It looks like, to all intents and purposes, Vladimir Putin has declared war on Ukraine. He gave a pre-recorded speech saying Russia would engage in a military operation to "demilitarize" the country and "denazify" the government. However, he does want to "protect civilians" against their own government. That sounds all the world like regime change. It should … Continue reading Wednesday, February 23, 2022

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas and/or weekend, depending on how you swing things. Mine was pleasant enough, saw all the family, and that's always nice. I'm not writing about the Brandon guy. I simply refuse to do it, it is far, far too dumb to even be funny. While we don't have any … Continue reading Monday, December 27, 2021

Y'all, on top of everything else, there's a bad storming tearing through the Gulf of Mexico and it looks like a booger. They're saying it could make landfall as a Category Three or even Four. Hurricane Ida, it's called, and it should make landfall Sunday at the earliest. However, it's building up a head of steam … Continue reading Friday, August 27, 2021

Welcome to the first week in August. I know I'm running late, but you're just going to have to deal with it. I have had a day. Just as a reminder to everyone. Today's the day when the initiative that won almost three-fourths of the population last November legalizing medical marijuana for Mississippians should have … Continue reading Monday, August 2, 2021
The Weekend: July 31-August 1, 2021
It's the first day of August 2021. There are five full months left in the year. Tomorrow, Mississippi's medical marijuana initiative, voted on by nearly 3/4ths of the state back last November, was supposed to go into effect. In theory, I would've been able to swing by a dispensary after my therapist session in Tupelo … Continue reading The Weekend: July 31-August 1, 2021

We've all heard about "Florida Man" and shared jokes about how the Sunshine State is chock full o'nuts. That really isn't the whole story, though. While Florida does seem to have a higher ratio of bull-goose loonies running around loose, it also has something called "Government In The Sunshine Laws." What this means, essentially, is … Continue reading Wednesday, June 23, 2020

Hey, y’all, a bit of personal news before we get good and going. I got my first shot today. I’m taking the Pfizer vaccine which means I’ll have to go back around in three weeks. As of right now, I’m not feeling any of the adverse effects they’re warning and, so far, my free will … Continue reading Monday, April 5, 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 power's already flickered off a couple of times, so this might turn out to be more trouble than it's worth. Even so, the week's barely gotten started and it's already pretty stupid. I mean, depressingly stupid, but this is the Age of the Dumb so it's to be expected. So let's start off with … Continue reading Monday, September 21, 2020

Finally. Someone got through to Tate Reeves, the esteemed governor of Mississippi, and the tater-headed rascal issued a statewide shelter-in-place order. After starting last week with the arrogant announcement that we were "not China," Reeves read the writing on the wall and did the right thing. Of course, this is the "thing" he should've done … Continue reading Wednesday, April 1, 2020
Dear Y'all
