A Love Letter to the GOP
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 […]
All-You-Can-Eat Politics
September 7, 2024
There’s an old joke that a man goes to an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet, loads his plate, goes to his table and eats everything, then comes back for more. The manager stops him and points to the “All You Can Eat Sign.” The man, perplexed, says “But that’s what the sign says. All you can eat.” […]
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 […]
I’m Christian and You’re Wrong
June 17, 2024
The Children’s Crusade and lobster pee both fall into the general category of inexplicable things. Life in the Boomer Lane can’t speak much about lobster pee (except to note that lobsters pee out of their faces), but she can speak a bit about the Children’s Crusade, as a metaphor for our current political climate. The […]
Aging Safety Denied
May 24, 2024
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
February 14, 2024
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 […]
