President Joe Biden held a town hall last night on CNN. Now, there are two minds when it comes to Biden and the corporate media. If you're conservative, of course, you're convinced they think the sun shines out of his ass because that's what the "liberal media" does. I'm not here to argue about it … Continue reading Friday, October 22, 2021

The Senate showed its ass again today, as it voted down the Freedom To Vote Act by a straight party line. And this time, you really can't blame it on Joe Manchin. Passed by the House back in August, the Freedom To Vote Act was designed by Congressional Democrats to counteract some of the more draconian efforts by Republican-run … Continue reading Wednesday, October 20, 2021

General Colin Powell died this morning at Walter Reed Medical Center from complications due to COVID-19. He was 84. I have come to bury him, not to praise him. He was a complicated figure and a regular part of the national zeitgeist since I was in high school. Maybe some of y'all don't remember the first Iraq War, but … Continue reading Monday, October 18, 2021

People just don't think things through. I'm not sure what the problem is but this has not been a productive week. It's been a frustrating, irritating week, sure, but that's not it. I'm just unconnected and a little tired of it all. As always, though, no one pays me for this so I've got no … Continue reading The Weekend: October 16-17, 2021

I won't get into the details why, but for various reasons, it's 3:30 a.m. Saturday morning as I post this. In short, between my internet access and WordPress being a pill, I couldn't get anything done for the longest time. When I did, I couldn't post and so decided to take a little nap and, … Continue reading Friday, October 15, 2021

I have some Actual Paying Work to get through tonight. And since I screwed my due dates, I have a decent-sized chunk to have done by tomorrow. Nothing terribly esoteric but nothing terribly interesting, either, but that's how it goes. One does involve Good Samaritan Laws, though, and those are worth perusing when you have … Continue reading Wednesday, October 13, 2021

Yeah, I have no good excuse besides I was lazy. It wasn't even a day, I just haven't felt like doing it. What are you going to do anyway, complain to my manager? Anyway. Today is Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples Day. It's also "Conservatives Act Like Lunatics Defending a Guy Who's Own Priest Called Him … Continue reading Monday, October 11, 2021

Yep, you guessed it. It's been a day and we're running late. Matter of fact, it's been a week and I ain't going to lie. One of these days I'll explain what I mean by that but today ain't the day. Okay then. I pretty much left the Gibberish alone this week, so there's nothing … Continue reading The Weekend: October 9-10, 2021

It has indeed been another one of them days. And, yes, we're running bad late again. Feel free to contact my manager. Anyhow. There's been some movement in the Jan. 6 Committee, the one that's investigating who knew what about the Great American Temper Tantrum. The committee, led by Mississippi's Bennie Thompson, has issued subpoenas … Continue reading Friday, October 8, 2021

I've had a day and we're running late, so let's get in gear. It seems we're coming close to having something done about the debt ceiling. After a month of dicking around, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell announced today they might have a way of getting around the roadblock before the country defaults on its … Continue reading Wednesday, October 6, 2021
