It's the last weekend of May. Tomorrow's Memorial Day, so some folks are enjoying a three-day weekend. Far too many poor bastards are working crap jobs for crap pay, usually for people who hold them in utter contempt. And folks wonder why the service industry's having such a hard time filling schedules these days. That's … Continue reading The Weekend: May 29-30, 2021

The Weekend: January 16-17, 2021
Y'all. In less than 72 hours, Donald Trump will no longer be the President of the United States. Things will still be screwed up and we'll still be run by folks who're more concerned with bottom lines than people's lives, but at the very least we won't have to pay attention to that silly bastard … Continue reading The Weekend: January 16-17, 2021

It's the end of the week and everyone wants to go home because next week is going to be a lulu. As the kids say, it's going to be off the chain. So, let's get this wrapped up. So probably the most important news in the past 24 was President-Elect Joe Biden's announcement of his … Continue reading Friday, January 15, 2021

We started the morning with a nice dusting of snow, which is fairly unusual for Northeast Mississippi. It had all melted by the afternoon, but it has nevertheless been a perfect day for hibernating. That's part of the reason this is late. The other part is I'm just lazy. But we're here now, so let's … Continue reading Monday, January 11, 2021
The Weekend: January 9-10, 2021
You know, 2021 was supposed to be better. After the hell that was 2020, we thought we were due a break. Just goes to show you that the Universe doesn't give a tinker's damn about the plans of mice and men. Anyhow, let's look at this week's Gibberish. It was all on the short side … Continue reading The Weekend: January 9-10, 2021

I had a doctor's appointment so I had a long day. My afternoon nap turned into an early evening snooze. Not that I'm complaining, mind you, as I'm big on naps in general. Anyhow, we are locked, stocked, and ready rock now, so let's get to it. First off before we get too deep in … Continue reading Friday, January 8, 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
The Weekend: January 2-3, 2020
The first weekend of 2021 is almost in the bag. I do hope everyone enjoyed their New Year's and long weekend by staying home and being safe instead of going out to exposure yourself to COVID infection on what's basically amateur night, anyway. Too many people probably didn't, which was brilliant as a new, possibly more infectious … Continue reading The Weekend: January 2-3, 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

Cognitive scientist, philosopher, and all-around smarty britches Daniel Dennett has a quote that is generally used against religion, but I think it's apropos to today's news. That is, and I'm paraphrasing here, there is simply no polite way to explain to someone that they've got their entire being invested in the silliest, most illogical bullshit. Like people … Continue reading Monday, December 14, 2020
Dear Y'all
