Burn in a lesser hell Bob Dole

Posted on December 6, 2021 by Steve

As the cliché goes, assholes live forever, and it was somewhat true of this bitter old man. I’ve already heard all the crap in his defense about how he risked his life in WWII which permanently injured him. Too bad … Continue reading →

Welcome to December 2021!

Posted on December 1, 2021 by Steve

I decided to just “catch up” and fill in the missing dates in between, again, instead of being like that newspaper from Colonial Days in New England I learned about in college; The publisher only had so much space and … Continue reading →

Tomorrow begins the “voluntary” winterization

Posted on November 30, 2021 by Steve

While the GOP made sure they can dictate what women can do with their bodies, “urban dwellers” have a harder time voting and preventing children from learning the ugly truth about Amerika…they sure as hell didn’t do shit about the … Continue reading →

Injustice carries the day in WI, as expected

Posted on November 20, 2021 by Steve

Sooooooo pissed while not really surprised at the outcome of the Rittenhouse murder trial. I don’t care if a bunch of Cheesedick Ammosexuals say the little pimple-faced Nazi was acquitted, he murdered two people. Sadly, good ol’ Rural/Red-state racism and … Continue reading →

First cold of the Winter season, ugh!

Posted on November 19, 2021 by Steve

I want to be perfectly clear, it isn’t Covid-19! I started coming down with cold or flu-like symptoms around Wednesday as the temperature dropped and then I felt the sweats. I know there are all the naysayers about the vaccine, … Continue reading →
