Is the earth round? Opinions differ!

Tuesday, March 28, 2023

When I was in college it was a given that the function of a teacher, particularly a science teacher, was to teach the facts. For instance, the earth is an orb, flattened at the poles a bit, but basically round. It was pretty much understood that if a student insisted on maintaining that the earth […]

A low level rant

Sunday, March 19, 2023

I get most of my news from various blogs. While they tend to be left of center sort of places, I think I’m fairly good at separating the wheat from the chaff, that is, fact from opinion. It occurred to me a few days ago that one must wonder why certain bloggers have not been […]

Both Siderism to the 10th power

Monday, February 27, 2023

Any regular readers of this blog, should they exist, know that I’m a big fan of Driftglass, who has spent years document bothsiderism and the attendant atrocities. It’s a shame that he isn’t aware of today’s New London Day, which has once again bent over backward to so far to be “fair and balanced” it […]

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, […]
