Cognitive scientist, philosopher, and all-around smarty britches Daniel Dennett has a quote that is generally used against religion, but I think it's apropos to today's news. That is, and I'm paraphrasing here, there is simply no polite way to explain to someone that they've got their entire being invested in the silliest, most illogical bullshit. Like people … Continue reading Monday, December 14, 2020
The Weekend: December 11-12, 2020
We've come to the end of another week, and if you've been following the News you'll know that Trump's last shot missed the goal. Of course, that hasn't stopped him from claiming he was wobbed nor has it caused his faithful to step back and take a moment to reflect. They still believe that he'll … Continue reading The Weekend: December 11-12, 2020

If the 2020 Election was a vampire, we'd be at the "letting the daylight burn up the head and body after the latter was staked and the former was decapitated and filled with garlic." In other words, it should be over. That half-ass written affidavit Texas AG Ken Paxton tried to get the Supreme Court … Continue reading Friday, December 11, 2020

The Dumbness continues. As I touched on in yesterday's Gibberish, the attempt to overturn Pennsylvania's record failed in the U.S. Supreme Court. However, the GOP still has one Hail Mary they're going to try in the form of a lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. The suit has garnered support from Trump himself and the attorney … Continue reading Wednesday, December 9, 2020

I've been out of pocket today and really haven't even been in the mood to look at the news. So, this will be a short, sweet, and somewhat shallow wrap up of today's foolishness. Granted, I've said that before and wound up going nuts, but I wouldn't hold my breath. And a programming note: I … Continue reading Monday, December 7, 2020
The Weekend: December 5-6, 2020
It's the end of the week and since I have nothing clever to start with, let's see what happened in this week's Gibberish. It wasn't a particularly substantial week by my own admission. Hell, Tuesday was just thrown together to get something in before midnight. There was a little more to Thursday's offer. We're a month out from the … Continue reading The Weekend: December 5-6, 2020

It's the last day of the first week of the last month of the year. So let's concentrate on a positive development. However, with all things, there's good news and there's bad news. That's just how life is, y'all. This morning quite unexpectedly, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the MORE Act, or the Marijuana Opportunity … Continue reading Friday, December 4, 2020

Y'all, there were almost 2,500 new cases of COVID-19 in Mississippi yesterday. That's more than the total number of kids in the Itawamba County School System when I graduated. Hell, there's just a little over 3,600 kids in it now. Across the country, we've had over 13.6 million cases and over 270,000 deaths. Those numbers are staggering. … Continue reading Wednesday, December 2, 2020

It's the first day of a new week and the last day of an incredibly tedious month. Tomorrow we'll start the last month of an astoundingly obnoxious year. And then, living in the future we might be, there's no guarantee it will get less silly. We are in the Age of the Dumb, friends and … Continue reading Monday, November 30, 2020
The Weekend: November 28-29, 2020
Well, let's get this over with. My head's not connected right now and I'm really not inclined to write anything or, for that matter, do anything besides go back to my book. Still, it's best not to do like I did with last night's Gibberish and wait until 11 p.m. to even get started. With … Continue reading The Weekend: November 28-29, 2020
Dear Y'all
