In this episode I have the pleasure of talking with the former Dome Ranger, Dennis Brogan, who was seen roving the court and in the stands for Syracuse University basketball and Football during the glory years of the Big East of the 1980's. Dennis is a true renaissance man, in addition to being the Dome Ranger, he is an actor, former radio personality, political veteran who onetime held a high level position in a former city of Syracuse mayors office, and is an author. Don't spit in the wind and don't pull the mask of the Dome Ranger. timothymahar.org…

Political satire has been around as long as time, from Mark Twain, Will Rogers, and in my life-time, the Smothers Brothers, Rowan and Martin, Laugh-In, Saturday Night Live, all entertaining and informative, it goes hand in glove with politics. So, when CBS does cower, shrink like pair in a speedo coming out of the cold pool, and cancel "Late Night with Stephen Colbert" stating it is for financial reason, well the scent of limburger cheese is in the air. It is not the first time that CBS would buckle to the dollars, Edward R. Murrow experienced it when exposing Senator Joseph McCarthy's "Red Scare", (Good Night and Good Luck). The cancellation of the popular Smothers Brothers television program in 1969, because they made censors and sponsors nervous, with their political humor. Is the nightly news profitable, the morning show? Comedy is a refection of current events, some may not laugh, but many will think. timothymahar.org…

From Memorial Day through Labor Day, the outdoor grills come out and cooking outside mostly over a gas fabricated fire is the thing to do here in the Northeastern part of the U.S. From the time humans were able to control fire some 2 million years ago, outdoor cooking became a survival tool, than through our evolution a recreational activity. Make no mistake a man is king when cooking his meat over a fire! Yes, it is mostly a man thing around the grill just like millions of years ago, "stand back and let me cook", says the great hunter with his kill. We have evolved, from sticks, to sparks, to matches and lighter fluid, and now gas. I still like the taste and smell of lighter fluid on my hotdog! No more wood or charcoal, just a furnace, and a gas tank connected to some type of sparking device. It always tastes better when cooked over a fire, just like 2 million years ago, or so they say. timothymahar.org…

There longer are two political parties in this nation. What was once the Republican Party of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Eisenhower, and the Bush's is now a movement called MAGA. Oh yes, there are republican's in title that currently are the majority in the House and Senate, but make no mistake they are controlled by MAGA. They vote for self survival and not the interests of the nation. On the other side there is no longer a Democratic party. The party of FDR, Truman, JFK, LJB, Bobby (RFK ), Jimmy, Bill and Barack, has lost touch with the people that they fought for and were a part of. They became, elite lecture's who lost communication and do not know how to get it back. A group without a message. How appropriate that Independent voters will decide the future of this nation.

It seems that forever we have pleaded in the words of John Lennon's song: "All We Are Saying Is Give Peace A Chance," however it does not seem possible and why? Peace is not profitable, it does not feed the greed of few to help many. So, instead of working together as one, to improve all, we have war. Through the centuries weapons have evolved that can wipe out everyone, and the planet all at once. Peace, does not line the pockets and the feed the egos of the few that ignore their actions, or lack of actions, and the consequences they have on so many. An asteroid may have wiped out the dinosaurs, (yes they were here longer than us), but we are able to create our own extinction . timothymahar.org…

We have all heard numerous stories regarding road rage, but let me tell you I believe coffee rage is far more serious. I had the opportunity stand inside at a drive-thru coffee shop this week, and see the machine at work. There were 20 cars waiting to order, and inside the tension was suffocating. At these coffee shops people order coffee like they are at some five star restaurant, or it's a science experiment. They are rushed stressed, and on edge until they get their cup with ten varied ingredients with the name of a Italian formula one race car. Then off they go to race on with their day. Real coffee is served at a diner, black, just cream, or cream and sugar that's it! timothymahar.org…

It seems to me everyone is pissed off, whether it is on the road, in the airport, at the store, or the fast food drive thru, the world is pissed. It seems like anger has become our go to emotion. Sometimes there are real good reasons to be angry, however in some cases it seems anger has become the norm. I'm thinking that's not a good thing. It can be manipulated, if anger is directed in one direction, individuals, and countries are not looking in the direction of real atrocities. If anger becomes a norm then we become desensitized to the actions and activities that truly are upsetting. timothymahar.org…

I have had the pleasure to work at two fine Universities. Our academic institutions are the epicenters of divers thoughts, research, creativity and artistic expression. They benefit all in our society beyond their ivory covered walls. They open minds and the world to us. When a government steps in and attempts to regulate who is allowed to attend, and what they can learn, it is the ultimate form of suppression. Creating a dependent society, that is afraid or unable to question, and where the truth is just assumed. I find it ironic that our oldest University in the United States, that is locate in same place where the fight against the tyranny of a King was born, is standing up for the freedom to be able to teach and learn. Standing up for the smaller schools, students and all who benefit from ,and are not threatened by knowledge and the confidence to question. timothymahar.org…

Before I get any farther let me make it clear I do not support the policies of the current administration on any level. I am a life long Democrat. Now, having said that I cannot deny that Donald Trump is the greatest political communicator in the history of this country. One does not overcome all he has and get re-elected to the Presidency without that skill set. He is a master of persuasion, marketing and consistent messaging. He has manipulated the media like no other, and for some outlets it has become profitable. He has controlled the news cycle He has added words to our lexicon, Fake News, Witch Hunt . He is a master brander. Instead of saying how unfair things are the Democrats need to learn from him. Also, he is not stupid, in fact I would say he is very smart, and street smart. Until this is acknowledged the Democrats will never find their message. They will continue to whine unfair, and talk at people instead for to them. You don't have to like to message to learn from the messenger. timothymahar.org…

Unlike Santa Clause the Easter Bunny is an animal. While growing up and still to this day when I see Santa in the mall, at brunch, or ringing a bell on the street I can make the connection, he is a nice plump man with a beard. The Easter Bunny however is a completely different animal. First of all, he is an animal! So when I'm at the mall or Easter Brunch and some dude in a bunny costume with eyes and a mouth that do not move starts waving, I get freaked out. It looks more like a character from a slasher movie with those bulging eyes and frozen grin. This is not a bunny, it's a nightmare come to life!! Where's the real Bunny not some freak show!!

In our current day, I can run errands, go to work, and visit the doctor without any real interpersonal interaction.

There was a time where a day like that I would find myself interacting with people, who I had come to know. The guy at Hess gas pumping my gas, the bank teller, the check-out person, the doctor in person, and the sounds and smells of an in person meeting.

We don't have time to get out, even when waiting in a line of 20 cars for a burger, and fries.

Ok, I have a few issues that have never been resolved! This goes back to elementary school when all the children in our classes had to make an envelope to stick on the wall in the front of the classroom, for all to put Valentine's cards in. Those little cheap cards with a clown, balloons, and elephants that had, To: and From: on them. Then when we get older the pressure of not knowing, are we just "friends" or more? This can go wrong in so many ways. The embarrassment of it all! I was never on top of the game with this, and made many a wrong call resulting in my face being as red as roses. It's just a no win, pressured to buy stuff to show your love, or aspiring love! A sea of red, oh my head!! The scars the PTSD!! This is the holiday to skip, but it is made in America! Buy American!
