Well, we made it through another week. Even though the Dumb continues to spread, we managed to survive. Something to be cheerful about, I suppose. I had some Actual Paying Work to do last night, so that kept me up. I still need to do the cutting-and-cleaning part, and since nothing in the News is … Continue reading Friday, August 14, 2020

John Nance Gardner once said the office of the Vice-President "wasn't worth a bucket of warm spit". He should know, as the man first called "Cactus Jack" was Franklin Roosevelt's first Vice-President until being tossed over in the 1941 election for Henry Wallace. Amusingly, he said that to Lyndon Johnson, quite possibly the most significant … Continue reading Wednesday, August 12, 2020

A brand new week starts up and we have a whole new mess of nonsense to deal with. Plus, there's the fallout from the shenanigans Trump got up to this weekend to consider. So buckle up, children, it's probably going to be a rough one. Tell the truth, I'm not really in a journalistic mood this morning … Continue reading Monday, August 10, 2020
The Weekend: August 8-9, 2020
Well. It has been a week. I don't know if we're wiser for it or not, but regardless, it has been a week. Before we get too deep into, let's link to this week's Gibberish. I've been suffering from mush brain all week, so there's nothing to fiery to report. Tuesday was just trying to wrap my … Continue reading The Weekend: August 8-9, 2020

The first working week of August is in the can. After a couple of cool (relatively speaking) days here in Northeast Mississippi, it's supposed to turn damn hot damn quick while COVID-19 rages out of control and unabated. So that means it's a perfect opportunity to stay in the air conditioning and read about mind-blowing … Continue reading Friday, August 7, 2020

I guess the big news of the past 24 hours was the explosion in Lebanon that rocked Beruit. I usually don't meddle in foreign news, but this was such a massive (and preventable) tragedy in a country already hanging on by a thread I felt it was necessary to at least look at it. Plus, the … Continue reading Wednesday, August 5, 2020

I'm really not up for this right now. Whatever funk sat down on me last week hasn't gone away. If anything, it's joined up with my crippling self-doubt to become worse. Just so far, looking at the news just bums me out more. I'm having a real hard time wrapping my head around our total … Continue reading Monday, August 3, 2020
The Weekend, August 1-2, 2020
I really don't have much to go on today. In a gloomy mood where all I want to do is sleep, so that's what I've been doing most of the weekend. We're just going to fill up the white space until we get our 500 and probably go back to sleep. But first, links to … Continue reading The Weekend, August 1-2, 2020

Well, it’s the last day of the week and the last day of the month. Let’s see what fresh hell awaits this one. This is going to be quick, though, but I really don’t feel like engaging with reality today. Do you blame me? Anyhow. Schools in Mississippi opened this week, and already it’s turning … Continue reading Friday, August 1, 2020

Well, neighbors, it’s coming up on 9 a.m. here in Enon Holler and there’s really nothing in the news that’s yanking my chain as of yet. I may write about the battle in Congress about the upcoming stimulus bill, but I believe it needs some more airing out. Tell you one thing, though, I’m not … Continue reading Wednesday, July 29, 2020
Dear Y'all
