Why you are going to miss George Bush

Yep. That's right. You are going to miss him.     Fat chance.     You will miss him. Just give it time.     I sincerely doubt it but you are welcome to try to defend King George.   Oh no- I'm not going to try to defend him. In many ways his generally incoherent style of public speaking made him one of the most ineffective presidents in living memory because he simply failed to explain his policies.     Don't you mean the worst in history?   No. I'm older than most of you and re

That Call you Don't Want

I got that call that you don't want today.   I've been dreading it. I hoped it would take longer.   My brothers battle with cancer is over. He's going home for hospice care.    We don't know how long he'll last but it's not expected to be long.    This is why I've been away a lot. Silly cat pictures is about all I can manage at the moment.    I'll be back.

My Dumb Ass Of The Year Award

Given the actual existence of Kanye West, it is difficult for anyone to be a bigger dumb ass but this summer, some one has risen to the challenge.   My dumb ass of the year: county clerk of Rowan County, KY Kim Davis.     This attractiveness challenged individual has been divorced 4 times. She has taken it upon herself to stand tall for the sanctity of marriage by refusing to give gay couple marriage licenses.   Only the most incredibly tone deaf, insensitive idiots would fail to see th

I'm out of here

I'm tired of the bias.   I'm tired of getting penalized for disagreeing with DK.   OK he owns the place. Fine.   It's all his.

Real Statistics - The Truth About Guns And Crime In The Us

As a math geek I can really geek out on statistics.   It is said that statistics can be made to say anything and that is true if you play games with the numbers. I don't.   Those numbers actually say things that don't jive with the political narrative.   Those are the numbers we really need to pay attention to.           Per Capita Gun Ownership: 112 guns per 100 people   The US is #1 worldwide in gun ownership with more guns than people.1       Now- let's look at the US Homici

Get a Load of this Ass-wipe!

I know that there are political differences and all but why is it that the closet-case weirdos always seem to end up being family values republicans?   We've seen it over and over and over and over... The hypocrisy of this individual is astonishing!   Check it out. This isn't about politics. It's about an ill f**ker who stood on the anti-gay grandstand while he was giving $20 blow jobs in public rest rooms.     Fla. lawmaker arrested in gay sex sting Advocate News July 12, 2007 Sou

70s Culture

You young barbarians with no culture need enlightenment.    You are ignorant of the good old days.    I shall attempt to enlighten you about our ancient culture.   Wacky Packages Our generation giving the finger to consumer culture.   Over the Edge (1978) This movie is 100% authentic seventies. If you want to know what the 70s were really like, look it up. It's on YouTube.

Microbes Never Quit SO VACCINATE!

Infectious diseases have changed the course of whole civilizations.   There is archaeological evidence suggesting that plagues may have wiped out or caused huge changes in several prehistoric civilizations.(1)   The Antonine Plague (2) of 165–180 AD was a major factor in weakening the Roman Empire to the point that it could be defeated. Most people think it was smallpox but we can’t be sure.   Black Death(3) was the most devastating pandemic in human history killing

Real Life (is being a bitch)

My Mom is in hospice care. I'm glad someone else is doing it because I just couldn't. I'm going to lose her, but in truth, she's already gone. I keep going to her bedside and reading to her. She smiles. I know she hears me. It won't be long now. She has Dysphagia, an inability to swallow, and is losing weight rapidly. If I vanish for a while, I have much to do.

Planetary Follies

Astronomers lean toward eight planets August 22, 2006 Stephen Battersby, Prague NewScientist.com Source Link   Finally, astronomers could be homing in on a definition of the word planet. After a day of public bickering in Prague, followed by negotiations behind closed doors, the latest draft resolution was greeted with a broadly friendly reception. If accepted on Thursday, it would be bad news for Pluto, which would no longer be a full-fledged planet.   The crucial change in "draft

Fear & Loathing

I've got this little problem. It's called Traumatic Glaucoma. Granted anything that can make you go blind is pretty traumatic in itself but this refurs to a specific type of glaucoma that occurs sometimes many years after blunt force type injury to the eyes.   Like getting punched in the eyes.   My teen years were particulary difficult. I was outted at the age of 13 the summer before 7th grade started in a redneck town in Mississippi. By my count I've had twenty something concussions, 6 bro

This will drive the rednecks bat shit crazy

This might be a bad idea. Probably- I've had them before.   I think that it reminds me of the controversy over the word queer.   To those of us in the South there's no word quite so hateful. Wrapping my mind around the concept of taking that word back took a lot of getting used to.   Those of us that are either from the South or live here know a lot about hate. Just today in the local paper there was a whole editorial page dripping with it.   They call us unstable- after tormenting us fr

