History Channel’s Rape of the “History of Us” 
By Larry Leonard November 11, 2012 — The Chinese built the Great Wall to keep out invaders. I do not know if “interesting” was a satirical reference. Wry humor, perhaps. But the word was here intended to describe rape, murder, theft and so forth. They defined peace as being able to Continue reading Ancient Chinese Curse: May You Live in Interesting Times 
November 7, 2012 – Daniel Boone, Lewis and Clarke, Admiral Farragut, D-Day, Okinawa and the farmer, George Washington in the photo of the painting, above, there is almost always a liquid-based reference to great American events. Hell, even B-52′s are airships, and their skippers “captains.” This election outcome last night, to me, resembles a past Continue reading Paddling Your Own Canoe 
By Larry Leonard November 05, 2012 — You yell “Hello?” in an Oregon canyon, and a row of greetings echo back. Why more than one? Because the second echo is the reply to the first echo, the third to the second, and so on. The national and Oregon MSM (or “mainstream media”) is like that. Continue reading Dewey Defeats Truman !! (Famous late 1940′s newspaper stupid election headline. Truman won. ) 
by Larry Leonard Then there was the bad political weather which happens not out of Man, but in a large cycle like droughts and floods and the gentle times that follow the fight against the fascists. The enemies are always the fascists. They march into the cities intent on bringing revolution of their Continue reading The Conservatives also Rise 
October 9, 2012 — Romney said he will defund Public Broadcasting. Why would he want to do that? Because like millions of Americans, he doesn’t like taxpayer financing via borrowing Chinese money to fund programming that on its own is fat with income. And, he doesn’t like much of the rest of what Continue reading Big Bird isn’t Funny 
By Larry Leonard September 30, 2012 — It is the Year of our Enviro-Laird, Obama the Munificent, who has just declared economic success in what in Chicago would be called the Hood. Why was it announced this week, and why is it physically located in N.E. Portland? In Oregon, it’s easy Continue reading New Jobs in Portland? The New Massa is the Government. 
By Larry Leonard November 7, 2012 — Jesse Jackson and Arianna Huffington, objecting to last night’s election results, blocked the front door of the White House with a cadre of Black Panthers whose military uniforms displayed a shoulder patch similar to the flag carried by the Islamic hordes during the Middle Ages. “This election was Continue reading November 7 Executive Order 
By Larry Leonard September 12, 2012 — As he was steaming away from the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese admiral, Yamamoto, surrounded by delighted naval officers celebrating their victory, according to sources from news journals to television documentaries to Hollywood script writers, said words to this effect, “I have traveled Continue reading The Sleeping Dragon |
