Go Gators.

The photo was obviously taken in Florida, where for several months of the year, around dusk, a vaguely luminescent green mist hangs a foot or so above the ground (i.e. two-three feet above the surface of the nearest adjacent cypress swamp). Actually we don’t mind. It’s as visually charming as Spanish moss (we…

There’s a fine performance by The Coup about real cars, called “Cars and Shoes”:

In other words, police treated this black man more harshly for a.) peaceful activity that was not a criminal offense, and b.) a right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution itself, than police treated a 99% white mob that smashed windows, ransacked offices, rampaged through the Capitol screaming their intent to lynch…

If you’re not up to doing a regulation push-up, where it is hinged on your toes, try doing push-ups from the knees instead. They exercise your arm and stomach muscles, straighten up your shoulders, and align your neck. I’m 66 and no athlete, but I do 25 knee-push-ups and 32 sit-ups first thing in the morning and it…

I myself would be quite annoyed by this, as it would probably be based on the EPA mileage estimates. My ‘09 Miata has an EPA rating of 24/21/28, making it subject to the tax. However, its actual mileage over the last 33,000 miles has been 26.98 MPG.

I guess that’s because he’s so vain about his haircut that he doesn’t want to wear the objectively-better style of mask where the rubber bands go all the way around your head, instead of hooking on the backs of your ears. I can’t imagine why else he’d use those crap ear-loop masks, he certainly can afford proper ones.

Damn it. This is as unacceptable as Nissan Armada or Mazda Millenia. An armada is more than one ship, millenia would be more than one millenium, and a trinity is three things. But each word is the name of one car.

As a stepping stone to a Presidential run, no doubt. Can’t you see it? One perfect term as a Senator from Florida, then it’s Vanky for President 2028! a kinder, gentler Trump. She’ll be portrayed in all campaign literature holding a kitten, like Dr. Evil used to do.

I have to admit I was a bit curious about the link (how those long-fingered BLM fiends pulled the strings of the patriotic but gullible US Patriots in the Capitol building) in Hinckley’s post, just to see what kind of moronic trash “news” outlet he was quoting, “the Daily Whatever” or whatever. You know, like those guy…

I’ve long felt the same way about golf courses, but at least in my county (Pinellas County, Florida) most of the golf courses are located in swampy, flood-prone lowlands where no one would want to build a house anyway. There are a few, however, that were sited on what is now fine, very costly real-estate, no doubt…

“Girl Scout troupe,” all-singing, all-dancing!

Ordinarily I am inclined to reply to these questions with “Forget all that nonsense, buy a Miata.” (“Retiree wants plush luxury sedan?” “Buy a Miata!” “I need a pickup truck to carry 4' x 8' plywood sheets!” “Miata!” “Mom, Dad and two kids?” “Mom and Dad each get their own Miatas!” “Four-man field crew, surveying in…

Unlike so many Americans I was able to work from home, so I have been lucky enough to be able to almost completely avoid being near other people since last March. I’ve been keeping track. To be exact, I have gone to the booze shop only eight times, and to the grocery store only sixteen times, since March 15, 2020.

Actually I do know a good deal about how junkies act and think. I absolutely guarantee you that all junkies want the nth hit far, far more than the first.

The nth hit of heroin feels way better than the first, because the first just gets you high high high, while the nth immediately cures the withdrawals.

Schwarzenegger’s use of the term “Kristallnacht” was literally accurate; all around the Capitol building was broken glass from the windows smashed in by the fascist mob.

What’s so odd about that? I know that if my boss gins up a kill-crazy mob to come to my place of work, where they erect a gallows on the lawn and smash in the doors and windows and run through the halls screaming “Hang W. Kiernan! Hang W. Kiernan!” until one of them gets shot in the throat and the others run away, my…
