My Thoughts Don’t Even Cost A Penny
An apology to readers: I’ve been unable to write anything for the blog, given the current political situation. Both serious writing and parody are being done by people far more astute and clever than me. And making light of normal life seems too frivolous right now. But this week, at a dinner party, listening to […]
Saving the Planet, Episode One
January 22, 2025
Back in 1953, the Cut and Shoot, Texas Travelling Circus broke all records for the number of clowns (46) stuffed into a clown car. That record has been shatterd in the last couple days by the number of executive orders now stuffed into our collective brains by the Now and Forever First Ever True Leader […]
Inauspicious Inauguration
January 17, 2025
While Life in the Boomer Lane was writing a blog post she intended to unveil on Monday that had nothing to do with DJT, a headline galloped across her screen informing her that, because of extreme cold, the upcoming inauguration would be held indoors. Wow, she said to herself, way cool. (Huge pun here, right?). […]
Just Do Something, Part 1
November 18, 2024
Life in the Boomer Lane suspects that many of us now feel like we are in the woods, in the dark, with no flashlight, listening to ominous noises that are coming ever closer. We need something to make us feel like we are not merely helpless prey. One suggestion is to use our purchasing power […]
The Day After
November 6, 2024
We have created a world in which the warped idea of something becomes more powerful than the reality. We are told that illegal immigrants are the devil, that certain politicians and certain media are wicked and deserve punishment for merely disagreeing, that violent videoed acts were actually patriotic, that the economy is in failure, that […]
An Elegy for Reasoning
September 26, 2024
JD Vance, among an astonishing number of spewings that could keep clown cars fueled for the foreseeable future, said something of incredible value the other day. Or at least of incredible value to Life in the Boomer Lane. With that caveat, she will continue. When challenged by CNN’s Dana Bash about his repeated declaration of […]
A Love Letter to the GOP
September 10, 2024
Life in the Boomer Lane is thinking that not all of you actually believe that immigrants are eating your pets. Not all of you believe that incarcerating all folks who sent contributions to the Democratic nominee for President is a good idea. Not all of you believe that raking your leaves or dampening the forest […]
Of Foyers and Fading Out
August 17, 2024
In a sea of seriously disturbing news items (Kamala being called “Hitler and Stalin combined but times 200,”) and the contents of the public bonding debacle between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, LBL has been especially shocked at the following two items: the imminent demise of the foyer and the fact that aging is now […]
The Director Of Retribution
July 12, 2024
Back in 2017, Ivan Raiklin, a former Green Beret and then currently serving active duty in the National Guard, ran 1776 miles across Virginia to bring awareness to the issue of veteran suicide. He also ran to see if he could get enough money to make a run for the US Senate. He did this […]
The Presidential Debate 2024
June 26, 2024
While, technically, the history of presidential debates began in 1960, debates in general started well before that. The first debates were, indeed, public, since everything humans did, including pooping and copulation, was public. And yes, there was usually a topic at hand (fighting over food or women or accusing someone of pushing them into a […]
