Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt, pull up a chair, I’ve got a wonderful dark rum for you to try.   Look, when I started this little series of talks, it was never my intent to be primarily a political commentator. Yeah, I know that seems hard to believe, but it’s true.   This place is supposed to be about ...

  Welcome back to the scuttlebutt. Have a seat, get a drink, and let’s talk about funding, shipbuilding, and Navy stuff.   The Navy just got spanked.  I mean taken to the woodshed.  Secretary of Defense Esper removed the Navy’s ability to decide what our future fleet looks like.  He has appointed a “Future Navy Force Study group that ...

  Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt.   Today we’re going to discuss racism and sexism, and all those other isms… But here’s the thing, half the folks that rail against those isms are themselves guilty as fuck of the very thing they rail against.  I’m going to use two prime examples that have crossed my line of sight ...

Hey you guys, here we are, another week is in the books and hopefully it finds each us of finding a somewhat new and awakened way of seeing life. I know that this journey of writing and talking about life is growing me as an individual and  I am excited to see what I learn ...

  Bret Hart's uncensored tirade....           Thanks to: DoubleZWWE (TheDoubleZTV)

    Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt. Have a beer, let’s talk.   So many targets, so little time. Gosh, there’s a lot of things we could talk about this week, on the political front, on the Naval front (Norway lost a Destroyer to a collision in port for one) and so on…   But let me instead do a movie ...

  Welcome back to the scuttlebutt,  Have a cup of coffee and pull up a chair, this is not a booze moment, this is dead serious stuff.   See that map up there? The counties or cities that have county like status in the Commonwealth of Virginia in various shades of green have passed “second amendment sanctuary status” laws.  ...

  Welcome back to the scuttlebutt.   Look, seriously, I would love to get back to doing pieces on Navy shit and Nerdy shit, and Science Fiction.  But we’re still in lockdown, there are no movies being released, and everywhere I turn, there are fools, saying foolish shit, so here we are.   I’ve made no secret of the fact ...

I am quoted inside Dove Chocolate’s candy wrapper. I think I found the submission invitation just scrolling through on Instagram one day. I smiled and thought, “hey that looks fun, and that would be really cool!” not realistically thinking they would ever actually choose mine. I honestly forgot all about it until I came home ...
