Men, when they are young, tend to wake up with a morning glory. Unfortunately, that joyful event dissipates with age and Trump is well past that age. However, it would seem that he has replaced that with his peculiar mental hard-ons that he wakes up with in the wee-wee hours of the morning. His recent […] The post A Quick SMAC #22: Trump’s Early Morning Glory appeared first on The Casual Observer…
Throughout history there have always been people who scandalize society either to make a point or, more commonly, to self-promote. Unfortunately, in this modern social media world of clicks where people aspire to be celebrities or influencers rather than astronauts, doctors or engineers, the trend to get noticed has exploded. One current trend is for […] The post A Quick SMAC #21: Bumps that Jar…
Being a Settler in an undeveloped land with unfriendly neighbours to their east, non-existent infrastructure and a paucity of work opportunities apart from farming their land, would they not only survive but thrive? Ultimately not being unscrupulous opportunists but the opposite, hard working entrepreneurs, the Reed family would rise to the challenge and thrive. Sailing […] The post Port Elizabeth…
The chronicle of Stanley Bergman’s life transcends the abyss of Nazi Germany, apartheid South End tonwardvo Wall Street in the USA. Survival under the former circumstances depends upon lavish doses of mental fortitude supplemented by moral clarity. As Stanley was only born in Port Elizabeth, he never had to endure the intemperate bully-like behaviour of […] The post Qqeberha of Today – Stanley…
On Sunday, 19 August, Infantino the Terrible awarded Trump his last ball and gave him a golden shower which took Trump back to the heady days of 2013.

With shades of Einstein’s relativity of time and distance dilation at high speeds, what relevance does this seemingly illogical question relating time and distance have to the Port Elizabeth of Yore blog. Patience dear reader, all will be revealed. Robert Jacob Gordon executed many expeditions into the interior of the Cape Colony. Of particular interest […] The post Port Elizabeth of Yore: How Far…
It is doubtful that Trump reads and, if he does, he definitely doesn’t read for meaning. In fact, he probably considers it demeaning, after all possessing the world’s greatest intellect means that nobody can teach him anything. So, it is quite ironic that he is going to build a huge presidential library. Ok, ok. A […] The post A Quick SMAC #19: Reading for Meaning appeared first on The Casual…
Size matters a lot to Trump. It’s the only metric he’s interested in. Superlatives are his stock trade when talking about himself and, in the negative sense, about others. So let us put aside the many disastrous issues surrounding his latest pet project – the Lincoln Reflecting Pool. Let’s forget about the no-bid contracts that […] The post A Quick SMAC #18: Size Matters appeared first on The…
Many people have had a species named after them and it is normally considered an honour. If Trump had known about it, he would have sought that honour as he likes to put his Trump stamp on everything except it would have to be on something dominating like a new species of lion.
