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

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 […]

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 […]

Life in the Boomer Lane has just returned from a whirlwind tour of Morocco. For those of you who are shrieking “Morocco!?! isn’t that a Muslim country!? Oh my Capital-G-God, were you safe?! Look at what happened in israel!!! and lots of other assorted inane pronouncements, LBL is here to tell you the following: 2. […]

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.” […]

A Brief Catch Up on the State of the Planet

The Wascally Wabbits of the US Political UnderWorld are in a serious competition with whatever causes our current hellacious weather patterns (climate change/gun control/a pissed off god/simple bad luck/Hunter Biden) to end the world as expediciously as possible. Even Vlad and Kim took time out from planning their next Big Bro Pajama Party to to […]

Winning, Always Winning. Even When Losing.

Life in the Boomer Lane must apologize to Loyal Readers. She saw the up-to-the-second headline about Nikki Haley throwing her hat into the wrestling ring with Donald J. This needs a blog post, for sure, but LBL had already written the following post. And, blame her for what you will, but she has never been […]

A Panacea for the End of the World

August 22, 2022

Life in the Boomer Lane has been unable to metaphorically put pen to paper in today’s increasingly debilitating world. A stay at Jellystone Park (home to Yogi Bear and his cohorts) with five of her grandchildren did provide a brief respite from the knowledge that the earth was rolling rapidly downhill toward certain oblivion. It’s […]

Gas Prices and Mickey Mouse

June 25, 2022

2

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 […]

Covid Visits A Therapist

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 […]
