Ed Schmidt and a lesson that stuck

Back when I was a kid in Mahopac, N.Y., I had a youth sports coach named Ed Schmidt. I can’t remember whether this was baseball, basketball or soccer, but at the end of the season Mr. Schmidt (a warm, gregarious man) treated the entire team to a post-final game visit

Mitt Romney’s Cock

So, to be honest, I wasn’t planning on writing about Mitt Romney’s cock, but then I noticed Roger Stone was yet again trending on Twitter. It was for writing this offering on Parler about the Utah senator … I, personally, do not know what Mitt Romney’s cock smells like—but I

The last hand I shook

This is a photograph of the last hand I shook. It belongs to Chili Davis, longtime Major League slugger and current hitting coach for the New York Mets. I spoke with Davis last March, outside the batting cages at the Mets’ spring training facility in Port St. Lucie. We stood

What I wrote

I have kept a regular diary beginning in 1996. Earlier today, I was curious what I wrote after the 2016 presidential election. I wasn’t wrong. 11/8/ 16 Devastated. That’s what I am right now. Devastated. Donald Trump, the world’s biggest conman, has just been elected 45th president of the United

This is one of the most jarring sights from Wednesday’s hellscape. I just saw it this morning, and I’m still shaken. The man in the black is John Minchillo, an Associated Press photographer who was sent to cover the nightmare and—having experienced conflict zones in the past—knew how to dress

Gary Player and Annika Sorenstam showed up

In case you missed this (and, considering the world’s melting, you likely did), earlier today Donald Trump presented Gary Player and Annika Sorenstam with Presidential Medals of Freedom. The ceremony took place behind closed doors, and Player and Sorenstam were two of three golf recipients—the late Babe Zaharias was the

What happened to Ashli Babbitt?

Ashli Babbitt served in the Air Force. Yesterday, she was famously shot while storming the U.S. Capitol. Now she is dead. On social media, many were celebrating Babbitt’s death. I hate that. I’m sure I would have disliked much about Babbitt, but she leaves behind family, friends, people who cared

Twitter, be righteous

It is time for Twitter to delete Donald Trump’s account. I don’t take pleasure in writing such a thing. The president is, obviously, an important figure, and citizens want to hear what he’s thinking and planning and doing. But this has gone on long enough. These days, all Trump does

Get a life

So it seems fights are breaking out in downtown Los Angeles—#MAGA idiots v. anti-#MAGA idiots. And on behalf of all those not present, I’d like to say the following: Get a life. Truly, get a life. This is how you resolve differences? By curling up your hand and turning it
