Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt.   Pull up a bucket, pour a cup, lets chat.   I considered doing a piece on some of the stupider ideas that are now in vogue for Democratic presidential candidates, but it’s been a rough day, (looks like I’m going to have to tear out the upstairs shower to fix a plumbing leak ...

The other morning at Starbucks started out like any other day. A bazillion and one frappucinos had been made, we had killed the store record for fastest wait times in drive thru and I was finally going on my break. I was so hungry, tired, disheveled looking and covered in syrup.  The last thing ...

  Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt.   Pull up a chair, get a cuppa, and let’s talk.  If you’ve been coming here for a while you know that the title means we’re going to be discussing multiple topics today.  If you haven’t been coming here for a while, what took you? Welcome.   So, let’s start with the idiot above ...

Please, allow me to introduce myself.   I’ve grown up in Brazil listening to the popular saying mentioned above all the time: “Tell me whom you hangout with and I will tell you who you are”, I’ve been told over and over again. It took me 28 years of life to see it crystal-clear and to accept ...

  Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt. Here’s the popcorn, and some raisinettes, let's burn a flick.   OK so first I’ll try to avoid spoilers, as is my won't because I hate them.  That said, there’s so many out there already, you will probably already know some of what I’m talking about.   First thing out of the gate, to ...

  Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt. Pull up a bucket and cop a squat.   Ya’ know, some weeks it’s hard to be a pundit, sometimes because there’s not much worth writing about.  Other times it’s because you have an embarrassment of riches.   This week has been the latter.  I’m desperately tempted to hit the court-martial of the officer ...

  Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt.  It’s the morning of 4 July 4, 2018 as I write this.  I have a cup of coffee at my left hand. Please join me in some, or if it’s later in the day, feel free to have something stronger if you’ve a mind.   Back nearly 250 years ago, one of ...

  Good Morning and welcome back to the Scuttlebutt!   I find it amusing that the same crew that thinks “The Post”, a movie about publishing the data from five thousand plus pages of Top Secret documents, data that got American Troops killed, and arguably cost us the war in Vietnam was a “brave and heroic act”.  While ...

Good Morning and welcome back to the Scuttlebutt! Cop a squat, and lets talk for a second about tax cuts.  So, I’ve read a lot of claims lately about how this proposed tax cut currently being negotiated before a final up down vote by both houses is a “Bad thing” ™.  “It was passed in the ...
