Well, it's Monday and the start of the first full week in June. I haven't been able to shake the most recent case of the blues so I really haven't paid attention to the outside world. Regardless, a man must carry on so let's slap something together. There's something hinky going on in Tupelo. Various … Continue reading Monday, June 6, 2021
The Weekend: June 5-6, 2021
I realize this is late and I realize this is becoming a habit. However, you have to realize I don't care. I'm not getting paid for punctuality. As a matter of fact, I'm not getting paid at all. Okay, then. Let's get the Gibberish out of the way. There really isn't much to write home … Continue reading The Weekend: June 5-6, 2021

It's the end of the first week in June. Nothing in particular jumps out and since I've once again put this off, let's see check out the feeds and wrap things up. I regret nothing. A series of Freedom of Information Act requests filed by Buzzfeed and The Washington Post bore fruit today as thousands of emails from Dr. Anthony … Continue reading Friday, June 4, 2021

Welcome to June, halfway through 2021. Here in Enon Holler, it's been raining off-and-on all day and when it wasn't, it was muggy as hell. Welcome to Summer in Mississippi. I've said before that I try to keep my focus on American politics with an emphasis on how it affects Mississippi, and I really try … Continue reading Wednesday, June 2, 2021

Yeah, I know. Anyway, hope you had a pleasant Memorial Day and didn't make it a nightmare for someone who had to work. Okay, then. Apparently jealous of all the attention other Republican-run states are getting for punishing disloyal voters by making actual voting tougher, the Texas legislature tried to pass a bill this weekend to do … Continue reading Monday, May 31, 2021
The Weekend: May 29-30, 2021
It's the last weekend of May. Tomorrow's Memorial Day, so some folks are enjoying a three-day weekend. Far too many poor bastards are working crap jobs for crap pay, usually for people who hold them in utter contempt. And folks wonder why the service industry's having such a hard time filling schedules these days. That's … Continue reading The Weekend: May 29-30, 2021

We're finishing off the last full week of May. This month has passed pretty quickly, it seems. I wonder if that's just something that happens when you get older. Anyhow, the News. To the surprise of absolutely nobody, the Senate failed to pass the bill designed to put together a bipartisan 9/11-type commission to investigate what all … Continue reading Friday, May 28, 2021

There's no real good reason why I'm running so late, but I am. So let's get this knocked out so I can go back to ignoring the world. After what seems to be a short break, we had another newsworthy shooting today. This time around, an employee of Santa Clara Valley Transit Authority named Samuel Cassidy walked … Continue reading Wednesday, May 26, 2021

Some extremely bright person within the Washington Press Corps lamented that the Biden White House might be more functional than the Former Guy, some of the "passion" may have been eliminated. If this shows anything at all, it merely proves how lazy said Press Corps has become in the last four years now that the … Continue reading Monday, May 24, 2021
The Weekend: May 22-23, 2021
I hope everyone's weekend has been calm and relaxing. We've had a tumultuous week, between the flare-up of the abortion fight and the hopeful cooling down of the most recent Israeli/Palestinian conflict. And, yes, I'm still pissed off about the Mississippi Supreme Court striking down Initiative 65 for the pettiest of reasons. Still, it's been … Continue reading The Weekend: May 22-23, 2021
Dear Y'all
