This gets its own new post instead of a mere update on the last post, because people, this is some shock and awe going down! Obama just held a press conference and gave verbal karate to Rev. Wright, which would be great except it’s pretty clear he’s just pissed because Wright is messing up […]

Reader Nina sent me a link to the Dear Abby page, which has a discussion about a man who takes his 4-year-old son hunting. Grandpa of the kid was pissed about it and wrote to Abby in February, and more readers wrote in on today’s column to have their say. (It’s on the […]

Okay. That’s it. I have way too much shit to do. Do you ever just wake up one day, tally through all the things you have to get done in the immediate future, and realize you would prefer to be dead and that you may as well be, because you will never […]

I know, right? It’s shocking. Clearly the answer is to make things like murder, assault, and shooting bullets at people more illegal. That’ll get ‘r’ done.

Obama’s spin on the “bitter” comments from last week are even better than the original shit he said. Good lord, man. Keep it coming.
“I didn’t say it was well as I could have,” Obama confessed today during a town hall in Muncie, Ind., in response to the controversy he described as a “political […]

Last month, Michelle Obama said in a speech:
“The salaries don’t keep up with the cost of paying off [student loan] debt, so you’re in your 40s, still paying off your debt at a time when you have to save for your kids,” she says.
“Barack and I were in that position,” she continues. “The only reason […]

They strapped cameras on jungle-elephants’ trunks and set them free. Kinda neat.
All I want to know is, what was Sunny doing in the jungle? Look, the elephant saw her there:
(I know. That was mean. Rupert says that maybe Sunny is overweight due to low self-esteem because I constantly compare her to […]

If you live in Dallas or have been watching the Weather Channel, you already know that I’m completely screwed and will not, in fact, be getting home today (Tuesday). DFW airport is almost completely shut down from storms and flooding, and the airport we’re flying out of is St. Louis, which is also now […]

Mentioning the cancer clinic I used to work at in my other post today reminded me of the receptionist there named Shelly, who I intensely disliked, mostly because she answered the phone thus: “Gewd mower-neen! Texx-suss Cancer Clinic! This is Sheyell-lee! Ha kin ah heeelp yeww?”

The following is a post from a DFW-area political blog, and was written by a friend of a friend of mine. I want to pass it along in case anyone reads here has TMobile and is willing to call them to complain. If I had TMobile, I’d cancel my account today.
T Mobile vs. […]

Some of you may recognize the name Triticale because he was a frequent commenter here (and elsewhere, and his true name is Tom); I have 41 comments from him total. I was just clicking through my blogroll and found, when I got to his blog, that he died a few days ago of leukemia. […]

Nutjob puts on tactical helmet and body armor, grabs his high-power rifle, goes to a missionary center and kills two people, drives to a megachurch in another city and kills two more people (as well as wounding several others), and is finally stopped by a female security guard at the church who rushed him and […]

I’m very important and importantly busy today, but I saw this and I have to know what you guys think. It’s about the UFO conference and specifically, the one sighted in Chicago a year ago.
Now I will have the X-Files song in my head the rest of the day. Awesome. […]

I’ve compulsively checked all my favorite sites to find something to enlighten you turkeys about but I came away from the experience empty and cold. There’s nothing piquant going on, except maybe that nuke plant being on lockdown in AZ, but what am I supposed to say about that? EVERYBODY PANIC! […]
