The Problem With Experts
#91
Last Saturday at 8:55 PM

In case you still believe that so-called experts have the publics best interests at heart, this episode will make you think twice.

In areas that include education, healthcare, law enforcement and government, we've been lorded over by credentialed morons whose asinine policy proscriptions have taken this country backwards. I provide numerous examples to make my point and hope I did it in a way to make you chuckle once or twice.

And there are a multitude of headlines as well, poking fun at humanity in all of its imperfection. So, sit back and enjoy!


You Just Can't Make This Stuff Up
#90
04/26/2025

As promised this episode contains headlines only. They include the usual deviants including, but not limited to, corrupt politicians, corrupt judges, corrupt school boards, and corrupt entertainers.

So let the corruption engulf you and have a few laughs while you do. Enjoy!


Know Them by Their Deeds
#89
04/22/2025

Yes. I'm back from my cruise and have been able to take a bit of a breather from work.

Get ready for some bashing of Democrats as I highlight their subservience to illegals that are criminals and gang members. They are spending their political capital on thugs who've been deported and are ignoring the things regular old citizens keep telling pollsters they care about.

I also discuss some other things recently in the news like that all woman space flight, the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord and AOC seemingly running for...


Incompetence, Insouciance and Ingratitude
#88
04/02/2025

Yes, I'm back again with another episode. Prepare for a multitude of headlines that deal with sleazy politicians, sleazy pastors, sleazy teachers and a host of other sleazeballs.

In the meat and potatoes portion of the episode I'll give you my perspective on the recent Signalgate fiasco, rouge federal judges and the hatred being directed at Elon Musk.

So, put down whatever it is that you're doing and pay close attention if you want to learn something and have a chuckle or two while doing it.


Change Happens (But I Don't Have to Like it!)
#87
03/16/2025

I figured I'd give politics a rest (for the most part) and discuss the change that has transpired over several decades to our culture. From sports to movies to social issues the transformation has been significant. Decide for yourself whether these changes have been for the better or worse.

There are lots of headlines that deal with the usual. Horny adults, corrupt politicians, police and their relation to donuts, bottle rockets in the nuts and so much more.

Enjoy!


This is What Democracy Looks Like
#86
03/09/2025

Lots has happened since Trump took the oath and most everything he's done was promised during his campaign. The Democrats are in full dudgeon and gave America every reason to keep them from gaining power again with their antics during Trump's address to Congress. With a touch of wit here and there I review all of it.

There is also a plethora of headlines dealing with the usual. Stranded astronauts, perverted teachers, crooked politicians and their offspring, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Alas, don't expect to hear anything about Sean Diddy, P Diddy, Puff Daddy, Puffy Combs.

...


Headlines, Headlines and More Headlines
#85
02/27/2025

As the Mrs. and I have been entertaining this week I haven't had an opportunity to put together my usual rant about the political scene, so all you're getting this episode are headlines, with a very brief rant at the end.

The headlines include the usual grouping of idiots, murderers, politicians, and malcontents. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish one from another. I hope you can experience a chuckle or two as you wonder how humanity hasn't already died off. Enjoy!


Shedding the Yoke of Woke
#84
02/15/2025

I provide a rundown of the DOGE enterprise and some of what they found while searching through government pay systems. There's been billions of dollars spent on all sorts of woke nonsense and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will all soon come to an end.

In addition to pointing out what we know to this point as to the criminal enterprise that is our federal government, including out judiciary, I take a good shot at the NFL.

And there are headlines galore skewering all sorts of human foibles. Enjoy!


Leftism and Evil
#83
02/09/2025

In this episode I provide what I hope is a legitimate argument as to why I believe the political Left is evil and not just misguided. As evidence I discuss their efforts at mainstreaming transgenderism, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs and their inglorious record of ruining Americas cities.

And there are lots of headlines, some including your favorites, and others touching on the casual lunacy that is humanity. So, sit back and enjoy especially if you get bored watching the Super Bowl (I mean The Big Game).


Meeting My Deadline for Headlines
#82
02/02/2025

As promised this episode is comprised of nearly 100% headlines. Headlines dealing with murder, corrupt politicians, groundhogs, royalty, afro's and so much more.

So sit back and enjoy!


There's a New Sheriff in Town
#81
01/27/2025

Sorry for keeping you waiting three weeks for a new episode, but I was busy.

No headlines in this episode, just a recap of Joe Bidens last week in office and Donald Trump's first. You'll also hear my brief synopsis of all the films nominated for best picture for the Academy Awards.

