Fox News interviews Grand Moff Tarkin
We shouldn’t be surprised that Tarkin is a sleazy, Republican apologist for the Emperor but not a diehard fanatic a la Boebert, Greene or Gaetz; he’s carved from the more cynical branch like McCarthy or McConnell. Sure the Death Star killed … Continue reading
Trying a new tactic with Vulture Realtors
Yesterday, I got a handwritten envelope in the mail and these are often sickening religious crap. It was worse, a shit bird realtor asking if I was interested in selling my house of twenty-plus years to a client of his. … Continue reading
The impotent Democratic Party in one short cartoon
I recently heard the Fresh Air podcast about the GOP, namely the pro-Fascist faction, having their CPAC circle jerk in Hungary’s visible dictatorship. They then returned the favor with Orban being invited to the Orlando gathering. It’s disgusting and frightening to … Continue reading

We’ve achieved peak Austin! Horribly Hot with Weird on course
Mucca Sacra! Nothing could be more Austin Weird than this stupid person on a scooter exposing their skin to third-degree burns in 10 minutes (or stage one skin cancer in 20). One friend thinks they’re from Venice Beach, CA where … Continue reading

Well…SCOTUS has now reached peak irrelevance
It’s now official, the Minority Government in power hates women and poor people. This crap rationale of the most incredible verbal, philosophical yoga will be remembered when Amerikan Democracy went from dying to almost no pulse. I figured the country’s … Continue reading

Back to my workplace yesterday was pretty good
I’m pretty lucky since I got to volunteer for the gradual plan for the next six weeks but I dread it may be pointless as another strain hits the Northeast a handful of Moontower Comedyfest guests tested positive. I think … Continue reading

How Daylight Savings Time feels for about two weeks
It’s baaaaaack! The idiocy of us setting our clocks forward to “save” something other than stress, sleep, time, etc. Once again it is my bi-annual diatribe on why this shit needs to end but I did do some poking around … Continue reading
