Remember when I said this back in March? As was completely expected, McCain went there, is using Clinton’s “Commander-in-Chief” line to attack Obama. The McCain camp is going to come up with enough mud to sling on their own; there’s really no need to hand stuff to them. I really wish Clinton’s camp would have […]

Not to diminish the reasons and motivations behind the actual celebration of Memorial Day, a worthy day of remembrance and celebration of the service of our nation’s veterans, that more people perhaps ought to consider (particularly, you know, people in power right now, and those seeking power), but I’d honestly rather just put this particular […]

You know the Democratic primary season has been wearing on too long when not one, but two “respectable” media outlets have likened Hillary Clinton’s campaign to a Monty Python skit. Oh, and PythOnline had something as well, so five three instances. At least. I suspect there are probably more. But none of them repeat the […]

It took me three and a half hours to drive to DC this morning. I-95 was pretty much a parking lot from Fredericksburg to the mixing bowl in Springfield. A very wet parking lot (thankfully, I was going slow the whole time – I’ve got that flakey braked Stratus again). I had a lot of […]

Much ado has been made recently about the “gas tax holiday” idea being thrown around by Senators Clinton and McCain as a means of providing relief from high gas prices this summer. According to these two presidential candidates (and pretty much no one else), suspending the 18-point-something cents per gallon federal tax for a three […]

According to teh internets, The incomparable Molly joined Jonathan Coulton and Paul And Storm on stage at a show in Seattle, Washington for a couple of tunes the other night. Thankfully, there is ample Youtube coverage of the event, though I am currently unable to view said footage, as I am behind a flash-video blocking […]

This week, for all kinds of reasons – some obvious, some still a mystery – I am utterly and entirely exhausted, on all kinds of levels, both physical and otherwise. I need a break, but it’s unlikely I’m going to get one any time soon. I want spring break too! “Livin’ On A Prayer” – […]

Deep in the bowels of this establishment, there exists a vending machine that, long after all the other vending machines upped their prices, continued to dispense cool, refreshing Coca-Cola products at the bargain price of one dollar.  Being the cheapskate that I am, I would often take a long walk out of my way in […]

some moron script kiddie trashed the guest book last night, so I had to rebuild it.  All the entries are gone. Who am I kidding, there were only  three anyway, and one of them was me.  It really doesn’t matter a whole lot.  If you signed it, your comment is gone, so feel free to […]

It was as if an occult hand had reached down from above and surreptitiously adjusted my alarm clock ahead twelve hours. An occult hand, perhaps, but more likely, it was a bored former occupant of my hotel room having a bit of a laugh at my non-observant expense. Damn the lack of standards which exist […]