Enjoy!


A New Year's Ramble
#80
01/07/2025

Wow, I'm cranking these babies out once a week lately, but don't get used to it.

For a treat I answer questions provided by you listeners including some predictions for the new year. And there are oodles of headlines to boot.

Please enjoy!


Extra, Extra Read All About It
#79
12/31/2024

My tendency toward laziness has reared its ugly head once more and all I have to show for this episode are headlines... lots of headlines.

The cover the usual panoply of politics and crime (but I repeat myself). There are several, however, that highlight the stress that delivery drivers experience at this time of year and the garden variety lunacy that pervades our institutions.

Enjoy and have a very Happy New Year!


The Rhyme of the Ancient Contrarian
#78
12/24/2024

No headlines this episode, but a special treat instead. An epic poem for your consideration.

Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas and I hope you enjoy.!


All You Need is Love... and Lots of Headlines
#77
12/12/2024

It's been a busy week of traveling, and I didn't have time to put together the usual scintillating type of episode you're used to, so all you're getting are headlines.

Enjoy!


A Cabinet Full of Interesting Cookies
#76
12/06/2024

I go over a good chunk of the picks Trump has made for his administration and how the wind is blowing regarding their confirmations.

That and more headlines than you can shake a stick at, though I have no idea why you'd want to shake a stick at just about anything.

Enjoy!


The First Thanksgiving
#75
11/27/2024

As turkey day rolls around I thought it would be befitting to tell teh tale of the First Thanksgiving. Get a new take on why the Mayflower set sail and the travails experienced by the Pilgrims in their new land.

I explain how they got along with the native population and the evolution of one of our greatest national holidays.

And yes, there are oodles upon oodles of headlines to make you wonder if the human species is currently in the process of devolution.

Enjoy and have a Very Happy Thanksgiving!


Springtime for Hitler (Part Zwei)
#74
11/17/2024

This episode provides a follow up on the previous one as I decided more gloating was in order. I try to explain how the election went nearly exactly as I thought and why the experts were mostly wrong. I update the election results and what that means for the bigger picture.

On top of that there is even more gloating and, of course, a whole slew of headlines that confirm all that is fallible in the human condition. Enjoy!


Springtime for Hitler
#73
11/09/2024

Sorry, but no headlines this episode. Just a quick slapdash rehash of my unparalleled ability to predict political outcomes. Enjoy!


Exceeding the Margin of Fraud
#72
10/29/2024

Take a seat, get a pencil and paper ready, and be sure to write down my predictions for the House, Senate and Presidency. I also discuss the campaign happenings of both candidates over the past two weeks.

Yes, there are a copious number of headlines as well, so give a listen and thank all that is holy that this will all soon be over.


Turning the Page
#71
10/22/2024

Both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are calling for change and a turning of the page. Well, I've got plenty of ideas as to where those pages need to be turned.

So, sit back and enjoy my campaign advice and oodles of headlines that cover the human experience from soup to nuts.


The Billion Dollar Woman
#70
10/13/2024

The coming election and Kamala Harris' recent media blitz are the subject today. I give you my take on her appearances on the Call Her Daddy podcast as well as TV shows including The View, Stephen Colbert and 60 Minutes. You also get my latest predictions on the national races.

There are lots of headlines of course, so sit back and enjoy (and don't get up to any household chores while listening!).


The Days of Awe
#69
10/07/2024

On top of headlines to do with the usual subjects I provide the latest on Israel and the Middle East and how that is playing out in the bigger picture. I also go over the recent vice-presidential debate and give my opinion as to why I think JD Vance showed Republicans how it's done.

Enjoy!


It's Not Easy Being Dyspeptic
#68
09/26/2024

Just sit back and enjoy a rehash of 248 years of American History... well, sort of. Prepare for the usual ranting about the situation we find ourselves in.

I included lots and lots of headlines in order to make the ranting more tolerable.

No pardon me while I dodge some raindrops.


Move Along... Nothing to See Here
#67
09/22/2024

I apologize for not having headlines this episode, but technology wasn't cooperating.

I jabber on about the second Trump assassination attempt, where the campaign stands at the minute, North Carolina's gubernatorial race, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Sean Combs and the Jewish state.

Enjoy!


The ABC's of the Debate
#66
09/11/2024

No headlines in this episode, just a quick recap of last night's debate. Enjoy!


