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 [...]

When the government fears the people…

You know, as I’ve watched and read and listened to all the various outrage, pontification, justification and sometimes even downplaying of the increasingly fervent protests in Iran, vs. the regime’s increasingly violent tactics in suppressing them, I bemusedly have begun to wonder.  Sort of a compare and contrast kind of thing.
I look at the protestors [...]

A new outlook, a new approach.

I’m going to be making some changes around here.  Not so much in the tangible, as in the metaphysical, asitwere.
I honestly don’t know how many people read this blog over a given day or week.  I can see the stats hover around 50 “views” a day, if I post fairly consistently, but again, how many of [...]

Thought for the Day

Does God really need to punish us, when we do such a good job of it ourselves?

Thought for the Day # 874

Progressives do things to make themselves feel good.
Libertarians feel good because they do things.

Random Cerebral Ejecta

Ejecta.  Google it.  It’s not what you think.  Perv.
I’m in one of those wierd phases where it’s hard to sit myself down at the keyboard and just write something.  I guess it’s sometimes easy to forget that a blog is, ultimately, for the blog author.  Sometimes it almost begins to feel like an obligation.  I [...]

On Sen. Ted Kennedy

There’s so much to write about, and I’ve been off the air for so long, and I really don’t have time this morning, but I just had to crunch something in on Ted “Chappaquidick” Kennedy’s unfortunate diagnosis of a malignant brain tumor.
As tempted as I am to make a tongue-in-cheek comparison between “malignant tumor” and his [...]

And ya know, I’m just thinking…

After reading about the big hullabaloo down Tejas way with regards to a certain polygamist cult, I began to find myself a wondering…
Whyizzit that when a black man has multiple children with multiple women, it’s just a sad statement about our culture, perhaps a failure of the system to properly educate on birth control and [...]

Format C:\…Y or N_?

Sometimes don’t you wish you could defrag your brain?  Clear the cache, delete the temp files, dump those old files from “My Documents,” go to system tools and hit “Defragment Drive?”
So much of the crap cluttering up my brain is just junk, old leftover fragments of files and ghost images on the hard drive.  Little [...]

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 [...]
