Thankful It's Over - For Now

Political discord: forgiven and forgotten when smothered in gravy.

Technology

Forget Artificial. Can We Just Get Some Intelligence?

The bad guys are always one step ahead.

Health Care

The Turkey that Destroyed US Healthcare

The swarthy and sinister RFK Jr, the one who appears every bit as baked - physically and mentally - as that dead brown bird on your Thanksgiving table, is dismantling what's left of America's health care system.

OK, I'll Weigh In

Well, here we go again.

Trump

Incoming!

Keeping up with this is is giving me whiplash.

Trump

Another Man Without a Country

Look how far we have come! The Supreme Court has given the current and all future presidents immunity, and we have a man in the White House who is lying about being a pedophile and hanging out with a character who facilitated acting on those urges.

Texas Politics

Everything is Political

When football teams make mistakes - to use Abbott's metaphor - 300 people don’t die. Kerr County officials and the state avoided funding a flood warning system, in one instance, because the money was from the Biden administration. They didn’t want no stanky Democratic President’s money.

Texas Politics

The Three Pendejos!

The idea that "no one could have seen this coming," or that "nothing could have been done," being repeated by officials is just a deflective exercise in CYA. (Cover Your Ass.) And did you know that Ken Paxton had an affair?

Trump

Remain Calm. All is Well.

The doom loop has officially begun.

Trump

Thank you For Your Attention To This Matter

No more endless wars...OK, except this one.

Trump

The Thrill is Gone

Your nighttime dreams are forgotten as you doomscroll yourself awake. There's no time for daydreams as your phone pings with every Trump alert. Our mental health is in decline as the country falls off the World Happiness Chart.

Texas Politics

Loving Texas is Hard Sometimes

The Texas of my imagination collides with Dan Patrick.

Religion

False Profits

Evangelicals have become a political force in this country, and they hope to take over every facet of our existence. Trump, an irreligious man, has them all fooled into believing he is a believer. He has never read the Bible, but, if asked, he’d respond with, “Nobody knows more about God than me.”

Trump

We'd Nail Him Up Again

He would call her a “Radical Left hard-line Trump hater” on his Truth Social site. He demanded that the Bishop apologize. Because she asked for mercy.

Culture

Words, Words, Words

Like any modern cultural contagion, nonsensical corporate blather has spread to civilian use, mainly via social media. We hardly do anything in person anymore, so you're likely to hear this junk being overused as you scroll your Facetagram pages, or whatever media you pay attention to.

Election

Death Branding and Other Cons

"It is all marketing and brand because the reason people choose things 98 percent of the time is not rational. It’s emotional."

When the Elite Meet to Eat

"You ain't gonna get any nouveau, amandine, thin crust, bottled water, sauteed city food. Food's brown, hot, and plenty of it." -Cookie, the Chuck Wagon cook in "City Slickers"

education

Darwin, Schmarwin. My Kid Ain't Learnin' That!

How about we just call it, "counter-indoctrination?"
