Mike Johnson vs The Freedom Caucus
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 […]
How the World Could Have Been Saved
December 28, 2022
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 […]
What’s in A Name?
February 8, 2022
Life in the Boomer Lane had just finished writing a post this morning, when a surprising news nugget rose up, smacked her in the face, and left her reeling. She had to immediately dump what she had intended to post and post this instead: Mitt Romney, staunch Conservative of the esteemed state of Arizona, son […]
Covid Visits A Therapist
January 19, 2022
What brings you here today? I’m doubting myself. I’m supposed to be a Big Deal Pandemic. I did everything right. I came at a time when people were always travelling all over the planet. I snuck in easily from another country and took everyone by surprise. I kept changing, so everyone kept getting confused. I […]
Catch Up
August 30, 2021
LBL hasn’t posted anything in quite some time. She has spent most of that time with family, reminding herself that, when both children and then grandchildren have all been successfully potty-trained, life becomes far more civilized. Unlike her children and grandchildren, the world has not yet been able to successfully potty train itself. While she […]
Upending the Hunter/Gatherer Myth
December 16, 2020
Humans have, throughout the millennia, attempted to make sense of their world. But, being humans, they invariably ended up screwing things up. Worse, it has allowed later humans to come to conclusions that stemmed from their own base interests or flawed perceptions of the world. The result is that a lot of conclusions haven’t aligned […]
What Women Want. or Not.
December 7, 2020
Visualize this: A band of young people (young, because their life span is less than 30 years), slogging along over some unnamed terrain that would one day boast mile after mile of Targets, Home Depots, Wal Marts, and unlimited fast food and pizza restaurants. Now there is only endless nothing. One female is getting testy. […]
A Phone Conversation Between Vladimir Putin and Xi Jiping
August 17, 2020
Vladimir Putin, relaxing at home by doing 10,000 sit ups, is interrupted by a ringing phone. He picks it up. Vlad here. Talk to me. Hey Vlad, it’s Xi. We need to talk. About what? As if I couldn’t guess. Our common pain-in-the-butt. Oh right, him. Trust me, it’s way worse for me. I […]
Cataract Surgery
July 23, 2020
The history of cataracts began well after the time when the average life span was only a bit longer than a bag of dried beans. People generally lived long full lives into their 20s and 30s, then succumbed to rotted teeth and mammoth attacks. Other ailments included gout, the vapors, biliousness and St Vitus Dance. […]
Why People Don’t Wear Face Masks
July 13, 2020
There has been a lot of confusion around the wearing of face masks. Mostly, this consists of two groups of people. One group is comprised of scientists and medical professionals who say that face masks are the #1 way, along with social distancing, that people can protect themselves from Coronavirus. The other group is comprised […]
