Okay, then. The East Coast is supposed to get some nasty weather with them calling for snow from Maine to Mississippi. It's apparently a "bomb cyclone" which is an actual thing. Basically, it's a winter storm with a low-pressure center where the barometric pressure drops significantly over a day. The number's 24 millibars in 24 … Continue reading Friday, March 11, 2022 →

"Fascism" is a word that gets bandied around a lot these days for everything from invading a sovereign nation to stores requiring customers wear masks. It's like "patriotism" or "terrorist" or "Christian," it's been abused to so much that it's almost meaningless. Indeed, fascism was set up to be a very specific thing, a political … Continue reading Wednesday, March 9, 2022 →

We haven't looked at the state of the state lately. Let's rectify that right quick. Last month, recall, Gov. Tate Reeves shocked the world by signing the medical marijuana bill that had recently passed both the Senate and the House with the same overwhelming numbers that the initial initiative did back in 2020. Municipalities have 90 days … Continue reading Friday, March 3, 2022 →

Man, we blew through February, didn't we? I wonder if this is a regular aspect of getting older, time flying by like this. Granted, I probably spent more of the month asleep than awake, so there's that. I don't know, man. Today marked the first full week of the Russian Invasion. The Russians are still … Continue reading Wednesday, March 2, 2022 →

It's been another one of them days and I am not inclined to put much effort into it. Our weather broke and we should have a nice stretch through most of the week. So there's that. The Russian Invasion is ongoing. While the world continues to turn against Vladimir Putin on this one, he seems … Continue reading Monday, February 28, 2022 →

The Weekend: February 26-27, 2022

I've been trying to wrap my head around what's going on in Ukraine all weekend, and it refuses to catch a-hold. Russia's initial push has been met with defiance and mockery, and I don't remember the last time we saw a full-country "fuck you" to a powerful man like that. It's entirely possible that since … Continue reading The Weekend: February 26-27, 2022 →

The Weekend: February 19-20, 2022

Are we seeing a light at the end of the tunnel? I don't know and, in any event, you'd have to put in a lot of work to convince me it wasn't a train. Regardless, it is now and here we are, so let's take a quick look. The situation in Ukraine seems to be... … Continue reading The Weekend: February 19-20, 2022 →

Yep. Still not in the mood for it. I really haven't been paying much attention to politics lately, and it's not all because of losing my dog. This is an ugly, tedious business, and it's depressing to hell for it to be your only connection to the outside world. It's not my fault television shows … Continue reading Friday, February 18, 2022 →

UPDATE: This jibber-jabber has been updated below. That was then, this is now. Another discombobulated day, another half-ass effort. Anyway, I was planning on writing something about the Sarah Palin-New York Times defamation case a few weeks back. Something came, though; something I felt more important, but I'll be damned if I can remember and I'm not … Continue reading Monday, February 14, 2022 →

The Weekend: February 12-13, 2022

I'm still out of sorts, so don't go expecting much. I think what I'll do until my head gets right - if it gets right - is skip the News for a bit and just do Gibberish. I'm also not going to worry about making the word count. If it does, it does. If it … Continue reading The Weekend: February 12-13, 2022 →
