Lifelong liberal from Tennessee, currently living in peaceful Portugal. Enthusiastic traveler and musician. Hometown’s finest, probably only Hurdy-Gurdyist. Practicing sarcastician and lover of all things humorous. Non-snobby beer and food oficionado.
Donald Trump and FIFA is a match made in hell. Both are unashamedly corrupt, completely amoral and only interested in raking in more money. Neither care that they are destroying the beautiful game. They absolutely deserve each other.
Our favorite pizza place is across from the local Portuguese Communist Party HQ. Make of it what you will.
I’m going to throw the 6th symphony into the mix. He called other symphonies of the day elaborate cocktails, but he offered the 6th as a drink of cool, clear spring water. It is profoundly weird but definitely bracing. Britten, who was a fan said he must have been drunk while composing it.
Here’s how much value the dollar has lost to the Euro since Trump took office. Maybe trusting the economy to someone who managed numerous bankruptcies in the casino business was a bad idea
Why haven’t these two done more? Because, secretly they like it. They’re part of the most protected class in America. Laws don’t apply. Taxpayers fund the best healthcare available. Gerrymandered job security. What’s not to like? When an accounting comes, there’s blood on their hands too.
I live in Portugal and the French cars are in high demand. Here’s the Citroen Santa Claus used to reach my town’s market.
I do, it’s the best way to get a juicy, tasty turkey. And it’s safe if you use common sense.
We saw this in France. It provides shade from the sun and uses the sun to produce electricity. A win-win for any country actually interested in renewable energy.
Today’s lunch, Algarve style tuna steak with potatoes and beverage.
I’m an immigrant currently living in Portugal. The thing I love most about this wonderful country is how I have been received here. My Portuguese language skills are minuscule and I am obviously a foreigner. But all I have seen is kindness and welcoming. I’m seen as a person. It’s so refreshing.
I’m glad for the survival of the 13 year old Trump honored. I am also a cancer survivor, of a rare form that is 100% fatal without treatment. Luckily, Vanderbilt Medical Center utilized a procedure developed with NIH funding and research. Donald Trump has cut that funding. He’s a lying hypocrite.
Nearly 46,000 Palestinian men, women and children have been killed in Gaza. The president of the United States views this as a great real estate opportunity. The Riviera of the Middle East! It’s ethnic cleansing, something I would think Israelis and Jews around the world would find concerning.
My wife is German, she grew up in Munich after the war. She just said the most amazing thing. I was trying to understand why Trump is doing what he’s doing. She said she thinks he is doing Hitler’s final solution passively. Instead of the ovens take away medicine or info about disease. Not crazy.
No doubt good advice but feels a little harsh coming from a fortune cookie.
