a heroic contemplation of the possibility of leadership (I’m thinking about having a dream)


“Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s approval rating has dropped to 38%, according to the latest CNN poll, and the president is ‘desperate to turn things around’, to the point where he’s reportedly considered delivering a speech to the nation on race and unity. Yes, they’re considering it – a heroic contemplation of the possibility of leadership. It reminds me of Dr King’s immortal words: ‘I’m thinking about having a dream.’” —Stephen Colbert

“While Trump contemplated, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden spoke up, delivering a moving virtual eulogy for George Floyd at a memorial service in Houston on Tuesday. You see, President Trump? It’s possible to bring people to tears at church without having to release pepper spray. And the Vice-President did the one thing that the President fears the most: Biden didn’t mention the name Donald Trump once. Let’s hope very soon, we can all do the same.” —Stephen Colbert

“It makes sense that Trump doesn’t get it. He’s like a lot of soft-brained 73-year-old men who watch nothing but Fox News. Tucker Carlson is arguing on Fox News that America is ‘not a racist country.’ Right, but didn’t you want to build a wall to keep those immigrants out of … oh, nevermind. He’s right! America’s fine, we have no problems at all. Those people marching in the streets? They’re just getting exercise.” —Jimmy Kimmel

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 
A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”

once I run out of toilet paper, the next thing I’m grabbing is a stack of 1040s (Trumped the shark)


“It seems possible we could be cooped up for quite some time. The government is now saying this could last 18 months or longer. Which, I’m not sure how many rolls of toilet paper that is, but I know I don’t have them. Eighteen months of quarantine means we’re about to see a lot of our friends’ real hair color.” —Jimmy Kimmel

“President Trump, just shut up already and let the doctors take over. Seriously, you Trumped the shark. Go away.” —Jimmy Kimmel

“I heard that Emergen-C – you know, the drink powder? – they’re telling people to not mix their product with booze to make quarantinis. They were like, if you want a quarantini, that’s Nyquil, Dayquil and a splash of Tide Pod. But here’s some good news: today is the first day of spring. Yay! Now Americans get to play a fun game: allergies or coronavirus?” —Jimmy Fallon

“And finally, the federal government has pushed back the tax deadline by 90 days – I think that’s a good idea because, trust me, once I run out of toilet paper, the next thing I’m grabbing is a stack of 1040s.” —Jimmy Fallon

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 
A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”

Madden: Indianapolis Colts vs Jacksonville Jaguars



I have been working on a paper for the Education Market. The paper talks about using video games as a teaching tool for children with learning disabilities. The age demographic would be 8 to 18. Games could be up to the teacher or student to choose. Games might include soccer, football, basketball, etc.

Students could learn about various historical or fictional characters and create them as players for their team. It would allow the student to study history, philosophy, religion, sports, popular culture, etc. and then create the characters to be a part of their team. The students would even be able to play alongside their created characters.

On some of the teams historical figures like Martin Luther King, and Abraham Lincoln will play on the same team with authors like Ernest Hemingway and William Shakespeare, or Elvis Presley and Tupac Shakur. 

The process is meant to be a simple and fun way for kids to learn subjects such as world history, literature, poetry, art, music, science and vocabulary. Maybe PS4/XBOX machines might be donated or discounted to schools for these classes. More on the paper as it is fleshed out. Enjoy the simulations.

Also for sentimental reasons, some fallen friends and family are on this team. Semper Fi. May you rest in peace.
