IN-VLAD-ED

The following was printed two days ago (April 4) in The Boise Weekly. Owing to
cut-backs in BW’s operations, it will be the last column of mine to be published
by that paper. It has been my pleasure and an honor to be associated with the
various owners, publishers and editors over the last 23…

ANNIE IN MY LIFE; CHAPTER 42

The following was printed (The Boise Weekly) on April 5, 2006. Daddy’s Little
Career Girl Believe it or not, it’s been almost a full year since I wrote a word
on these pages about my child. My girl. “Pum’kin,” as we used to call her. There
was a time when I couldn’t get through a…

LET’S SAY YOU WORKED AT KBOI …

What with the recent—very recent—attention being paid to the influence of the
right-wing bullshit mill operating under the name of SINCLAIR BROADCASTING, I
have decided to re-run this opinion, originally posted on Mr. Cope’s Cave in mid
August of last year.  I am convinced most firmly that by forcing the corporate
employees (including the compliant…

ANNIE IN MY LIFE: CHAPTER 41

The following was printed (The Boise Weekly) on August 31, 2005 Band-aid: What’s
the Price of Geekdom? I have to get this done quick. Before my daughter comes
back. She’s on a two-day bus trip to Spokane for a marching band competition and
I need to be totally finished and have it off my screen…

A SUMMARY OF EVERY BOISE, IDAHO, TELEVISION STATION ON WHICH THE LOCAL NEWS
BROADCASTS IS FAR SUPERIOR TO WHAT PASSES FOR NEWS ON KBOI-CHANNEL 2: 

All of ’em! Of course, there aren’t that many stations in Boise that provide
local news coverage. I count five, and that includes the PBS channel, where once
or twice a week, you might get a half-hour of reporting on the legislature or an
interview with a local poet—something that can be called “news” only…

ANNIE IN MY LIFE: CHAPTER 40

The following was printed (The Boise Weekly) on August 31, 2005 Fairly
Distracting: The Parable of Moses and the Shed A story I think quite delightful
has come to my attention. It concerns Moses Alexander, Idaho’s governor from
1915 to 1919. He was a Democrat, as all of Idaho’s good  governors have been,
and the…

A GLIMPSE OF WHAT LIFE WAS LIKE IN BOISE 31 YEARS AGO

This afternoon, should you be milling about in the crowd on the Grove Plaza,
enjoying whatever ensemble of guitar thumpers happens to be there this week, and
for whatever reason, you begin to wonder when the first “Alive After Five” took
place and what sort of entertainment was offered … way-yulllll, do I have a…

THE CIRCUS IN SINGAPORE: WHO WAS THE RINGMASTER?

I’d like to think Americans are getting sick of conspiracy theories. If you have
a robust enough intellect to understand that cheesy shock jocks like Alex Jones,
Glenn Beck, and, of course, Trump, have thoroughly perverted truth and decency
by vomiting out their copious conspiracy theories so incessantly that many of
our most un-thoughtful neighbors…

ONE THING WE MAY WANT TO CONSIDER IN PONDERING THE QUESTION OF WHETHER SAMANTHA
BEE’S OFFENSIVE REMARK IS AS OFFENSIVE AS ROSEANNE BARR’S OFFENSIVE REMARK

The highly-accomplished Valerie Jarrett is neither a Muslim, an ape, nor the
impossible spawn of a radical Muslim faction and a movie franchise, while
Daddy’s Little Heartthrob, Ivanka … by all the evidence of her insensitivity,
actions, attitudes, and remarkable lack of accomplishment … is, indeed,
essentially a … uh, er … pretty much what…

ANNIE IN MY LIFE: EPILOGUE

The following was printed (The Boise Weekly) on January 4, 2012. This is the
final chapter of Annie In My Life, and if you have been reading this “book” from
the beginning you will recognize much of the material here-in from the
Introduction, 48 weeks ago. I borrowed sections from this column to include in…

ANNIE IN MY LIFE: CHAPTER 47

The following was printed (The Boise Weekly) on August 27, 2008 Full Circle: A
Mandala of Moscow and Mink Oil A funny thing happened back when I was a college
freshman, 43 years ago. It wasn’t so funny at the time, as it involved me being
accused of shoplifting. But in retrospect—especially after what happened…

ANNIE IN MY LIFE: CHAPTER 45

The following was printed (The Boise Weekly) on June 4, 2008   You Commence,
Girl! Once again, in line with a tradition that goes all the way back to when I
first made myself available to deliver emergency commencement addresses, I have
not been called on to deliver a commencement address. Emergency or any other…
