How I wish Americans were just at least 1% more French!

Posted on March 24, 2023 by Steve

Even in the US, it’s pretty hard to avoid the stories regarding the daily strikes and riots in the land of a thousand cheeses! Their worthless president, a younger version of Grampa’ Brunch, Obummer and Slick Willie, all rolled into … Continue reading →

The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler

Posted on March 23, 2023 by Steve

Finally got around to reading a novel that inspired the authors I enjoy! Although James Ellroy is rather critical of Chandler (I’ve read in interviews) and I’m confident Walter Moseley would have some choice words for the racism of a … Continue reading →

How Texas Republicans keep us safe

Posted on March 22, 2023 by Steve

Plus the gun license is more valid for voting than a student ID or another state’s drivers’ license. They’re also the party spreading the myth of migrant workers sneaking into the country, renting houses in the ‘burbs and handing out … Continue reading →

Finally vindicated on how treasonous the GOP is

Posted on March 21, 2023 by Steve

I’m not bringing up their rather obvious involvement in trying to overthrow America’s legitimately elected government (they did succeed in 2000) but the illegal lengths they went to in 1980 to install a shitty B-movie actor. Ever since I read … Continue reading →

The Three Stooges 2012

Posted on March 21, 2023 by Steve

I’m not sure who thought making a reboot of these characters was a good idea. Choosing the Farrelly Brothers to direct was the only smart decision as those two are pretty solid with physical comedy as demonstrated in Dumb and Dumber … Continue reading →

2003: Dubious & Darth Cheney start Gulf War II

Posted on March 20, 2023 by Steve

It’s so sad that neither of these assholes and their enablers will ever face justice for the bullshit war they started; the US continues to not join the ICC. America lost over two trillion in blood and treasure along with … Continue reading →

Marquette chokes in the second round, and that’s OK

Posted on March 19, 2023 by Steve

Despite the Warriors being ranked number two in the East (not sure why not the Midwest which is where Milwaukee is), I was confident the number nine Michigan State Spartans had a solid chance of winning. This is the university … Continue reading →

This cat must’ve been declawed

Posted on March 18, 2023 by Steve

This little Golden Book isn’t helping dispel the stereotypes about orange cats.

Shhh…nobody tell the snails!

Posted on March 17, 2023 by Steve

Given LEGO’s newfound popularity, I hope these snails have saved up since they’ll be paying Austin real estate rates…if they’re lucky.

Evil MoPac delivers the annual jokes!

Posted on March 16, 2023 by Steve

Evil MoPac should update the free space though, Elijah moved away years ago. Several squares will sadly be true year round, especially the not funny Joe Rogan opening his comedy venue at the old Ritz Theater, where the best Alamo … Continue reading →

Why Austin can’t have nice things, March ’23

Posted on March 15, 2023 by Steve

From the GOP, you know, the party of less government interference…unless you have a uterus. As expected, they’re going to destroy our light rail expansion since it will interfere with the lobbyists they take money from: car dealerships, Big Oil and … Continue reading →

President Camacho to the rescue!

Posted on March 15, 2023 by Steve

Given the two horrible, crappy choices next year…same as every year…red bag of shit or blue bag of shit, I will be voting for Camacho since he traveled back in time to run! Not a bad cameo at this year’s … Continue reading →

How I wish I could participate

Posted on March 14, 2023 by Steve

One of the assholes who has pushed Amerika in the wrong direction thanks to St. Reagan’s FCC allowing his right-wing hatred to be on the public airwaves as “entertainment.” Hitler and his lieutenants are proud. I need to ask my … Continue reading →

Blueberry milk is back!

Posted on March 13, 2023 by Steve

No this is not the weird “blue” milk from Star Wars. What you see is a real product via HEB and some (relatively) local farms. I’ve been hooked on 1836 Farms stuff since last Fall, namely their chocolate and coffee offerings. … Continue reading →

Republicans demonstrating their lack of shame March 2023

Posted on March 12, 2023 by Steve

I love the GOP’s chutzpah on how they want to make sure any areas where they won’t win are disenfranchised. This bullshit move is their latest since we know what they’re really thinking…college students won’t vote for us because educated non-Republicans … Continue reading →
