2021, The Do-Over Year?
If only it were as easy as a reboot. With the inevitable parade of spineless, traitorous Republicans slithering from the shadows of sedition, demanding that Democrats let “bygones be bygones” in the wake of the horrific, violent insurrection perpetrated by … Continue reading

The Dreaded “P” Word
I’m always late to the party, and by party, I mean Internet kerfuffle. Case in point, the flurry over John Scalzi’s blog post regarding white male privilege. The thesis being essentially (and correctly) that all other things being equal, being … Continue reading
How to Enable a Murderer
The thing that strikes me about the Trayvon Martin case is that, to some extent, the issue of gun control has been ignored. Make no mistake. I know racism was the cause of this young man’s death. Given that the … Continue reading
Let’s Talk About Sex
By now everyone knows about Rush Limbaugh’s Lush Viagra Limpballs’s nasty attack on college student, Sandra Fluke, whose only crime was appearing before Congress to explain that birth control [pill] had essential uses beyond preventing pregnancy and therefore should be … Continue reading

Save a Manatee, Eat a Teabagger
Though the cholesterol may kill you. Rather than the tricorn hats and tea bags, the official Teabagger (no, not calling ’em Tea Party) symbol should be a helmet. As in, “they’re so stupid, they should wear one so as not … Continue reading

There Aughta Be a Law
There are couple of interesting side effects to a home remodel. The first is the unpleasant knowledge of just how badly the cheap-ass contractor slapped together your house. The other is the discovery of all kinds of “treasures” in the … Continue reading

Something to Aspire To
Because I have a whole host of partially written blog postings on things that are far more interesting, but the sun is shining and I’d rather be in my garden than … well, anything. My goals as a writer: A) … Continue reading

From A Distance
Early Monday morning, and I’m wandering around the house looking for my left shoe, which I’m sure, must’ve been stolen by Stitch. (Because I’ve watch Lilo and Stitch waaay too many times.) The greyhound is trailing behind me, crashing into … Continue reading
