Aging Safety Denied

Life in the Boomer Lane has been entirely too preoccupied with the daily Amazon truck arrival to notice much else going on around her. Then just a couple days ago, she saw something that catapulted her into action. It was a photo of the Trump master bathroom at Mar-a-Lago, showing an entire shitload of stacked […]

Eric Swalwell

March 4, 2024

Way back on July 8, 2022, in that innocent time before Kevin McCarthy truly understood the phrase “eating their young,” Life in the Boomer Lane missed an important headline from the Washington Examiner, “Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is Unfit for Congress and Owes Lauren Boebert An Apology.” Had she been astute enough to see this headline, […]

It’s Only A Number Take 2

February 21, 2024

October 2023 was an innocent time in America. A surprised Kevin McCarthy was booted from his job as Speaker of the House, and Jim Jordan, believing he would do much better, was elated to get the nomination. That same month, People Magazine reported that, while Taylor Swift and Kelce sure seemed like an item, an […]

It’s Only A Number

The latest episode of Battle of the Age Gladiators pits Donald Trump against Joe Biden. Trump’s people have been age-bashing Biden for a long time now, asserting that Biden, by virture of the fact that he is in the 79-106 age demographic, is unfit to hold office. Trump, on the other hand, a member of the […]

As reported by Heather Cox Richardson on Sunday, Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced they had reached a $1.66 trillion agreement to fund the government in 2024…Members of the Freedom Caucus immediately panned the agreement, well before it was actually printed. Random members of the Freedom Caucus were […]

The Etiquette of Threesomes

December 7, 2023

Life in the Boomer Lane has been vainly searching for anything to write about that has nothing to do with the Nazification of Trump, the downfall of American Democracy, the End of the World in General, or the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce romance. She hit paydirt with today’s post from her most favorite political commentator, Heather […]

Bennu and You

September 25, 2023

6

It has just been announced that Bennu, characterized as a “near-earth” object, is due to collide with Earth in 2182. Life in the Boomer Lane should explain, at this point, that the designation of Bennu being a “near-earth” object is not the same as the current gang of GOP henchmen being described as as “near-human.” […]

Lauren Boerbert, Theater Critic

September 18, 2023

Lauren Boebert, duly-elected GOP CongressHumanoid from the 3rd District of Colorado, is no slouch when it comes to culture. Boebert attended Rifle High School (Life in the Boomer Lane is not making this up), but dropped out in 2024 when she became pregnant. Before her run for Congress, she prepared herself for public office by […]

Firing on All Cylinders

May 1, 2023

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! […]

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 […]
