Open Letter to Gibsons

Gibsons is a bakery, actually more of a general store, in Oberlin, Ohio that's been in business for something like 137 years. It's a tiny town, and they are the only sort of store within walking distance where you can buy needful things, other than a Ben Franklin next door to it. They have about … Continue reading Open Letter to Gibsons →

All Fun & Games…

Apparently, Biden was crammed full of Adderall and gave a speech last night for the benefit of the 342 people watching CNN and MSNBC. I didn't watch it because I can't stand the man or to hear him talk. I was the same way with Obama. I'd fixate on that head rotating back and forth … Continue reading All Fun & Games… →

It’s all BS, Part 2

I listen to talk radio every morning as I feed myself and the dogs. Usually, it's Mark Davis on 660AM. I like the banter between him and Mike Gallagher every morning. This morning they had a converstation about how republicans are in trouble over the Dobbs decision. Supposedly Gallagher had 'conservative women' callers from Texas … Continue reading It’s all BS, Part 2 →

It’s all BS, Part 1

Miguel at GunFreeZone had a great piece up about heating oil. There's a smell to an old city when it gets cold. You have the snap of the air and a faint industrial smell which seems to make the city colder. It's not industry, since where I grew up, Washington DC area, had no heavy … Continue reading It’s all BS, Part 1 →

Herd People

Vox Day had a great post Tuesday. First time I saw the term "Herd People". What a great term. It doesn’t matter how smart you are if you are psychologically unable to analyze anything outside of what previously recognized authorities have told you to believe: Vox Day I run into these types all the time. I used … Continue reading Herd People →

Woketarded

We spent some time with friends this weekend. After dinner we were chatting and catching up. Turns out their daughter, who's in college, calls her dad and chastises him about his white privelege. This couple is younger than us, lives in a modest house in the neighborhood that they, no doubt, bought long before the … Continue reading Woketarded →

Glorious Future World

Arthur Sido had a post up the other day about how TPTB want to turn us into Brazil. I've seen this more than once, floating around the interwebs. There's also a corollary to this about how AI is going to put us all out of jobs. So we need to go to some sort of … Continue reading Glorious Future World →

Tell the Beetle to Shuddup

Robert Francis (AKA Beto) O'Rourke was apparently at a school of some sort, flapping his lips about education (h/t Divemedic): https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1554960448616800256 O'Rourke is, of course, an idiot whose only accomplishments seem to be growing up affluent and marrying into money. He's a nobody former backbencher in congress for a few terms that appeals to the … Continue reading Tell the Beetle to Shuddup →

Way to Go, Granny Winebox

What is granny winebox doing going to Taiwan? Antagonizing the Chinese, for sure, that's what. All over talk radio, and in the press, like where I linked, I hear "We can do anything we want, We're Americans". Really? Even though they've been threatening? They don't appear to be bluffing. Will they shoot her down? Probably … Continue reading Way to Go, Granny Winebox →

A Binary Choice

A long time ago in a city far away, I used to work on call center gear. I'd travel around with a co-worker, Dan the Call Center Man. Dan was a classic liberal. He was an interesting dude, and we became friends, even though he was of the left and me on the right. We'd … Continue reading A Binary Choice →
