Putin on the Ritz
December 30, 2016
The Obama Administration (yes, it still exists), after weighing all evidence presented by the CIA and other government-investigative agencies, has imposed sanctions on Russia for hacking into the DNC website. Thirty-five Russian diplomats have been expelled, and two facilities used for intelligence-gathering have been closed. One of these facilities is a so-called dacha on […]
This New Orange Era: The New Norm is Not A Norm
December 15, 2016
Back in the 1950s, the US, having just survived a horrific war, settled down and chose a general as President. The theme was order and prosperity. The small world that Life in the Boomer Lane inhabited consisted of school, family and friends. The first two were orderly and predictable. School, above all, was a […]
This New Orange Era: The Test of Journalism
December 8, 2016
On Wednesday, Donald Trump was interviewed via phone by Matt Lauer. Lauer, a genuinely nice guy, is not a heavyweight in the world of journalism. Coming off the flack he received by his wimpy moderation of the pre-debate debate between Trump and Clinton, Laurer was prepared to do some hard talk, this time around. What […]
This New Orange Era: Who ARE These People?
November 30, 2016
It’s no secret that Democrats, especially liberal Dems, were devastated when Trump won the election. For them, it signaled the unleashing of the unwashed masses upon their educated sensibilities. Liberals felt like the Night’s Watch in Game of Thrones, as they saw countless hordes of White Walkers relentlessly scaling the wall of Castle Black, with […]
This New Orange Era: Sex, Sexism, and the Politics of Sex
November 16, 2016
Life in the Boomer Lane would like to take credit for the term “this new orange era,” but it goes, instead, to one of her loyal readers, MaryN. Throughout the next four years, LBL will occasionally be subjecting her readers to posts relating to our new orange reality. She has already accumulated a mental backlog […]
Bad Hombres
October 20, 2016
Watching the debate last night, Life in the Boomer Lane was stunned to hear Donald Trump say what sounded suspiciously like “bad hombres,” in reference to his assertion that The Wall will be all that stands between us and annihilation by the unwashed masses that are clamoring to overrun our southern border, in order to trade […]
Trump Plays the Ultimate Game
August 29, 2016
Life in the Boomer Lane has spent quite some time now, being pummeled by the behavior of Donald Trump. She has listened to one Trumper after another explain why he’s their guy. She has heard two themes over and over: The fist is that Trump is a successful businessman/He is rich. He will do for us […]
A Phone Conversation Between Trump and His Financial Advisor
August 1, 2016
Joe, Donald here. I’m a little bit upset. And, as you know, no one can get as little bit upset as I can. It’s really extraordinary, when you think about it. I know, Donald. Can you get to the point? That Kahn person, who lost his son in Afghanistan, spoke at the Dem’s convention and […]

A Valentine for POTUS
February 6, 2017
41
Dear POTUS, This year, I’m sending you a Valentine, not because I love you or respect you, but because I love my country. And you are the duly-elected symbol of that country. You may not know that I love my country, since I’m not in the pro-life movement, I don’t attend church, fear […]