Rebuilt Office

Back around Halloween I was hit with some minor flooding. Anyone who has been hit by flooding can tell you it's never minor. It sucks. It's a major hassle. I have finally gotten things worked out.   One of my aims was to re work my office and after a solid two weeks of work (which is still ongoing) here are the results.   I've installed a U-shaped desk in one end of the room, added bookshelves and an entertainment center from this millennium. It's been fun but a lot of work.     This i

five years

Today I've been clean and sober 5 years.   I've been through a lot of changes in that time- not all of them for the better. Seen some difficult times that I would have really rather been somewhere else.   It's not easy starting again after 40. If you use drugs and alcohol, I suggest getting clean and sober earlier. People love to give second chances to young people. When you are older, I guess they figure that you should know better. It's much harder and takes more grit than most people have

Seven Ex-boyfriends that you don't Want

The Drunk     Fun and charming, the drunk loses some of his appeal when you sober up. After he's drank all your booze and pissed on your bed, the puke in your closet is the last straw.   The problem with drunks is that they forget that you threw them out. You have to break up with them dozens of times for it to take. Even then, they show up drunk and horny at 2am or make those wonderful calls in the middle of the night.   The only sure way to get rid of them: tell them about how well yo

Gun Nuttery

I have learned that there is a significant difference in culture between the cities and the country.   In the country, we are raised around guns. We grow up hunting. A great many of us are veterans. Guns aren't an object of fear. They are simply another tool.   Locally there are two serious nuisance pests: wild hogs (wildpiginfo.msstate.edu) and nutria rat (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coypu). Wild hogs are dangerous and cause huge amounts of crop damage and kill and eat everything in the woods. Nu

Disposable

I decided a long time ago that I was no damned good. I got all sorts of messages growing up that told me so. First and foremost was the way that I was treated by people that I thought were my friends.   Most of you know I never chose to be out. It's something that most people wait until they are ready for. I didn't have that choice. Someone else made it for me at the age of 13 deep in the heart of the bible belt in the mid seventies. What followed I wouldn't wish on anyone.   The thing that

Not doing so hot

I took an insanity day and went fishing. I didn't tell people and some folks panicked.   No- I am not doing so well. No- I'd rather not talk about it.   Yes- I have a boyfriend named Randy who was a little irked at me for vanishing. We haven't been together long enough for him to know that I occasionally have to get away from people or go off on somebody.   When I get this way getting out in the country is the best thing for me.   I'm going to be gone a while. I've got some stuff to fig

How I feel all the time

I'm tired. Being the local freak-tard is exhausting. I have reached the point to where I despise them as much for their pity and charity as their ignorance and superstition. Humans really are despicable and disgusting animals. It is better to be a beast.

Gay Challenged

How can I say this without being offensive?   If gay people went to gay school, I would ride the gay short bus.   I must be the most incompetent gay man in North America.   I would rather hunt than shop.   When I'm in a new city, I check out the hardware stores to see if they have magical kung-fu tools that I've never seen before.   My wardrobe has more in common with Walmart and Target than Pierre Cardin or Brooks Brothers.   I drive a truck with a big steel toolbox that has everyth

the word "Diet" is "Die" with a T

I've been dieting and I hate it. Why is it that everything in the Southern diet has too much cholesterol, fat or sugar? Maybe it would help if we didn't roll everything in flour and lemon-pepper and fry it.   Salad and pasta and fruit oh my! Salad and pasta and fruit oh my!   I'm sorry but I'm a carnivore. Nothing made of meat is safe near me at the moment. I'm liable to kill it and fry it. I'm hoping that my cat will bring me a squirrel carcass.   Awe- screw it. I'm going to Wendy'

The hazards of sobreity

Coming up Oct. 1st, I'll have been clean and sober for two years.   At first it was really hard passing up the sleezy bars and liquor stores. I really missed going to meet dangerous characters in dangerous allies to buy weed.   Being drunk and stoned was for a while.. liberating. I do something stupid my friends would laugh it off. I was really drunk at the time was like a get out of trouble free card. Sorry I screwed your boyfriend at the party. I was so drunk I can barely remember it.

Guys That You'll Sleep With In College

The Athlete   OK. You can stand the competitiveness to get next to those pecs and abs. It's not that he looks like a Greek god chiseled out of marble that turns you on about him. It's that dreamy look in his eye.   It takes about a month to figure out that when he gets that dreamy look, he's thinking of somebody else.       Mr. Perfect   No. He's not a wrestler except in the sack. Mr. Perfect is everything you always wanted... except for the cheating and the clap.       The Hip
