The Weekend: January 22-23, 2022

We started the week with the observation of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's birthday, so we started the week with some of the most outrageous examples of rank hypocrisy American politics can produce. I'm old enough to remember when the GOP had to be dragged kicking and screaming into honoring the man. Hell, the first … Continue reading The Weekend: January 22-23, 2022 →

Today is the day we observe Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday. It's not, however, National Hypocrite Day. That's in June, but given how many conservatives pretended they wouldn't consider Dr. King a woke communist race hustler if he was alive today or they wouldn't consider him a trouble-making agitator causing the Civil Rights movement … Continue reading Monday, January 17, 2022 →

Despite what some might tell you, I like it when I'm wrong. I'm a cynical, pessimistic sort with a tendency to have a poor view of things, particularly how government works. I do think that, for the most part, I'm legitimate in my stance because let's face it, the government - especially the Mississippi government … Continue reading Friday, January 14, 2022 →

Okay, so it's been one of those days. Let's move past that, though, and see if we can't pull the last few teeth out of October before we start it all over again. President Joe Biden was trying to get a vote rolling on his Build Back Better plan up and done before he spent … Continue reading Friday, October 29, 2021 →

The Weekend: October 16-17, 2021

People just don't think things through. I'm not sure what the problem is but this has not been a productive week. It's been a frustrating, irritating week, sure, but that's not it. I'm just unconnected and a little tired of it all. As always, though, no one pays me for this so I've got no … Continue reading The Weekend: October 16-17, 2021 →

I won't get into the details why, but for various reasons, it's 3:30 a.m. Saturday morning as I post this. In short, between my internet access and WordPress being a pill, I couldn't get anything done for the longest time. When I did, I couldn't post and so decided to take a little nap and, … Continue reading Friday, October 15, 2021 →

The Weekend: October 2-3, 2021

A programming note before we get too deep into it. I have decided to suspend regular installments of the Gibberish over at the Blogger site. I'm going to write it when I feel it instead of trying to keep to a schedule. To be frank, it's been a while since it's been fun and if it ain't … Continue reading The Weekend: October 2-3, 2021 →

Man, it has been one of those days. Let's not dally because, friends and neighbors, I ain't in the mood. Anyhow. There's been no movement from the governor's office about calling for the special session he promised should the Mississippi Legislature put together a decent medical marijuana bill to replace Initiative 65, which was scuttled by the … Continue reading Monday, September 27, 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 →

Wednesday, June 2, 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 →
