I just heard John Hickenlooper is dropping his Quixotic quest for the White House today, and will challenge Sen. Cory Gardner for his seat instead. Good. Finally, someone got the memo. Someone pulled out the playbook and discovered there was a whole defense line that needed covering, and John is going to help cover…

I caught the good part of last night’s debate, in which Liz Warren pwned John Delaney, and by extension, the other two centrists who really do appear to be there only to point out what we can’t do.

So says the three mark silver coin I have in my collection dated 1913. It means, The king calls, and the people answer. More or less. Watched a bit on MSNBC this morning where they had a reporter strolling along the DC parade route. Surprise, surprise, probably 90% of the people there for the parade were red hatters.…

Louisville once did busing (ONE goddamned ‘s’, you philistines) in the mid 1970s. My main objection to it was based on the observation that gas had just jumped from around 35 cents a gallon to around 65 cents in a fairly short time. This was a pretty wasteful use of natural resources, to say the least. I was 12 years…

Nobody ever suggested that Stephen Miller couldn’t write a good speech. He, or whoever oi was, gave Donald Trump some very good words to say at Normandy the other day. Pity that were delivered as if it were a taped confession in an enemy prison camp, devoid of any feeling, in that monotone Trump reserves for occasions…

I I do get it. You all don’t really care for Joe Biden. You know what? Even though I have defended the guy, and I do consider myself a fan, I kinda hope he decides to call it a career, drop the mic, and leave the stage.

One thing I agree with Maxine Waters on is that people in the D.C. area should not feel compelled to make the Trumpistas feel at home. Fuck that. Respect must be earned, and I don’t see where any of those people earned the right to be respected by anyone.

Everybody has been trying to get me to watch The 3%, so I did. So what did it remind me of the most?

So here I am, watching The Handmaid’s Tale, and it looks like Mayday is going to get June to Canada by plane? Just how does anybody expect this cunning plan not to go completely pear shaped?

Hate to break it to you, but unless the CEO of your company got a call from The Donald himself, that bonus check your boss says is on its way did not result from anything the federal government did. The suits at your company didn’t one day discover that their meeting room was stuffed to the rafters with money, and…

I’m going to make this fairly quick. I have a single, fairly simple definition of what constitutes money. I go to the grocery store, pick up a 12-pack of beer, take the beer to the register, and pay for it. With money. The store clerk looks at the money, recognizes it as such, and accepts it in payment.

Some of you are going to get all butthurt here, but bear with me. What I’m about to say sounds like I’m writing a mushy love letter to President Trump, but anyone who has read my posts, comments, etc., should know that is about as far from the truth as anything can get.

The Cubs have won the Pennant. The Devil is in conversation with the New York State Thruway Authority on a deal to borrow their fleet of snowplow trucks. Just for a couple of days until the World Series.

Something occurred to me while watching The World Wars on my DVR last night. It's crap.

I think I ordered this on about the 3rd of May, and they got around to placing the order the following Monday, the 5th. This kitchen faucet has really been around. Good thing I'm not really in a hurry.

I just finished painting our downstairs bathroom. It needed it badly, and now it looks pretty fabulous. I usually take the interregnum between Christmas and New Year's Day off from work because SAD and the winter solstice and all. One of the things I do to cope with that is to keep busy. One year, I painted the…
