Sadly, under 40% of Texas is vaccinated
This illustration works in a couple different ways. How stupid the “natural immunity” crowd is, proving that Dr. Toupée Paul went into politics in Kentucky because he is a shitty doctor. He makes Dr. Nicke Riviera a Nobel winner. The … Continue reading

Texas, the land where the Confederacy remains in power
My adopted state had been making news in a negative way as it often does. As the saying goes, Austin is a great city that’s unfortunately surrounded by Texas. Anyway, all of the statewide offices are held by Republicans and … Continue reading
NIMBY forces won
Before I left for vacation, we had an election on a series of propositions (aka governments not doing their job by blaming the electorate) and I wasn’t allowed to vote in anything because I live in unincorporated Pflugerville. The big … Continue reading
1996: Australia’s enough is enough moment
I’ve forgotten how many shooting sprees the US has had just this year but 25 years ago, the Aussies had what was their worst on the Island of Tasmania. After that, they reformed their gun laws and now being gunned … Continue reading
RIP Walter Mondale
I’m glad to see that most of the stories about the former veep’s passing focused on how he changed the role instead of the alleged trouncing he received from St. Reagan in 1984. This is what I hope he will also … Continue reading
Republicans send experts to the Border
A gaggle of Republicans chose to visit the Border (aka US-Mexico) for some “fact-finding” missions. They’re about several decades behind on giving a crap but hey, there’s a Dem in the White House so it has always been Grampa’ Brunch’s … Continue reading
Homeless camp catches fire on I-35
It happened this morning way down on the south side of the city, but tents under Austin’s major overpasses (35, MoPac and 183) are a common site since we have a lack of affordable housing. Demand is outstripping the supply … Continue reading
Texas gubmint decides to murder the poor for Kapitalism
The animation from The Simpsons is a pretty accurate representation of how fucking dumb and willfully ignorant the Texas government, namely the executive branch, is. It’s also spot-on impression of this douchenozzle we have named Sid Miller, he’s the Agricultural Commissioner. … Continue reading

CPAC = Comic Con for American Fascists
I can see those greasy-haired, Reagan wannabes from my days at Marquette at this MAGAt rally, telling stories about how the Libruls at Marquette trying to cancel them in the Eighties. Riiiiiight. They’ll obviously the critical details of what their … Continue reading
An old piece of propaganda from the Seventies
The recent winter storm brought this to the forefront again as a friend asked why I was giving the temperature in Metric, then backpedalled on how he was joking. Another friend reminisced with me about the big push to learn … Continue reading
Ding dong Rush Limbaugh is dead!
Ding dong Rush is dead! Flush that turd down the head! At least Death is apolitical and it couldn’t have happened to a bigger asshole. To those who say you shouldn’t speak ill of the dead, go screw yourself! He … Continue reading
Orange Foolius escapes justice again
I’ll keep it short. Why did the Democrats bother? Even my cats know the GOP will put their party and power before America. Also remember, blow jobs from your mistress and lying about that is a high crime, not conspiring … Continue reading
Adios Gina…you dumbass
The Internet was definitely abuzz over Gina Carano’s firing from The Mandalorian which is a shame since the ongoing second impeachment of Orange Foolius is more pressing. However, there’s a good explanation for why she posted such incredibly false, blatant lies … Continue reading
2001: On The Media begins
This weekend, the one podcast I have religiously listen to since…I can’t remember. Let’s just say when iTunes (now divided into Music and Podcasts) first added the ability to subscribe to podcasts. Checking the Internet, iTunes 4.9 which was about … Continue reading

Honeymoon is over, so will it be brunch or progress?
Personally, I don’t think Christ would’ve gotten half the inauguration hype Grampa’ Brunch got by the way the Democrats have pumped up this career Centrist. You won’t get any disagreement from me about how horrendous the last four years were. … Continue reading
