Just the news, big deals, not-so-big deals, birthday, anniversaries, announcements, mostly timely stuff. The news that applies to the personal world around me, not what you watch on cable or listen to on the radio.

Texas Snitch Site flees to join host for The Daily Stormer

Posted on September 6, 2021 by Steve

I wouldn’t say the commercial web-host companies were exactly righteous, upstanding netizens or concerned Americans, Kapitalism often sides with oppressors unless it results in negative press/attention; see the US firms caught working with the Nazis. GoDaddy didn’t have a problem … Continue reading →

Same address for 20 years!

Posted on September 4, 2021 by Steve

I wish I could time travel back to around the days I was in high school during one of the many heartbreaking, painful moves. Of all of them, I’ll go with when we left Houston for Indicrapolis in February 1984. … Continue reading →

1981: Austin Chronicle starts

Posted on September 2, 2021 by Steve

When I first moved to Austin, I definitely got hooked on the Austin Chronicle and even said, if they had more comics with TV listings, you don’t need to buy the pro-Cancer (aka “Growth”) rag know as the Austin American-Statesman, a sad … Continue reading →

When entering Texas, set your watch back 150 years

Posted on September 1, 2021 by Steve

It’s all over the news and of course Twitter, probably FeceBook (I don’t miss it), so on. Being a Bernie supporter (no regrets), but not an unreasonable one (not a Bro); it’s all our fault as per the lazy, knee-jerk … Continue reading →

September 2021 is here but school starting varies

Posted on September 1, 2021 by Steve

Back in July, I celebrated Aliens turning 35. In honor of starting Marquette 35 years ago, I decided to go with Rodney Dangerfield’s most successful movie. I tweaked the colors to be more in line with my alma mater. It’s not … Continue reading →

Afghanistan nightmare is over, new one coming

Posted on August 17, 2021 by Steve

I want to make one thing clear, I’ve never been a fan of the 20-year debacle that destroyed thousands of lives and pissed away $2 trillion. Both could’ve been put to so much better use, namely infrastructure and elevating millions … Continue reading →

The COVID Ages? More like Dungeons & Dumbasses

Posted on August 12, 2021 by Steve

It’s a good thing dragons aren’t (or weren’t) real. I could imagine this happening but over the years, I’ve learned through books and documentaries that the people from the Dark through Middle Ages weren’t as stupid or superstitious as we … Continue reading →

Posted on July 29, 2021 by Steve

Since today is my day to be king of the world and I could afford to take a vacation day, I will spare the world any long, opinionated, whatever entry. I do want to thank Jennifer for making these last two … Continue reading →

What’s wrong with this picture, July 2021 Edition

Posted on July 25, 2021 by Steve

What’s really frustrating is that America is capable of doing both. We don’t need private asshole-billionaires (who don’t pay their taxes) trying to claim the Moon and Mars as private property. I won’t disagree with the criticisms from the Sixties … Continue reading →

1996: The Daily Show launches

Posted on July 22, 2021 by Steve

Damn! Time flies too quickly at my age. I’m glad this outlasted South Park and probably will. It wasn’t necessarily Comedy Central’s first attempt at current events-based comedy. Bill Maher’s Politically Incorrect didn’t survive ABC’s cowardice and Maher’s love of his own … Continue reading →

Yet another news dump from the No Shit! Department. The Delta Variant is flourishing in the pockets of the US where the vaccination rate is low. You know, MAGAtland, which is filled with the “real” Amerikans, the kind who believe their dumb … Continue reading →

Last week, Governor Shitbag who only represents Whites making over six digits and are loyal to the Confederacy, called the expected “special session” to put forth the GOP’s voting reforms. There was a slim chance Texas could’ve gone for Grampa’ Brunch … Continue reading →

Rot in Hell Donald Rumsfeld

Posted on June 30, 2021 by Steve

He was one of the architects of the continued mess America is in. Still waiting for those Arabs to welcome us as liberators while they kill our soldiers with mines and bullets. Rummy helped pump up the lie about Iraq … Continue reading →
