I'm not sure what to start with here. I touched on most of this yesterday, but I guess it's worth going into all of it a little deeper. Them that know announced today that the surge in COVID-19 cases can be traced back to the omicron variant flexing its muscles. Something like 73% of all … Continue reading Monday, December 20, 2021 →

The Weekend: December 18-19, 2021

It's been one of those days. Indeed, it's been one of those weeks. Hell, I imagine one could argue that it's been one of those years. Did anyone really think 2021 would be better than 2020? It makes one shiver to consider what 2022 has in store for us poor sinner. It's become given wisdom … Continue reading The Weekend: December 18-19, 2021 →

We haven't checked in with the Great American Temper Tantrum lately, so let's look there. Now I'll say it again, whether or not these hearings bring any serious opprobriate measures - legal or otherwise - against Trump or any of the participants is up in the air. They are, however, funny as hell and that's … Continue reading Friday, December 17, 2021 →

Okay, then, let's get going. As we've mentioned a couple of times, the recent Census means states are using the opportunity to tweak their Congressional maps some. We mentioned the shenanigans in Texas, but just about every state in the union is doing something and, in most cases, it's to one party's political benefit over … Continue reading Wednesday, December 15, 2021 →

I got stuff to do tonight, so let's tie this one off. The death toll from the tornados that wrecked Kentucky this weekend has risen to 74 confirmed dead. More worrisome, there are still over 100 people considered missing. Over 88 folks, including that 74, from Kentucky back to Missouri were killed during the storms. Though … Continue reading Monday, December 13, 2021 →

The Weekend: December 11-12, 2021

I'll probably look into it more for tomorrow, but I do want to talk a bit about the tornados that stomped all over the Ozarks and the Appalachians. This will be more opinion because they're still picking up the pieces. In the meantime, here's a Twitter thread on where you can help if you can. Okay. In … Continue reading The Weekend: December 11-12, 2021 →

Well, all right. Let's do this. I don't think I've gone over gerrymandering, but Texas (among others) is trying to pull some stuff. The Department of Justice has gotten into it, so this is the perfect time to make sure we all know what we're talking about. First things first. The aforementioned U.S. DOJ has filed … Continue reading Wednesday, December 8, 2021 →

Okay. Let's get to it. Mississippi's recorded its first case of the omicron variant of COVID-19. It comes from someone who had recently traveled from New York. This person was vaccinated and showed no signs of illness. They are being isolated for the next ten days, just to be safe. Again, we wish to emphasize that the … Continue reading Monday, December 6, 2021 →

The Weekend: December 4-5, 2021

You know, I owe Kyle Rittenhouse's mom an apology. I thought for the longest time she'd driven him to the Kenosha protests. Not so, apparently, he went over to visit a friend the day before, and then history was made. It doesn't really absolve or change anything about how the whole thing turned out but … Continue reading The Weekend: December 4-5, 2021 →

Friday, December 3, 2021

I was going to do this earlier today but I had a feeling. I had a strong feeling that some heavy news was going drop around quitting time, what they call "the Friday News Dump." Essentially, it's news that was going to come out anyway so why not let it happen just before everyone goes … Continue reading Friday, December 3, 2021 →
