All the Pretty Angels

June 25, 2025 by Sean Dietrich

When I was a kid, my mother believed in angels, but I didn’t. I was on the fence about angels. I didn’t believe in hocus pocus. My thought was, if angels were real, then why were they always the worst team in the Major Leagues?

Two Brothers

June 23, 2025 by Sean Dietrich

Friends of the family say the boys couldn’t sit still without vibrating. They were always getting into something. To call them “bad” kids would be unfair. They weren’t bad. Not at all. They were simply professional hellraisers.

I Believe in Dog

June 22, 2025 by Sean Dietrich

My dogs sleep all day. It’s just what they do. Except when they’re busy chewing up my 48th pair of reading glasses. They sleep, sleep, sleep. And amazingly, after a full day of sleeping, they don’t feel guilty about it. Not even a little.

June 21, 2025 by Greg Maresca

As Russia and Ukraine battle, the ongoing three-year horrific account of Russians pilfering Ukrainian children is finally being reported. Both The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times tell the story of the nearly 20,000 Ukrainian children that were forcibly kidnapped from their homes by Russia’s occupying army.

Questions from the Choir

June 20, 2025 by Sean Dietrich

I receive a lot of questions every day. I wish I could answer them all. But if I actually tried to answer every message, email, letter, smoke signal, etc., I’d need a permanent ureteral catheter installed.

Dear Loved One

June 19, 2025 by Sean Dietrich

This is weird. I realize this. But I wanted to write to you, dear loved one. Namely, because I’ve been dead for some time now. And the way I left this world happened so fast. So unexpected.

A Deathbed Conversion

June 18, 2025 by Sean Dietrich

The 18-year-old girl was in the hospital room. Her bed sat amidst a forest of hissing machines and blinking lights. The young preacher knew he’d found the right room. He straightened his tie. This was the hardest part of his job.

The 14-year-old boy cried as he knelt beside his bedside, clasping his hands together. He sobbed, imploring the heavens for a miracle.

It’s 2025 and We Still Have 1-7/8” and 2” Hitch Balls? Who Hurt Us?

June 14, 2025 by David T. Cloft

America: land of freedom, innovation, and baffling trailer ball sizes. We split the atom, landed on the moon, and built an internet where people argue about pineapple on pizza—but somehow, we still can’t agree on a standard trailer hitch ball.

The Tomato Elegy

June 14, 2025 by Sean Dietrich

Tomatoes are my favorite “non-vegetable” vegetable. I was recently informed by a smart person that tomatoes are—technically—a “fruit” because they are the ripened “ovary” of a flowering plant. But that’s just weird.

Don’t Worry About DC’s Streets. They Will Be Just Fine

June 15, 2025June 14, 2025 by Mike Ford

The party known for happily paying 40 percent more (of taxpayer funds) for roads than necessary is somehow very concerned that the tanks and other tracked vehicles in the parade, will tear up the streets.

The Night the Lights Went out in Alabama

June 13, 2025 by Sean Dietrich

The electricity went out. I don’t know why it happened. It wasn’t storming. The weather was nice. All I know is I was watching TV when the lamps suddenly flickered and died. And that was that.

The Argument I Had in the Supermarket

June 12, 2025 by Sean Dietrich

I got into an argument at the supermarket. This is how volatile our world is right now. It was in the checkout line. My opponent was not only clueless, but pigheaded, refusing all logic. The fact that my opponent is only 9 is no excuse.

A Few Observations on the Violent Protests in Los Angeles

Living Behind Enemy Lines, Tale #29: Washington State Hires BLM Head To Hunt Down "White Supremacists"

Don’t let the legacy media scam you by calling the Los Angeles immigration riots “mostly peaceful.” They are not. They are mostly violent and exceedingly destructive.

A Simple Exercise

June 10, 2025 by Sean Dietrich

Simply close your eyes and think of your favorite thing in the whole world besides queso dip. Okay. Got it? Now you’re going to have to open your eyes again because these paragraphs aren’t going to read themselves.

The Art of Porch Sitting

June 7, 2025 by Sean Dietrich

I come from a long line of porch sitters. This is why I am always on my porch. In my neighborhood, I am affectionately known as “that weirdo freak who’s always on his porch.” This is usually said in a positive way.
