Hello, Dalai
Wednesday July 23, 2008 by Maralyn Lois Polak -- Whew! Whatta week. None other than THE Dalai Lama came and went just a half block away from my house. Right, the charming brick townhouse I have yet to sell because "The Universe" has not "TOLD" me if it's "time to leave yet" or "where to go next." Good thing, because suddenly a Living Deity, or ...

Here comes my Inner Republican
Wednesday July 16, 2008 by Maralyn Lois Polak -- Suddenly, they're selling them everywhere! Those trendy fabric shopping bags you take to the supermarket for groceries, so you can bypass plastic OR paper! Oh, no, Mr. Bill! And when I purchase my usual store-brand bargain roll of, pardon the expression, CVS toilet tiss ...

Bush-wah's impeachment in Madame Marie's crystal ball?
Wednesday July 09, 2008 by Maralyn Lois Polak -- Madame Marie, fabled Asbury Park boardwalk fortune teller, passed away at the age of 93 right before Independence Day. Her death was ironic since she became famous from Bruce ...

The presidency: 'Monkey god' in the middle?
Wednesday July 02, 2008 by Maralyn Lois Polak -- You can be sure presidential candidate Barack Obama is not the only one in America with a Hanuman monkey-god keychain bouncing around in his back pocket. So why condemn him for idol worship or worse? How narrow-minded, insular and jingoistic have some of us become? Don't answer that! Since when ...

Doughnut-ology: Will Bush-Wah convert?
Wednesday June 25, 2008 by Maralyn Lois Polak -- I'm trying to wrap my mind around the possibility of our putative Presi-Dunce as a later-life convert to Catholicism, perhaps following the example of his diplomatic mentor/erstwhile poodle T ...

The presidency: Knight of the living dead?
Wednesday June 18, 2008 by Maralyn Lois Polak -- I'm sitting in an Indian restaurant the night their flat-screen TV's playing the smug, smooth, self-congratulatory Hillary "Aren't I great but I'm dropping out of the campaign" Clinton road-show, and it's kind of sickening, like watching a festering sore on someone's knee ooze pus. Forg ...

Fathers and sons: The last martini
Wednesday June 11, 2008 by Maralyn Lois Polak -- In the spirit of Father's Day, let's celebrate dads. Mine, for taking me fishing, even though I threw everything back. Someone else I know slightly – a local photographer/professor/poet/ex-priest – recalled how his father always had a martini every day of his life, until he wa ...

Animal instincts: Another city tail
Wednesday June 04, 2008 by Maralyn Lois Polak -- You walk past the animal clinic where you've been bringing your current cat – an 11-year-old former stray tabby – for a decade of top-notch veterinary care. All in all, you've gone there nearly 25 years with various animal companions, including the late lamented Freda Johnson Wond ...

The PresiDunce's obscene war
Wednesday May 28, 2008 by Maralyn Lois Polak -- In case you haven't noticed, the Bush-Wah administration made Memorial Day into a mockery. Besides the ever-escalating numbers of Iraq war dead in a pointless and fraudulent military action based on lies, fraud, greed and distortion, we now know, in the words of this Washington Post headline sent ...

Radioactive love?
Wednesday May 21, 2008 by Maralyn Lois Polak -- Let's call them "Dick and Jane" for purposes of privacy. When Dick, Jane's beloved, was diagnosed with prostate cancer, it was a shock to both of them. Although he's the one with the prostate, they both had to make their adjustments. He had to decide on a treatment, the biggie, a decision determi ...
