I get tired of playing devil’s advocate sometimes, so I thought I would, for a change, just lay out what I believe and let the jackals have at it. Most of this came to me while I was in the waiting room at the doctor’s office. Human beings can be really sick, twisted bastards. There […]
On the road this afternoon I got a chance to listen to Garrison Keillor and The Prairie Home Companion. Apparently today is a religious holiday I was not familiar with. The Feast of Saint Saran is the first Sunday after Thanksgiving, a time for consumption of all (or most) of the stuff still left from […]
I have something on my hand. I’m not sure whether it is a nipple, an eye, or a flower. Given the source, I’m guessing flower. I stopped by the grocery store on my way home this evening. A little girl who appeared to be about 6 or 7 asked me if I wanted a sticker. […]
Actually, by my standards, two days isn’t all that late. A couple of years ago I started mailing Christmas cards in July. I figured I had less things going on during that part of the year, they would definitely make an impression, and people wouldn’t be able to figure out whether I was just really, […]
I was going to launch into a day-labor discussion tonight, but I’m pretty much toast. It has been a long tense week; it’s going to be worse later. And hey, I’m being lazy. Instead I’ve got two alternate items. First (via the Register), an analysis of Microsoft’s new EULA for Vista. (Here’s a hint: If […]
For my four regular readers, I apologize for going missing. Sometimes real life intrudes, even into my carefully distanced, isolated personal life. I find it fascinating that, whether you credit it to Providence, Fate, Karma, or the random graspings of the human mind attempting to impose order on a random universe, often when you spend […]
I guess you could say I’ve been indulging myself a bit this week. I mentioned earlier that I was trying out satellite radio. I finally gave up. I just couldn’t find channels that held my interest. Someone is showing all 6 Star Wars movies back to back to back this weekend. On a whim I […]
While I’m on a roll today I figured would mention this thought that came to me while driving home from the Doctor’s office with the Head Rat. IF it is true that a man’s greatness is determined by the greatness of his enemies AND IF George W. Bush is the small-minded, moronic simpleton the rabid […]
OK, granted, me quoting scripture is, perhaps, a bit of a stretch, but it just seemed appropriate under the circumstances. At some point I will try to verbalize my thoughts on the left’s secular semi-religious fervor for government taking care of everyone. In this context, however, the point is less abstract. I’m simply getting ready […]
