Things That Burn My Ass
It’s November and here we go again. Every time the holiday season rolls around arrogant, uninformed Christians start insisting that “Jesus is the reason for the season.” Here and now, fully a week before Thanksgiving, I’m seeing memes on Facebook about “It’s Merry Christmas, not Happy Holidays.” They seem to not notice that there are THREE holidays coming up. Can I not wish you happiness for all three? Or am I supposed to itemize a list? WTF do you people expect?! Continue reading
Things We Fight About
As a middle-of-the-road kind of guy, at times I feel like I am surrounded by nut-jobs of every stripe. Far-left, far-right, religious zealots, hateful anti-theists, anarchists, anti-capitalists, etc etc etc. The list is endless. And me?

Why such a negative prognosis? Let’s take a look…

The Eternal Infernal Gun Debate

And once again the anti-gun crowd is demanding more gun control while people like Charlie Kirk try to balance gun violence with personal freedom. Continue reading
Random Observations – January 2023
So I’ve been sitting here in Denny’s for an hour *after* finishing my burger. Surfing the news, FB, IMDB and Reddit. And in the back of my tired mind I’ve been stewing over several bits of unrelated bullshit, upon which I will now expound. Mind you, I’m not proclaiming anything. I’m merely opinionating. Why I expect anyone would care is a mystery even to me. Continue reading
