MONDAY MORNING DISPATCH (4/14/25)

1)  This past week, the defense team for Bryan Kohberger was in court, trying to get all kinds of motions granted. You know who Bryan Kohberger is:

The dead-eyed Ph.D. student accused of murdering four Idaho college students.

Bryan has an airtight alibi. He was stargazing at the time of the murders.

And also, that knife that his Amazon account shows he purchased? He doesn’t know anything about it.

MONDAY MORNING DISPATCH (3/31/25)

Tomorrow is April 1st, and if you’re expecting some cheesy April Fool’s bit, you’re going to be sorely disappointed.

The current administration has decided the best way to handle a dumpster fire is to drag it out into a heavily wooded area, dump gasoline on it, then deny they did it. And claim anyone who saw them do it is a liar.

You want an April Fool’s joke? It’s on all of us.

MONDAY MORNING DISPATCH (3/24/25)

1)   David Chase, the creator of THE SOPRANOS, was a guest on the WTF with Marc Maron podcast a while back, and he was talking about the series finale and how/why he chose the Journey song “Don’t Stop Believing” to play during the final moments. He said he had it mind what the final episode would be and he knew he wanted one of three possible songs to be playing.

Chase asked some of his production people what they thought. He listed the three possible songs (and no, I don’t recall what the other two songs were and I’m not going to go back and relisten to the podcast interview again). Chase said the other two songs received positive responses, while “Don’t Stop Believing” received negative ones. Everyone was in agreement that the Journey song should not be the final one, and the it should be one of the other two.

That’s when Chase knew, without a doubt, he would use “Don’t Stop Believing.”

MONDAY MORNING DISPATCH (3/10/25)

1)  I know I said I didn’t want to discuss politics and how sick I am of hearing about it from both sides… But I have to say something.

It appears to me that there is a significant portion of the American population that is treating our government as some sort of reality program, and they are voting in politicians based on who says the craziest stuff, who says the dumbest stuff, who is the most outrageous, who is a compulsive liar, etc. It’s as if people are at home watching a government version of BIG BROTHER (the TV show, not the book version) and going:

MONDAY MORNING DISPATCH (2/24/25)

1)  Years ago, when I was working a crappy retail job, which wasn’t all that bad really… In fact, it was a pretty enjoyable job, except during the months of November and December when we’d get hit with stressed-out holiday shoppers who wanted to blame us (the workers) for the crowded stores, high prices, and shitty winter weather.

Anyway…

Had a guy from the corporate office filling in for a week while the store was training a new manager. I was working part time on weekends and doing the “stay-at-home dad” thing during the week. Corporate guy told me he “worked in finance” before taking a job in the current company. He asked me about myself, and was especially interested when he discovered I’m a writer and have authored several novels.

He told me, “You know, I’ve thought sometimes about writing a book.”

MONDAY MORNING DISPATCH (2/17/25)

What the hell? Four weeks in a row? Must be some kind of blog record. Let’s keep it going.

Also, I think I’m owed some points for writing out “what the hell” rather than the modern day “WTH.” Yes, I’m the guy that writes out “by the way” instead of “BTW,” and “okay” instead of “OK” or “K.”

And you’ll never catch me texting “lol.” Never.

This week’s Dispatch:
