Bless me readers, for I have sinned. It’s been 90 days since my last post. I feel bad about it but don’t worry – not bad enough to bore you with all the carefully reasoned rationalizations for my absence. But I had to take TWO STINKING MINUTES out of my important work day to let you know that the former […]
So if you’ve been twiddling your thumbs waiting for this, the third installment in my Free Speech Trilogy, I have one question for you: Why don’t you have anything more interesting going on in your life? I mean, I’m grateful, don’t get me wrong, but…you need to get out more. I’m just saying. When last we left our intrepid hero […]
I started out as a writer, and in my experience the two most important measures of a person’s writing are: How the writer feels about it How the reader feels about it There’s also how your mom feels about it, but that’s really a subset of #2 so I went for simple-is-better. Then when you give up writing and instead […]
If you stumbled onto this post because you think it’s about the band, I’m sorry. You can leave – no harm, no foul. If you are here without reading the prior post, called Let them eat Twinkies, you should go back and read that now, since this is part 2 of a planned 3-part series. And finally, if you’re here […]
In a week, April 8 to be exact, I will mark the one year anniversary of this blog! I have a dozen or so ideas about how to commemorate this, and no real capacity or mind-space to execute on most of them, so I thought I would start with this: What do YOU think? I assume if you’re reading this, […]
I saw an article confirming, “Facebook removes video interview with Trump, citing his ban from the platform,” which made me happy. In reading the article I learned that the interview in question was between Donald Trumpand his daughter in law, Lara Trump; and that she knew in advance that the content would be deleted by the platform. For those just […]
I have wanted to go to Minnesota for a long time. It’s kind of a weird reason why. It’s because the novelist John Sandford is from there, and has based pretty much all of his books in the heartland of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and the like. Sandford is not his real name, but rather the nom de plume of John […]
Recently I made an impassioned plea to kick Lauren “I’m just a gurl who cain’t say no to automatic weapons” Boebert out of Congress before she’s there long enough to leave a permanent stink. Today I’m happy to present Chapter Two of a little campaign I like to call: “F—ing really??!?” Meet Marjorie Taylor Greene. She’s a QAnon believer, proponent […]
I don’t remember the last time I watched the Academy Awards. Which is weird because I truly (madly, deeply!) love movies. You’d think I’d be more invested. But I’m not. In recent years there’s been a lot of hub-bub about a lack of diversity in the nominated films and artists. To which even I, someone who has only begun his […]
In the criminal justice system, gun-crazed, power-hungry members of Congress are considered especially heinous. In Washington, DC, the most notorious of these may be freshman Representative Lauren Boebert from Colorado. This is her story. GUNG-GUNG! Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I come before you today to ask your judgment of United States Congresswoman Lauren Boebert. Congresswoman Boebert is on […]
