Firing on All Cylinders

May 1, 2023

4

For the last couple weeks, every single time Life in the Boomer Lane starts to write a blog post, something crashes through her currently-firing brain cells that seriously diverts her attention. It’s like a fireball of headlines all barreling toward her at once. DeSantis Fires His Wrath Upon Disney World! Tucker Carlson Fired From Fox! […]

Sidney, Say it Ain’t So

February 20, 2023

Even preschoolers know that information disseminated among humans can become so corrupted so as to emerge as another entity entirely. Preschoolers call this phenomenon “Whisper Down the Lane.” Adults engage in that same phenomenon. To them, it’s called conservative talk media. Depending on which side of the fence one’s posterior currently rests, one either sees […]

Winning, Always Winning. Even When Losing.

Life in the Boomer Lane must apologize to Loyal Readers. She saw the up-to-the-second headline about Nikki Haley throwing her hat into the wrestling ring with Donald J. This needs a blog post, for sure, but LBL had already written the following post. And, blame her for what you will, but she has never been […]

Here, Little Doc

It now seems that the classified and top secret docs that were found at Mar-a-lago were only the tip of the iceberg. Like glitter and Life in the Boomer Lane’s hair, once released, they have the ability to be everywhere at once. First, it was the White House, then Biden’s personal home. Now they have […]

George, George, George

A lot has been written about Congressman and Newly-Crowned Member of the House Committee on Small Business and the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. The information is coming in at an alarming rate. What’s a poor schmuck to believe? In a service to Loyal Readers, Life in the Boomer Lane arranged for a private interview […]

How the World Could Have Been Saved

December 28, 2022

7

With only a few days left of 2022, and, with seemingly nothing more that Ex-and-Wannabe-Again-POTUS (XWAP)could possibly say to rivet Life in the Boomer Lane’s attention, he has gone and done it again. His Christmas Eve Rant was an eye opener, not because he trashed the usual suspects, while glorifying himself, but because he has […]

Constitution Constipation

December 5, 2022

Loyal Readers can be excused if they missed Trump’s latest post on Truth Social. After all, the World Cup and Herschel Walker’s mouth are sucking up most of the airtime now. In addition, there is the imminent appearance of Hanukkah and the fact that a Tortoise named Jonathan, the world’s oldest land animal, is about […]

Falling for the Midterms

November 10, 2022

19

In the weeks leading up to the mid-terms, Life in the Boomer Lane’s in box came perilously close to exceeding 100 political emails per day. Candidates, under a variety circumstances (running behind in the polls and in cash/running well in the polls and in cash/having had their personal credit cards declined) all indicated that LBL’s […]

The History of Right-Wing Extremism

July 19, 2022

12

It’s easy to blame poor Donald Trump for the current extremism of the Republican party from blah-blah-blah-we-hate-taxes to raped-10-year-olds-shouldn’t-have-abortions. The truth is that the roots of right-wing extremism can be traced back to the moment that early humans first realized that their environment was fraught with danger. “Things were better before poisonous snakes and Neanderthals […]

Gas Prices and Mickey Mouse

June 25, 2022

2

As the Cult of the GOP valiantly ignores the ongoing January 6 hearings, its disciples are agreed that all people really care about are gas prices and inflation. This surprised Life in the Boomer Lane. Surely, all these God-created folks scattered around the country must be getting hopped up about more topics than this. For […]
