Holy crow, people, it’s been a while! There is much to update, and it will happen soon. But I noticed something on the Intertubes today that I just have to comment on: OK, so this bride is feeling screwed. I get it. (We won’t talk about the whole Bard Chapel quote…because well, I don’t feel [...]

Keep and Bear Cameras

This morning, PetaPixel (one of my favorite photography blogs) featured an item about two photogs who rode around on the Miami city Metrorail snapping non-commercial photos, just to see how far they’d get. Turns out, they didn’t get even to the first stop. Now, that’s problematic in and of itself…non-commercial photography is, in fact, permitted [...]
Far out, fab, and insane

This week has been up and down and all over the map. This weekend will be filled with homework. Next week I am losing my office and let’s just say I am uh, less than ecstatic about the new arrangement. Thus, I need some positive reinforcement! So, for today’s Friday musical interlude, let’s all hear [...]
Hello…summer

It’s Memorial Day weekend! (Er, almost.) This is the time of year I dread. It means that the hot weather has arrived, and I don’t like summer! Me:Summer :: Newman:Jerry Indeed, this week it’s been quite steamy here in our nation’s capital, and last night the holiday weekend started with a thunderclap…the first of the [...]

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 [...]

There Really Are Public Goods

It’s Tax Day, everybody! You’ve heard me rant before, about how Americans are addicted to getting something for nothing, and thus complaining about taxes, harping on how they are too high. Then, when services get threatened or cut, the outcry is enormous. And you’ve heard me rant about the willful misunderstanding of Social Security and [...]
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: [...]
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 [...]
