friday random elevenish: “only mostly dead, but walking” edition

28 Feb

I can’t breathe. Seriously, I swear, I have gotten sick more often this year than I have in recent memory. It sucks. It doesn’t help that I’ve seen the sun maybe once in the last three or four days, and I’ve been shanghai’d into mostly pointless training most of the week, which has thrown off […]

“at least it’s an ethos” – where I’m sitting on politics today

24 Feb

So, three primary contests in. three or four percent of the delagates committed. Over 50 contests left to go. The media has essentially already called it for Sanders. Y’know, I like Bernie Sanders. I voted for him in the primary four years ago. He’s got some wonderful ideas, which his advocacy for last time around […]

friday random elevenish: “they said ‘snow’ on the radio” edition

21 Feb

That title up there kind of says it all about where the hell the mid-Atlantic is right now.

I’m […]

friday random elevenish: “cheaper than therapy” edition

14 Feb

This week, I tell ya. It’s bad enough that I haven’t see the sun since Saturday, and then only from the car. Ridiculous number of phone calls with bureaucrats convinced their particular “prestigious” geographic location gives them license to skirt policy and procedures (fuck them, btw). People needing things and being annoyingly persistent about it […]

friday random elevenish: “headline whiplash” edition

07 Feb

You could say it was an eventful week for the nation. As I write this, Iowa has finally all but gotten it’s results from Monday’s caucuses out, and honestly, I was kind of surprised to see Mayor Pete come out on top, though the top three (Pete, along with Bernie and Liz) appear pretty close, […]

uncertainty in iowa

03 Feb

Given the tightness of the polling and sheer number of candidates, in the top tier or otherwise, anybody who claims any authority in knowing how the Iowa Caucuses tonight are going to shake out is full of it, unless they tell you they have no idea. That doesn’t mean they won’t, or that we don’t […]
