"Not today, you filthy old man." We seemed to have slipped past the equinox and into official Spring without much notice. Especially outside here where there's still sheets of ice and piles of snow. We might actually have above-freezing temps today, which would be...
Oddly, we had our local election in Glibs Gulch on Wednesday rather than Tuesday because of a state law forbidding elections on St. Patrick's Day. That seems counterintuitive since before voting is absolutely the most appropriate time to take a few slugs. In any case,...
"I am the candidate for simple farmers, people of the land. The common clay." I bet you thought I'd talk about the impending St. Patrick's Day and the annual excuse for alcoholic excess. Especially given my Irish heritage- my family originates in the eastern part of...
In which I preface the news with some cynical observations. And bang-bangs.
As much as I think I can’t be surprised by stupidity, I continue to be surprised by stupidity. Let me present some examples.

SP spent most of the week driving across the country to visit her family, so Wonder Dog and I are leading the bachelor life, other than not chasing girls. What we are doing is making a mess, farting at will, and scratching. Highlight of my work week: in response to an...
Well, half of that is true.
SP, Wonder Dog, and I are re-enacting the stuff of many novels and movies. But that doesn’t slow down the news.
There is no Yin without Yang.
C’mon, admit it, all the shit going on is entertaining. And here’s a few guffaws and chuckles to brighten your weekend.
aka The Public Be Hanged. But hey, Links.

Sometimes sitting in the stands eating popcorn is a lot more fun than actually being in the circus. So here’s some Links, and I swear, I didn’t cut the bottom out of the popcorn box. This time.
