Institutions hand out prizes; history hands down judgments.

Reflections on the FIFA “Peace Prize” tRrump recently received the FIFA “Peace Prize”, which is a grotesque Orwellian perversion. The world has gone mad. This maniac has so much blood on his hands – Covid victims, Ukrainian soldiers and civilians, those dependent on USAID, betrayed allies, kidnapped and disappeared brown people…. Elder G helps us […]

Code Nostril

How’s my morning going, you may ask? Well, I managed to shave off my lower left nostril in the shower this morning. Nothing serious – a quick trip to the ER and 3 pints of blood later, and I’m back at work at HQ. But we do have a meeting in a little bit with […]

Judith, by George (part 3)

Introducing…. George! Before we continue with the Beheadrix Judith, let’s introduce our unpaid marketing intern, George. George instantly fit the WLBOTT ecosystem like he was always here – lurking in the background of every broom closet at HQ, alphabetizing romance paperbacks and practicing witty Cary Grant eyebrow lifts in reflective stainless steel surfaces of the […]

Yet Another Day That Will Live In Infamy

Can we please stop having days that will live in infamy? Seems like we have them every third day lately. The latest abomination is the “big beautiful bill,” passed by one vote, that will directly kill and starve hundreds of thousands of Americans, push us to the point of default on the national debt, and […]

Remembering Pope Francis

Pope Francis has passed and the world has lost a profoundly courageous voice—a shepherd who dared to speak uncomfortable truths in a noisy and often indifferent age. Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, was not just the first pope from the Americas or the first Jesuit pope—he was the first in a long time to […]

Full Moon Over Tesla

A contingent of executives from WLBOTT HQ traveled from our corporate office to south Texas over the weekend. The route took us past the massive Tesla plant near the Austin airport. The opportunity, the temptation, was too great. We convinced a senior Elder to moon the plant. A drive-by mooning. A harmless act of civil […]

Lamentations

So…. I was at the Y yesterday, where they have a large-print copy of the Bible in the foray. I’m always curious with what page was most recently chosen by a passerby. Yesterday, the Bible was opened to Chapter 1 of the Old Testament book Lamentations. I’d never read it before. It is prosaic and […]

Shame! Shame on America!

The current American administration has brought great shame upon itself and America and her people. Friday, February 28th, 2025, is a day that will live in infamy. After observing the Friday news/social media/spending boycott, I awoke early Saturday morning to the news of the Trump/Zelenskyy press conference. I’ve never been more ashamed of my country, […]
