    2024 Presidential Debate 1: So Long, Joe

    Trump “won” this debate inasmuch as Joe Biden turned in a performance so appalling that Democrats are now determined to ditch him. Mumbly, muttering, off on tangents, convinced that America has 100 trillionaires, sleepy, feeble, angry and confused, Joe Biden’s frailty can no longer be denied. All those Democrats who days ago said he was…

  • A tip to save money if you use MetroNet

    My wife bought us an EERO router/booster set like the one that we were leasing every month from MetroNet for our Internet at home. It was a Black Friday deal, but I hadn’t set it up for a few months because I feared it would be a nightmare, but it wasn’t. When we got it…

  • Six Real Islands of Horror

    I found this in Drafts. No clue why it’s been there a decade or more. Enjoy it now that all the pictures on that article don’t work! I hate Cracked.com. Mostly because it’s an addictive site that can eat up productivity like no one’s business. Just one list after another. They have some very witty…

    HalloweenRex 5: Psycho (1960)

    I’m going to try to recommend a new movie each day until Halloween. Psycho is the Citizen Kane of horror dramas.

  • Zardoz is just like Star Wars

    My buddy Chuck Dixon said this on Facebook, about working in a video store:  My manager got mad at me when I laughed at him for buying five copies of Zardoz. (we were a small town store) He told me that the rep told him it was “just like Star Wars.”

  • How did I not see this?

    How did I not see this?

    So, on January 6th, tens of thousands of Trump fans gathered to hear President Donald Trump speak in Washington D.C. in a major “Stop the Steal” rally. As we all know, this turned into a riot and an invasion of the Capitol. Almost immediately, the right began wondering if this was instigated by people who…

  • We Need Voting Reform

    We need voting reform. Nationwide. I don’t know if we need a commission, or an amendment to the Constitution, or what, but this is embarrassing. We all see the loopholes and trapdoors and flaws so big you can fly a 747 through them. We have people on video committing fraud and the secretary of state…

  • First Female President?

    First Female President?

    If Biden is sworn in, I wish him better health than he appears to have. But only because it will be a horrible thing if the first woman president is someone who only has a political career because she slept with a guy and then only got on the ticket from rank tokenism. (“It will…

  • Hey, Newsweek, What States Can We Cheat In?

    I went looking for a list of the states that will collect ballots after the election. I found a Newsweek (I know) piece entitled “These states invalidate mail-in ballots after Election Day.” A better title would be “Here Are The 16 States That Will Enable Rampant Fraud In The Upcoming Election.” (Plus Washington DC) Aside…

  • It’s Not Always Your Court To Pack

    Democrats are already offering up the idea that if Trump rushes through a replacement, Biden and a Democratic Congress will threaten to expand the Supreme Court with two more justices. Question: Do Democrats never consider that they won’t always be in charge? Whether it’s getting rid of the filibuster, or the Electoral College, or packing…
