Shtupping for Charity
Let’s give porn a break. The industry continues to grow by leaps and bounds, supported by the same society that reviles it. But the porn industry isn’t all bad. For example, internet porn has allowed single guys to enjoy porn in the privacy of their own homes, rather than have to put raincoats on […]
A Better Way to Celebrate Valentine’s Day
February 8, 2016
Valentine’s Day, like most holidays we celebrate, started with pagan people being slapped with strips of goat hide dipped in sacrificial blood. Because Match.com hadn’t been invented yet, young women, after being slapped, placed their names into a big urn, and bachelors would choose a name and would be paired with that woman. After […]
Amazon Conquers the World
February 5, 2016
While the rampant mayhem of our beloved political process has diverted everyone’s attention from both ISIS and whether they should follow the Paleo Diet, something else has been afoot that Americans haven’t noticed: Amazon, after single-handedly obliterating most brick and mortar bookstores in the country, has been quietly opening brick and mortar bookstores of […]
Why Can’t We All Just get Along?
January 29, 2016
Life in the Boomer Lane could barely contain her sadness over the recent dischord between some mighty high profile people.

Leaving Hawaii
January 28, 2016
Life in the Boomer Lane has just returned from Hawaii, where she had the rewarding experience of spending many hours in airports and on planes, contemplating the human race.

Emergency Republican Debate
January 25, 2016
Donald Trump’s assertion that he could stand on Fifth Avenue and shoot someone, and his groupies would still support him, was met with outrage on the part of other Republican Presidential wannabees. Because of that, Republicans held a special debate, in which the top five candidates could have their say. It went something like this: […]
Trump Tests His Fan Base
January 23, 2016
Donald J Trump, addressing a campain rally in Iowa, said of his loyal fan base, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters, okay? It’s, like, incredible,” Life in the Boomer Lane is not making this up. She believes Trump’s atatement is true, unless the person Trump shoots is […]
The Blizzard of the Century and the Need for Aerosol Cheese
January 23, 2016
LBL doesn’t know which makes her more giddy with excitement, the Trump and Palin love fest (LBL prefers to refer to the union as “Tralin'”) or the fact that she has chosen this very week to be in Hawaii and thereby avoid the massive “Blizzard of a Lifetime” that is choking the […]
When Manners Trump Murder
January 20, 2016
It’s a common story: Friends gather for dinner, one friend kills another, and the result is that the hostess is never thanked for all the work she spent preparing and serving the meal. Not so in this case, according to yesterday’s Washington Post, reporting on a murder that took place on December 20, at […]
What the World Will Look Like Without Drivers
January 19, 2016
If the above title conjures up post-apocalyptic visions of empty roadways littered with old fast food wrappers, or, if the idea of driverless cars careening all over the road is enough to have you imagine the mayhem of a Road Runner cartoon, take heart. We are not talking about either the end of the human […]
