It’s not me, it’s you.
I’ve been reading back through this blog and have come to a conclusion: I write really well. But let that pass. Here’s a thought I had after reading one of my Liberal Rants posts.[1] The post is titled Amygdalas. Why is it always amygdalas?, and it’s an explication of a spam email that invites you […]
It’s simpler than you think
You may recall — if you even noticed it — that last week the CDC changed its guidelines on Covid-19 testing again. Short version: In August, the White House told the CDC to post that people who had been exposed to someone with the virus didn’t need to be tested. The whole world raised its […]
The solution exists, Kenneth
The novel coronavirus pandemic and our consequent Captivity have resulted in financial catastrophe both for regular workers and business owners, and no real solution has been proposed other than the vacuous “OPEN UP THE ECONOMY, KENNETH!” Businesses can’t open, and workers cannot work. Paychecks evaporate. Rent vanishes. Choices have to be made between groceries and […]
Sharknado: The Trumpering
The other night our friends Marc and Mary Frances were over, and after dinner Marc suggested we find some lame movie to watch and goof on. We ended up going with my suggestion of Sharknado, and I have some thoughts. First of all, if you’re not familiar with Sharknado, you need to be. It — […]

First of all, it’s OK to acknowledge that you’re an amygdala-based lifeform, that you require regular doses of fear and anger to make your brain work. You are not alone; many […]
Saying the pledge
After the tsimmis last week of the kid being arrested for not saying the pledge to the flag[1] in a Florida (!) school, I have studiously avoided writing this post — and to be honest I thought I had already written it. But I think the story is worth telling. First, let me state up […]
They vote
A friend sent me the link to gov-elect Brian Kemp’s Facebook page, where he plugs his Kemp Store: buy a Brian Kemp Christmas ornament for your tree! Yep, it’s pretty tasteless, and even his supporters are looking at it with raised eyebrows and pursed lips. (Some are even complaining about shoddy service from said store. […]
It’s the ignorance, Kenneth.
::sigh:: This graphic has been floating around the FaceTubes for a couple of weeks: Can you not feel the panic rising? Is your amygdala not entertained? Dogs and cats living together, etc etc. I for one am the outrage. Here are the lies and the complete miscomprehension of basic truths. Pass it on. (1) DEAR […]
