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 […]
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.” […]

Life in the Boomer Lane has been entirely fed up with the There-are-no-longer-any-words-to-express-this behavior of Trump, his followers, the entire GOP in general, conservative media, people who know what is happening and choose to ignore it, and a whole bunch of other stuff that signals the end of democracy or of the world, whichever occurs […]
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
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.” […]
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! […]
The Great State of Dumb
September 29, 2022
Throughout history, humans have been capable of astonishing feats of invention, art, and science. They have also been capable of using their 86 billion brain cells to wage wars over pastries and an ear, to deplete natural resources until land no longer supported them, and to make a lot of astonishingly bad reality shows. Humans […]
The History of Right-Wing Extremism
July 19, 2022
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
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 […]
News of the Wild
June 6, 2022
The past week has been jam-packed with so many atrocities due to gun violence and the GOP’s continuing belief that each life lost is simply another indication that the Second Amendment is alive and well, thank you very much, that the non-gun wisdom of many high profile GOPers has gone unnoticed by all but an […]
