Friday Night Music

Friday, June 10, 2011

Some weeks it’s hard to find stuff for this feature. I try hard not to repeat myself, which is not easy because, along with the fact that I grow old and forgetful, I don’t keep track of what I’ve already put up. A simple database would have been useful, but it’s too late now. I […]

Sarah and MIchelle ready to rumble

Wednesday, June 8, 2011

In these times of crumbling Empire, dysfunctional government and inept economic policy, we political junkies must take our pleasures where we find them. I wrote last week that if things turned out right we’d have a Michelle Bachmann-Sarah Palin fight to watch soon-the Iron Chef of crazy, if you will. Well, it’s already here. Ed […]

Tim Pawlenty-down for the count

Wednesday, June 8, 2011

A while back (I’m too lazy to link) I observed that no one presently running for, or considered as running for, the Republican nomination for President can possibly be nominated. This presents, of course, a paradox, because despite the fact that, when examined individually, each candidate comes up so woefully short that it is impossible […]

Rudy makes a strategic error

Monday, June 6, 2011

Rudy Giuliani is demanding that Mitt Romney apologize for the one halfway decent thing he did as governor of Massachusetts. I really think Rudy should think twice about this, especially if, as seems probable, he’s thinking about entering the race and repeating his 2008 flameout. Actually, he can’t do that, because this time there’ll be […]

O frabjous day!

Monday, June 6, 2011

Is there a way to put myself in suspended animation? Normally, I wouldn’t want to miss a summer but what with today’s developments, this world will seem to me “a sterile promontory”, the summer something merely to endure, for what is life when one must wait until September for real joy and happiness? The long […]

Calling George Orwell

Sunday, June 5, 2011

You may recall that Winston Smith, the protagonist in George Orwell’s 1984 worked at the Ministry of Truth. His job was to revise past history by changing the text in various sources and throwing the originals (or past alterations) down the memory hole. Needless to say it was tedious work, and who could be sure […]

Wildlife in Noank

Sunday, June 5, 2011

This seems to be our year for spotting relatively unusual wildlife. This comes, no doubt, from butting up against about 600 undeveloped acres, most of which is a state park. Deer are a commonplace, and not worth remarking upon. Last week a coyote walked through our yard in broad daylight. Unfortunately he or she did […]

One for the good guys

Saturday, June 4, 2011

A bit of both good and funny news from Florida: ? Last year, Warren and Maureen Nyerges, a retired couple in Naples, Florida, were hit with a mistaken foreclosure lawsuit by the Bank of America (remember, it’s the Bank of Satan). They had paid cash for their house in 2009, no mortgage, and thus no […]

Embarrassing

Friday, June 3, 2011

My God. I keep swearing I’ll never mention Sarah Palin again, but look at this. Sort of reminds me of that beauty contestant from South Carolina, but at least she didn’t pretend she wanted to be president. You can see that Sarah hasn’t the foggiest and she’s just making it up. In any rational world […]
