We haven't checked in with the Great American Temper Tantrum lately, so let's look there. Now I'll say it again, whether or not these hearings bring any serious opprobriate measures - legal or otherwise - against Trump or any of the participants is up in the air. They are, however, funny as hell and that's … Continue reading Friday, December 17, 2021

I got stuff to do tonight, so let's tie this one off. The death toll from the tornados that wrecked Kentucky this weekend has risen to 74 confirmed dead. More worrisome, there are still over 100 people considered missing. Over 88 folks, including that 74, from Kentucky back to Missouri were killed during the storms. Though … Continue reading Monday, December 13, 2021

Even though he's been out of office for almost six months now, the foul stench of the fart that was the Trump Administration lingers in the air. Much as I hate to, we need to take another big ol' whiff because the news is buzzing. Hold your nose. Where to start? Let's do this chronologically. … Continue reading Wednesday, May 19, 2021

I've had one of those days and I'm running late, so let's knock this out. First and foremost, Joe Biden's stimulus bill has passed all the Congressional hurdles and he'll probably sign it Friday. As we discussed Monday, the stimulus bill will pump some desperately needed cash into the economy to the tune of $1.9 trillion, one of … Continue reading Wednesday, March 10, 2021

So, we're getting a late start today and if that bodes ill for the new year, well, I'm not altogether bothered by it. I spent the day reading, writing, and napping, and it's only the lack of a bit of the good smoke that keeps that from being tip-top. We all have our trials. But, … Continue reading Friday, January 1, 2021

This is it, friends and neighbors, the last offering of The News for 2020. The next time you see me it'll be a whole new year, fresh and alive with possibilities. As for what we just went through, I feel confident in speaking for nearly everyone when I say good riddance to bad rubbish. There's … Continue reading Wednesday, December 30, 2020

We're starting the last week of 2020. I think I can speak for all of us when I say seeing the back end of this year will be a blessing. Let's all pray to the Baby Jesus that next year lets up on us. Now. As we noted yesterday, authorities in Nashville have positively identified Anthony Q. … Continue reading Monday, December 28, 2020

Hey, it's Christmas. So if that's your bag, Merry Christmas to you and yours. If not, I hope it's been a pleasant Friday. Okay, so, for those of y'all who can unhook yourself from the news - yet for some reason, read this nonsense - let's talk about what happened in Nashville this morning. Something heavy … Continue reading Friday, December 25, 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

It's the end of the week and, comparatively speaking, it hasn't been quite as bad. Possibly the electors casting their votes for Joe Biden with no deviations released some of the pressure. There's still hope in the heart of the True Believers that Mike Pence will pull some shenanigans, but that's a can of worms … Continue reading Friday, December 18, 2020
