Welcome to Planet Real World

We're having a bit of a Tech meltdown. I've seen this one before. Got the t-shirt. Been my third, at least. What's different about this one is the sheer number of spoiled tech workers. I've seen videos from Twitter and Google employees. This is the latest one I've seen: https://youtu.be/7sGBLFi_WCI The Twitter one was nearly … Continue reading Welcome to Planet Real World →

End of an Era

Pat Buchanan hung up his keyboard. The man had a sense of clarity that few have today. I've spent the last 30 years or so reading his columns and books. Some books were epic - like his tome on WW2, which at the end explained how entangling alliances caused us no end of misery. Entangling … Continue reading End of an Era →

That’s Hardly Fair

I was listening to talk radio in the morning, as I normally do, and the host was prattling on about the Republican upstarts putting in a bill for a fair tax. Fair tax being - getting rid of income tax, and instituting a 30% sales tax. That's hardly fair. First off I believe the income … Continue reading That’s Hardly Fair →

Yeah…That’s a Big Fat Nope.

News this week was that the consumer product safety commission want's to ban our gas stoves. More here. Then they said no, we weren't planning on that. Apparently, it had to do with rascisms. The output of the gas stove hurts the poor and vibrant's cognitive ability. Sure. I think that's a chicken and egg … Continue reading Yeah…That’s a Big Fat Nope. →

A Damn Shame

Adam Piggot closed off his comments, just like Vox Day did awhile ago. Why? Gamma sperging, that's why. Can't say as I blame him. There's a population on the web that you can tell has never taken a shot to the gob for mouthing off. They feel entitled to leave horrible comments on blogs and … Continue reading A Damn Shame →

Truth

I've seen this floating around quite a bit: I can't argue with much of that. At the Tom Thumb I frequent, the carts can be found in these concrete holders in the parking lot. It's rare that one is loose in the wild. But the WalMart near me? Fuggeddaboutit. Carts everywhere. And just not in … Continue reading Truth →

When in Rome…

...do as the Romans. The new year is off to a rough start. I was off between Christmas and New Year's, and as tradition, I wasn't well for most of it. I had a flu like thing hit before Christmas, and it really hadn't gone away until a few days ago. Add to that the … Continue reading When in Rome… →

mene, mene, tekel, parsin

“Here is what these words mean: Mene[e]: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end. 27 Tekel[f]: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting. 28 Peres[g]: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.” Daniel 5:26 Big news this week was Orangemanbad Trump … Continue reading mene, mene, tekel, parsin →

Free at last, Free at last…

Well maybe not "at last" I knew I had jury duty this week, but forgot what day it was. Turns out, it was today. I was dreading it. Nothing worse than to commute down to the hood to sit, asses and elbows, with the rest of the wreched waiting for the doom of actually being … Continue reading Free at last, Free at last… →

The Red Puddle

The elections were the other day. So what? Supposed to be a red wave. More like a red puddle. or Piddle. You know when you don't give it a good enough shake and end up with piddle down your leg. Feels sort of like that. Lot of good quotes though: What kind of political system … Continue reading The Red Puddle →
