A friend of mine died yesterday. I've known him since we were kids, though I don't think I've seen him since my father's funeral five years ago. He was a good ol' boy in the sense that he was always good-natured and easy-going, and he was always willing to help you out if he could. … Continue reading Friday, December 31, 2021

It's the first day of November. This means that when the sun rises tomorrow, we'll have just 60 days left in the year. Now, I want all of y'all to ponder whether or not the year's been a success or a failure. I'm expecting a five-page essay, so hop to. Speaking of mostly useless anniversaries, … Continue reading Monday, November 1, 2021

"Let's go, Brandon." Seriously? Okay, for those unaware, this is the new chant from the MAGA faithful. It means "Fuck Joe Biden." Apparently, some reporter was covering a Trump reichsparteitag where the screaming monkeys were chanting the vulgar version and some reporter almost got her station a fine with the FCC by repeating. She covered it, as … Continue reading The Weekend: October 30-31, 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

One of the reasons I give the rest of society a pass is that sometimes it seems just too dumb for me to handle. I really don't consider myself particularly sharper than most, really, I'm pretty average. I'm a slow, deliberate thinker and I'm fine with that. But days like this make me think maybe … Continue reading Wednesday, February 3, 2021

Well, I'll be damned. They did it. And the best thing about that statement is it could apply to so much that's gone on the past 24 hours. Whoo boy. I guess the beginning's a good place to start. Georgia held its runoff election for its two U.S. Senator seats. It was tight all the … Continue reading Wednesday, January 6, 2020

It's the Winter Solstice today, which means it'll be the shortest day of the year and the first day of Winter. Also, it means from here on out, the days will start getting longer. Finally, it's the first conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in over 800 years, which you can watch here. Apparently, this means certain people … Continue reading Monday, December 21, 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

We're now on the fifteenth day of Election 2020. This begins the third full week of the current occupant of the White House not just refusing to acknowledge the results of the election but actively trying to undermine the results and the people's confidence in elections. What's worse, is he's showing no signs of stopping … Continue reading Wednesday, November 18, 2020

I'm going to do things a little different and list this week's Gibberish like I list the News over there on Saturdays, if that makes any sense. Not exactly sure why, beyond I'm lazy and really not into fooling with this anymore than I have to. Tuesday Thursday Saturday Really nothing all that interesting. Mostly … Continue reading The Weekend: July 11-12, 2020
