Upgraded to Executive Level at Costco!
Jennifer finally added me to her Costco card so I don’t have to keep borrowing hers and putting my thumb on the photo to “trick” the cashier. Yeah, one actually bothered to give me the third degree! While we were … Continue reading
Veterans Day at 102
It would be nice to have a world in which we no longer had veterans since we finally eradicate all the dumb wars we wage. Of course, the Republicans and MAGATs love to go for the simple-minded and out of … Continue reading
Aaron Rodgers should be fined to the maximum
Of course Chicago fans are having a field day, as they should, and there’s no limit to their schadenfreude because their team will miss the playoffs yet again. Many can dish it out but they sure can’t take it when … Continue reading
Some changes on the breakfast sandwiches I make
Last month I started imitating a TikTok movie Jennifer showed me how to make those delicious yet pricey breakfast sandwiches you can buy at Starbucks. Recently, I ditched the ciabatta rolls. They’re too leathery to eat most days and they … Continue reading
We know that racism-sexism carried the day in Virginia
I’m not sure what’s worse. The GOP sweeping Virginia or the Punditocracy’s Hive Mind repeating the talking points (aka lies and horrible guesses) about how the voters are rejecting Grampa’ Brunch, the Progressive Caucus and how the GOP will take … Continue reading
Joined Planet Fitness, neither a trick nor treat
While the world, especially Amerika, continues to sit on its collective thumbs on what to do, what to open, etc. I finally gave up and joined the Planet Fitness a few blocks from my house since I seriously doubt the … Continue reading
Jennifer has a different, new job!
Albuquerque didn’t pan out and I’m not going into great detail about it. The short version is that the people in charge didn’t get everything lined up in time properly so Jennifer decided to come home, take a better opportunity … Continue reading
Italian #58: Oriana Fallaci
Oriana was primarily a journalist who was famous for getting some really spectacular interviews, experiencing some History firsthand and writing numerous books which allows me to give her the final author slot for this month. Her life was also a series … Continue reading
RIP Uncle Loran
My cousins Leesa and Dana had told me earlier in the month how Loran had been ill with COVID-19 as he was battling the virus in an Iowa hospital. The location puzzled me but upon further explanation, he was in … Continue reading
1996: Fox News begins and never stops lying
Twenty-five years ago, Murdoch and his minions felt the other corporate-owned networks were too far to the Left and/or Liberal. Mainly in how Clinton was skating toward a second term against Dole. Obvioulsy this meant there was a “media bias,” … Continue reading
Jennifer has a new job!
Jennifer’s offer came through after a few weeks of campaigning and searching. It’s a traveling gig. Why the change? I’m not going to elaborate because I don’t want to be a part of any bridge burning, you’ll have to ask … Continue reading
Happy third birthday Agamemnon!
This crazy little guy gets to celebrate his third birthday (an estimate from the shelter) and I’m grateful for every day he spends with me. If you didn’t remember, he had a near miss with an early appointment for the … Continue reading
Crocs will always be disgusting
The shoes that were standard issue in Idiocracy before they became the gross standard we see often on grubby children and adults who’ve just given up, wants to convince us they’ll be good for the planet. Not buying their greenwashing, even … Continue reading

Happy 6000th Post and Star Trek Day!
One of my favorite TV shows and shared universes celebrates being on the air for 55 years! It’s amazing it ever existed given how much NBC behaved like they never wanted the darned thing. Then history repeated itself with Next Generation … Continue reading
Texas Snitch Site still on the move, rejected by Nazis!
To be fair to Epik, the host declined to help the Snitch Site not over the abortion issue but its collection of personal information and we know the White Power/Neo-Nazi movement requires secrecy. Remember, every identified asshole from Charlottesville lost … Continue reading
