I might be the nicest person you'll ever meet, but if you don't believe me, that is because I hate you. I went to war, I went to father, I came, I saw, and it is a mess. I wouldn't have it any other way. Shitty people amuse me, people who act like human volcanoes fascinate me like fine art. Life is beautiful, and it is under attack in a manner heretofore unseen in history. I came to remind you of this, not make it worse. I might be writing a blog. Yes, that's all I am doing, now that I think about it. If you have a bad memory, you will forget this. Even I forget sometimes, so we're cool.
Looking at my bookmarks, I see that I’ve been avoiding this post for about 3 months. But Charlottesville, Virginia failed to stop a white riot on Saturday that wound up killing a counterprotestor, so it’s the perfect time to list some of the signs and signals that would tell anyone who wanted to know that […]
The world’s most childish, heedless and mentally unstable leaders who happen to have very dangerous toys are locking nuclear horns. Listen carefully. No one wins a nuclear exchange, really. I have intimated in the past that America is still trying to game out an unanswered atomic first strike. And I fear we may now have […]
If I were a fireworks show, you’d probably want your money back. My first salvos were promising, but my launches started fizzling and we had several duds in the arsenal. There certainly was no grand finale. Because those fucking God stickers did not come off the Grovetown cop vehicles. They won. This happened in part […]
Well, it didn’t take long for me to realize that being humble and a bit penitent was unnecessary in my dustup with Mayor Gary Jones of Grovetown. We made state news today. The coverage was better than what we got from Aiken. In my last post here, I felt the need to clarify what had […]
First off, I want to say thank you to everybody who saw my little story about a bullying small-town mayor and came to my defense. However, a lot of it was offense. Many of you have posted his phone number and his email address. I hope those routes are not personal ones. You have every […]
I keep returning to the asshole well. That’s because it doesn’t run dry. In my to do list is to finish the goddamn story about how I became a lefty, and I’ve been compiling stories that suggest to me that something big is gonna go down in America, like in a violent way. When (or […]
I do a lot of news reading. And I have watched with sadness and more than a bit of anger when I see nontraditional “beliefs” get pummeled by obnoxious flouting of the bedrock principle of the separation of church and state, a principle that endures despite today’s renaissance of fascistic Christian supremacy. Surely most of […]
OK, Liz Warren, you win. I think I’ve finally been ground down. It’s not really the special election losses. We came damn close here in Georgia with Jon Ossoff, even though I knew he wouldn’t win. The only reason that Ossoff had any juice (well, besides the allegations that the election was a referendum on […]
Numbers usually don’t lie, unless the math is bad. But mostly numbers tell less lies than words do. In the early hours of November 9, 2016, we began digging a shallow grave for the science of polling. Everybody who was somebody in the polling industry around that time was dead wrong about who was going […]
“God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”-Galatians 6:7 Sometimes the Bible is capable of poetry. I mean, on balance it’s kind of a dry read, but there’s a reason so many people keep reading it for reasons other than scaring themselves straight. Much like its cousin, The […]
