Mindless Ramblings and General Blitherings

I have this vague sense that sitting at my desk, drinking Cherry Coke and wolfing down Honey BBQ Fritos by the fistful while surfing slightly off-kilter webcomics isn’t exactly what I’m getting paid to do.  But oh well.
I find this webcomic strangely compelling.

I was thinking of starting my own webcomic, but then I realized I [...]

Whinging and Curmudgeonry

I love that word. “Whinging.”  Prounounced Win-jing.  It’s Australian, pronounced aw-strahl-yun, for carrying on in a most irritating and undignified fashion.
I know that you know that I know that you know that I’m kidding when I whinge on about traffic and comments and such.
I do this because I like it.  And because people like Kate [...]

Generalized Observations on the Insanity of Humanity

Whoa, I got a somebody-a-lanche on my Media coverage post.  Don’t know who linked me, but thanks!
Other Opinings:
~  I’ve never understood people who can’t bring themselves to believe in God, but will readily profess that they think The Universe has a plan for them, or that the Universe is trying to tell them something.  I’m [...]

Media Coverage of TEA Party Protests – Compare and Contrast

Well, on CNN, the Tea Party protests got only one link, but amazingly enough, the article was balanced, fair, and by no means a hit piece.  I encourage you to read it.  It lays out the basics of what the protests are about, and even seems to paint them in if not a positive light, [...]

Saddleback and Obama

A day late and a dollar short, but that’s my usual M.O. anyway.
I didn’t get to watch all of the interview, debate, whatever it was with Rick Warren and the two presumptive presidential nominees, but I did get to see enough of both segments to get a representative taste of it all.
What I thought was [...]

Must like cats, tofu, and walks on the beach…

Taking a quick break from painting myself as the next All-That-AND-a-Bag-Of-Chips.  Writing resume bullets and the “Summary of Qualifications” paragraphs seems a little too much like writing a personals ad.
“I led this, organized that, instituted this, managed that, yada yada yada.  I also enjoy sunsets, classic rock, and I’m still way hung up on ’80’s  hair [...]

Thinks I Think…

I don’t understand why it’s un-Constitutional for individual states to ban abortions, but it’s not un-Constitutional for individual states to allow the death penalty.
I’m not really sure what this economic “stimulus” package is supposed to do.  $600?  Come on.  Thats a movie and dinner…if you don’t order popcorn at the movie.  What happens when the [...]

Dandelion Break

You remember the Bloom County cartoons, where Opus would occasionally need to take a break from everything and sit amidst the dandelions for a while?  I feel like a I need one of those.
What with all the shootings and crazy weather and the painful mediocrity of the candidates currently in the race for President, not [...]

The Matrix is breaking down

Do you ever feel like the Matrix is breaking down?  Like there is some sort of unraveling going on that is slowly dissolving the bonds of rationality, civility, even just basic humanity in us all?  Some sort of corrosive substance being poured on the foundations of our society, even the fundamental core of reality?  It’s [...]

A few questions for my Muslim friends out there

Why did you take the job at the supermarket if you knew that you’d be asked to handle pork, alcohol and tobacco products?
Why did you decide to become a cab driver if you weren’t going to take fares from people who smoke, or drink, or have dogs, or have a juicy ham sandwich in their [...]
