Taking some time off…
…it will probably be better for the suspected ulcer I’m developing. So much for my 400th post of 2020.
Political cartoonist Tom Toles retires
Yesterday was Tom’s last strip ever. During his long-storied career, he drew/wrote over 15,000 since college. I always thought he worked for the Washington Post the whole time, nope, he joined them 16 years ago to replace another legend, Herblock. Toles’ … Continue reading
So, November, you’re here
I’ve never been a big fan of Thanksgiving anyway because it became a crappy family gathering for me when I got to high school (when I began to realize they’re psychopaths and selfish). Throw in a horrible election which probably … Continue reading
Today’s Mood (October 2020)
It seems like the weekend isn’t enough to recuperate with because we Americans waste it running around, finishing the crap we didn’t accomplish during the week! Making the two days off a paradox. Even so, I ‘wasted’ my Saturday by … Continue reading
Rest in Peace Kody
With much sadness for I was too late to finally cover this cute little girl kitty in my section about Jennifer’s seven cats (this would’ve been number six). However…I’m going to try as I hold back the tears. This was … Continue reading
COVID-19 Bingo Card!
Now we can all play at home to see which sycophants from the inner circle got infected since they didn’t wear a mask and think Jesus will protect them from reality.
Screw the high road
When Jennifer told the news yesterday morning, I cheered. I don’t care about this high road bullshit. The South cheered when Lincoln was murdered. The Reagans and their friends threw a party when JFK was murdered. Sen. Turkey Waddle immediately … Continue reading
Howdy October 2020
I remember certain people saying we’d return to some sense of normality by now. Did I believe it? Well…I was probably guilty of some return with limitations but I don’t think America is anywhere close as we’ve lost over 200,000 … Continue reading
No, I didn’t watch the first debate
OK, while I was driving to see Jennifer, I caught the tail end on KUT/NPR…I was hoping it was over and I could hear the fact-checking. I had other matters to tackle when my shift ended (nothing worth bragging about). … Continue reading
Took a couple days off
Last weekend wasn’t so great for me health wise on top of America becoming the Right-Wing, Fascist Kingdom the GOP has had a boner for since Goldwater. Lot of dizzy spells, probably a combination of dehydration and the blood pressure … Continue reading
Today’s Mood (September 2020)
My interpretation of this picture is this. The “balloons” are keeping me going but I dare not let go since there’s a giant canyon ready to swallow me up.
The Burger Wars’ first casualty…Fuddruckers
Since they’re owned by the same people who threw in the towel on Luby’s and this chain has fewer than 200 restaurants, we shouldn’t be shocked to see Fuddrucker’s (or it’s future names in Idiocracy) go down. Before the 2020 Pandemic, … Continue reading
The crappy Summer of 2020 is over
Labor Day in the States is here which is the traditional ending to Summer (Vacation). The point when the Earth crosses a particular spot in space is about 20 days away yet we Americans like to wrap it up with … Continue reading
Nineteen years at Chez Maggi
Another year chalked up at my house, nowadays it’s my house, for many it was our house but that’s life. The other funny factor, being in the same anywhere for more than three years is very anti-Maggi given my past propensity … Continue reading