The Reason(s) for The Dyspeptic Contrarian
#65
09/08/2024

With nothing much going on in the presidential campaign this week, except for more dyed in the wool Republicans coming out for Kamala Harris, I decided to regale you with the origin story of the Dyspeptic Contrarian.

You've heard me rant about a lot of this before, so please forgive me. I just figured that these things were important enough to bare repeating.

There are lots of headlines as well, so please sit back and enjoy and be grateful that for all its faults we still inhabit the greatest country on Earth.


Can the Con Continue?
#64
08/31/2024

In this episode you'll get my two cents on how Kamala Harris performed in her first (and, potentially, only interview) and if she and her party can successfully continue to foll the American people.

And yes, there are a plethora of headlines to make your head spin. Enjoy!


The Pretension Convention
#63
08/25/2024

The episodes focus is on the recently completed Democratic National Convention. I provide lowlights (or if you prefer, highlights) of the speeches made by various party retreads like the Clintons and Obamas, as well the some of the goofballs that we have to look out for in the future.

There are also headlines galore to let you know that the current lunacy that's taken hold of this country is in no danger of abating. Enjoy!


Ballz to the Walz
#62
08/15/2024

Kamala has chosen her running mate; Great Britain is in turmoil and the Olympics have drawn to a close. I try to make sense of all three this episode.

And there are oodles of headlines that will make you wish that you were born at a different time (and on a different planet!). I hope you enjoy!


Faster, Higher, Dumber
#61
08/03/2024

In this episode I provide you with my two cents on the Olympics, Kamala Harris, the media and Pete Rose.

And the headlines are back, so sit back, have a drink or a smoke and enjoy!


A Well-Deserved Victory Lap
#60
07/26/2024

I use this episode to revel in my bold Joe Biden prediction coming true. I provide some reasons as to why I made the prediction that he wouldn't be the Democrat nominee in the coming election and why people who claim to be in-the-know missed all the signs.

I chat some about the continuing default of the legacy media and how they continue to be cheerleaders for the Democrats and touch on the resignation of Kim Cheatle, former supervisor of the Secret Service.

I also share a bit of the vacation that Mrs. Contrarian and...


Bullets Over Butler
#59
07/24/2024

I apologize up front, but there will be no headlines in this episode. I figured that discussing the ten commandments, the lack of college student's understanding of American History and how our government works, and one more thing.... oh, yeah, the attempted assassination of Donald Trump would provide more than enough laughs. Enjoy!


Order in the Court... Finally!!
#58
07/10/2024

The Supreme Court handed down many important decisions at the end of their term and I discuss how they help restrain our administrative state and hopefully return more power to the people and our elected representatives.

I also provide an update on the movement of people from blue states to red and the big dollars that they bring with them.

There are also headlines galore dealing with the usual nonsense that we humans insist on perpetrating. So, sit back, relax and enjoy!


Heads We Win, Tails You Lose
#57
07/04/2024

Enjoy an abbreviated episode for the latest of the fallout from Joe Biden's debate debacle.

No headlines... just a pre-holiday hit and run.

No Country for Old Men
#56
07/01/2024

Besides a slew of headlines, I give you my take on presidential debate that shook the world. Enough said.

Enjoy (if you can).


Whatever Works!
#55
06/21/2024

In this episode I wonder aloud as to whether living under an emperor would be better for reversing our current decline, than our Constitutional Republic. I discuss the pros and cons and, well. you can make up your own mind.

Headlines deal with the usual nonsense. Stupid criminals and politicians (it's getting more difficult to tell the difference), and the usual mishigas.

And I end with a tribute to a baseball player who was incomparable. So, take 45 minutes of your hectic day to have a laugh and take solace in knowing that as bad as...


Good and Evil Aren't Just a Matter of Black and White
#54
06/15/2024

In this episode I discuss two stories, the Israeli hostage rescue and the Caitlin Clark obsession, that have taken up lots of airtime this past week or so, and how they are perfect examples of how the media amplifies the leftist perspective.

There's also the usual slew of headlines that will make your head spin. So, relax, sip on the beverage of your choice and decide whether to laugh or cry (or both, simultaneously). Enjoy!


Show Me the Man and I'll Show You the Crime
#53
06/06/2024

Along with the usual headlines that deal with the incompetence of our political class, the dementia of our president and the casual insanity that has infected life in general, I share my jaundiced eye view of the proceedings and its potential aftermath.

And just to liven things up a bit I provide a comparison of America to both the Roman Republic and Roman Empire. So, sit back and enjoy the cynicism!
