Jimmy Carter made it to 99

I do hope he makes it to 100 since yeah yeah, he has been a better ex-POTUS than when he was in the job. Again, remember, he wasn’t exactly dealt a great hand for the job and I do agree he … Continue reading

If they won’t pay their taxes…

…let’s help them go to Mars! Personally, if Biden had any balls, he’d send Bezos, Musk and that Virgin Records guy an invoice for the clearance to launch and land. “What, you want to re-enter US air space to land … Continue reading

Klothos learns Physics

 For once, a cat managed to give me the time I needed to get my GoPro ready to catch this! I might keep the raw footage around for a future compilation I’ll edit in Final Cut Pro! It was … Continue reading

Rot in Hell Diane Feinstein

Screw all those who say we should respect the recently dead, etc. This “pioneer” in the US Senate should be remembered for the same thing Bilary, Bummer and Barney Frank did. They proved that Non-White, Straight Men don’t have a … Continue reading

Mandatory photo for Health Classes and you know…

Not sure if this would’ve made a dent in all the teen pregnancies I encountered up in “real” ‘Murica, aka North Dakota. How its numerous teens alleviated their incredible boredom and lack of smarts was how Amerika got to 300+ … Continue reading

1953: Eisenhower’s “Atoms for Peace” speech

On this day, President Eisenhower spoke before the UN General Assembly to promote the peaceful, positive applications of nuclear discoveries. Instead of weapons, why not harness nuclear fission to provide electricity! Given how much I think Ike was one of … Continue reading

Six hundred comments!

A nice landmark and it only took, what? 18 years. Such a great conversation starter my site is, that and you can blame the crap I post as I guess it just doesn’t interest nor enrage enough people. The latter … Continue reading

Relearned some High School Physics I didn’t learn

Maybe I was out that week in Physics class in 1986. I do remember we spent way too many weeks on vectors, fulcrums and the stuff about lenses was boring. We never got nuclear or atomic stuff but near graduation, … Continue reading

1993: Dazed n’ Confused debuts

I think this movie was supposed to make Richard Linklater a big deal but it tanked. For me it doesn’t help that its legacy was launching the overrated, insufferable self-proclaimed favorite son of Austin…Matthew McConaughey. Contrary to the myth, he … Continue reading

Darned front filling popped out

Normally this doesn’t happen when I eat ribs but as soon as my tongue discovered a new hole on my teeth, I was, crap! Not bad, the filling held for four years. My front teeth would be in better shape … Continue reading

iOS 17 was released this week and for once (or maybe, first in a while), I got to enjoy a new feature, stickers! You create them pretty quickly in Photos. Then you add them to your ready-to-go stickers in Messages. … Continue reading

Correcting George Will’s standard bullshit…

The answer according to the clairvoyant seer of the East…Karnac! Dust, spare change and George F. Will. Ripping open the envelope, and now the question. Name three things you’ll find under a rug. The Beltway Bullshitter who loves Baseball (his … Continue reading

Houston Shock Jock Moby died 9/12/23

Moby wasn’t as famous as the other equally boring, homophobic and tedious shock jocks who pollute FM radio nowadays…as FM radio dies. I know his schtick pre-dates Howard Stern, the king of loving his own voice, but was definitely after … Continue reading

Another lame reason the Republicans would be against Solar

Even the Dutch have their prudish morons. The townhome in the middle has the same number of solar panels as its neighbors (eight) but due to the skylight, the panels were set up as a “U” instead of an “L.” … Continue reading

Talk like a Pirate Day ’23!

I wish I had a real pirate hate but I settled for my trip-corner because they wore those too. Maybe I’ll do better next year.
