A brief Super Bowl day rant having nothing to do with the Super Bowl

Sunday, February 12, 2023

There are a lot of things to rant about these days, and this rant is likely on one of the least important topics, but it’s still indicative of something that is seriously wrong with our media ecosystem. There are certain politicians who should be nonentities, yet they tend to attract about 90% of the media […]

Today’s rant

Tuesday, February 7, 2023

As this is my blog I have every right to gripe endlessly about certain subjects. Today I’m combining one old gripe with one I don’t think I’ve ever bloviated about before. First up, yet another gripe about the inability of Democrats to get their message across. What led to this was this article at the […]

A righteous rant

Thursday, September 8, 2022

I was perusing my RSS Reader this morning, and came upon this post, in which the blogger at Above the Law righteously rants about various parties objecting to a settlement in an antitrust case against Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), which, based on the description in the post, was engaging in some heavy duty violations […]

Stop me if I’ve bloviated on this before

Saturday, September 3, 2022

My wife and I have a little daily ritual. I read her the on-this-date entries from my diary. While Trump was in office I would normally note his crime of the day, but I usually skip the Trump stuff so far as what I read to my wife. But I read them to myself, and […]

A righteous rant

Friday, August 26, 2022

Okay, this is just a little too much. Biden is just giving away thousands of dollars to people who owe student loans, just because they are a crushing burden on millions of people, particularly the people who’ve been scammed by for-profit colleges like a certain Very Stable Genius University. Well, I’m on the side of […]

A midsummer night’s rant

Sunday, June 19, 2022

Two years ago I ranted on this blog about the left’s inability to craft its message, in that case excoriating whatever leftist (if he or she wasn’t a right wing mole) crafted the phrase “defund the police”. There are two sides to the left’s failure in this regard. Not only do we fail to craft […]

Curmudgeon time

Wednesday, March 16, 2022

Ukraine is on everyone’s mind, and I’ve got nothing to add to the discourse, except Putin bad, Tucker bad, and Ukraine good. So, on to something trivial, which at the moment is all I can wrap my head around. Yesterday, the Senate voted for something unanimously. That alone should scare the daylights out of anyone, […]

On what planet do these pundits reside?

Tuesday, March 8, 2022

How deluded do you have to be to snare a guest spot on the New York Times op-ed page? Today we are treated to an op-ed by Melissa Murray, who is a professor of law at New York University. It seems fairly clear that Professor Murray is unaware of the political developments taking place over […]

First rant of the year

Wednesday, January 5, 2022

If you’re like me you get about a hundred or more emails a day asking for your money in support of some good cause. Needless to say the senders are aware that they are just one of many clogging the nation’s in-boxes, so they try hard to have a subject line that attracts. This rant […]

The Deep State Goes Even Deeper!!!

Friday, December 10, 2021

This is really scary: In Pittsburgh, Memphis and Los Angeles, massive billboards recently popped up declaring, “Birds Aren’t Real.” On Instagram and TikTok, Birds Aren’t Real accounts have racked up hundreds of thousands of followers, and YouTube videos about it have gone viral. Last month, Birds Aren’t Real adherents even protested outside Twitter’s headquarters in […]
