Where have I been?! Well. I had visitors, then a weekend off, then more visitors and the Derby party, then a weekend off, and now I’m going on a belated Mother’s Day trip and visit with friends. Hooray! So…you get three posts in one day. Are you excited? I thought you would be. And here [...]

Y’all Know My Favorite Epitaph By Now, Right?

Yes, because it’s time to remind folks about it again. (Ken. Cuccinelli. I. Am. Looking. At. You.) Here was buried Thomas Jefferson Author of the Declaration of American Independence of the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom and Father of the University of Virginia Born April 2, 1743 O.S. Died July 4, 1826 Wahoowa! In [...]
I Need a Mantra

Because when I see crap like this, I have to close my eyes, and clench my fists, and whisper over and over: “Freedom of speech is a good thing” “Freedom of speech is a good thing” “Freedom of speech is a good thing” Really, Westboro Baptist Church? God smote the mountain? Let me tell you: [...]
Mavericky!

Yeah, that’s right. He’s so mavericky, he’s telling Newsweek that he’s not even a maverick any more. In fact, if you should think that he ever was a maverick, that must mean you are going rogue or something. Many of the GOP’s most faithful, the kind who vote in primaries despite 115-degree heat, tired long [...]
Amazing Headlines

It’s a day for them, evidently. A friend posted this link on his Facebook page: Terrorists Could Use Explosives in Breast Implants to Crash Planes, Experts Warn Which was pretty much the funniest thing I’ve seen in days. I mean: Come. On. Now, I could write a whole serious post about security theatre. It never [...]
If stuff this idiotic can be published by a NYT columnist, then I am obviously getting short-changed on the reader count for this blog (not that I don’t love you guys! I do!). Or, I chose the wrong line of work when casting about after the USSR collapsed. Oh, wait. President Obama is older than [...]
Something for Nothing

So, this week the “temporary” Metro fare increases took effect. Yesterday I managed to catch a bus from the Metro stop to the office, and the man who got on after me spent my entire ride ranting at the top of his lungs that his fare was $1.45. I’m not kidding; I wear noise-isolating earbuds [...]
South Crazy-lina

You remember how I posted about the South Carolina Lieutenant Governor, and his ridiculous and offensive statements about how the public shouldn’t support poor people, because they might “breed?” Well, I know you were worried that he might be lonesome out there on the fringes all by himself. He’s not alone, my friends. Never fear! [...]
I Can’t Top That Headline

Oh, DC Examiner. What will happen to you when your parent paper finally loses the Reverend‘s interest and folds completely? And how will we get through our commute without seeing headlines like this: on our way out of the train station? Where would the excitement be, in a world without you? I despair. Help us, [...]
Really?

Wow. “Because they breed.” Really? You said that, out loud, on the record? And this dude is the lieutenant to the dude who completely vanished and jetted off to Argentina to be with his girlfriend without telling anyone he’d be gone? I thought Virginia had some wacked-out politicians! I’m glad I don’t live in South [...]
