Today starts the last full week of September. I guess yesterday actually started it, but let's not quibble. In any event, I have some Actual Paying Work to get through this week so let's knock this out. The U.S. Supreme Court announced today it would hear the challenge to Mississippi's highly restrictive anti-abortion law. In short, Mississippi … Continue reading Monday, September 20, 2021

Man, Jake Tapper made Tate Reeves look a damn fool today. That's just all there is to it. The entire nation learned today that Mississippi is run by someone who might be the worst of the bunch. I've said before I don't care for editorialists or analyzers of any stripe, especially journalism, media, or politics. That … Continue reading The Weekend: September 18-19, 2021

I'm sorry, I haven't got much for you. It's been one of those days. The lead story on Google News, for example, is about Robert Durst being convicted of murder. I really can't do much with that. Plus, I am just not switched on and haven't been so the past couple of days, but let's do what … Continue reading Friday, September 17, 2021

I generally try to stay out of other states' business here. Apart from the South, I figure the rest of the country has enough representation that I ain't helping anyone out. The South is, of course, the South, and no matter how much we wish it otherwise, Mississippi's fate is tangled in with Alabama, Arkansas, … Continue reading Wednesday, September 15, 2021

Tropical Storm Nicholas is about 70 miles south of Port O'Connor, Texas. It's moving fairly slow and should make landfall sometime late tonight or early tomorrow morning. Right now, it looks like it'll hit somewhere on the middle coast of Texas around Corpus Christie, head west over Northern Louisiana, and moving on through Mississippi. It looks … Continue reading Monday, September 13, 2021
The Weekend: September 11-12, 2021
Yesterday was the twentieth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. I wrote about all I'm probably going to write about that here. While we're at it, Thursday's Gibberish was a meditation on old graveyards and ghost towns. Tuesday was just me complaining about professional fan fiction, which never seems to have the love of the amateurs' stuff. Go figure. A heads … Continue reading The Weekend: September 11-12, 2021

As expected, conservative outrage about the Afghanistan pullout was winding down and it was getting close to time to find another rage pill for the androids. Stirring up fear concerning Afghan refugees wasn't really getting the job done. It's hard to get a hate-boner over plan ol' Islamaphobia when you've spent the last five years … Continue reading Friday, September 10, 2021

It probably goes without saying, but just to make sure we're all clear, we here at Enon Holler World Headquarters are unequivocally pro-choice. Even if some of us are uncomfortable with abortion, we still stand by the concept that "fat men with cigars shouldn't be deciding what [women] do with [their bodies]." This we see … Continue reading Wednesday, September 8, 2021

Whatever yuck that's been making my days miserable here lately hasn't gone anywhere. Oddly enough, it comes and goes, but inevitably doing anything for any length of time just wears me out. I felt pretty good today, but reading for a while tired me out, and after a nap, I feel awful. Go figure. My … Continue reading Monday, September 6, 2021
The Weekend: September 4-5, 2021
It's been a rough week all over. Just to do some public whining and show how disengaged from reality my ego truly is, I've been fighting off a nasty... something all weekend. It wasn't so much a cold as a sinus infection, I think. I figure it spun off from whatever's been making my eyes … Continue reading The Weekend: September 4-5, 2021
Dear Y'all
