Sep 25, 2025 – Certain people can be so predictably tiresome.In honor of that weary trait, I am presenting an award named for the always tedious, needfully 'look at me,' perpetually unhinged, eternally disgruntled, and forever outraged Keith Olbermann, who has never once missed an obvious chance to keep his fat trap snapped shut...

Oct 17, 2025 – If Friedrich Merz wasn't such a backstabbing, smarmy weasel, I'd almost feel sorry for him right now.ALMOSTBut the way I see it, the master of the Old Magoo is reaping what he's sown with broken campaign promises, and basically ignoring the wishes of a near majority of German voters by...

Oct 17, 2025 – WOWSAHSWay back, probably, I dunno, ten or fifteen years or so, when I was a part-time retail employee, major dad retired and going to school, and stuff around the house just would not cooperate by staying in operating condition, I started a little GoFundMe to help supplement what we were...

Oct 17, 2025 – The speech regulator (right?) of the United Kingdom, an entity known as 'Ofcom' (short for 'Office of Communications'), is shortly to be renamed OOFcom after receiving a well-aimed thump to the solar plexus from their eternal, ardent and irreverent internet nemesis, those pesky American colonists.In August, something called the Online Safety...

Sep 22, 2025 – I saw a video this weekend that made me ill. Furious and sick to my stomach, all at the same time. Not because it was violent, or profane, disrespectful, or cruel.But because, when I learned the back story about it, the waste of time, money, and energy it symbolized as it...

Sep 22, 2025 – Right at this very moment, the skies over the airfield at Copenhagen Airport have been closed to traffic.

Sep 15, 2025 – I've been writing about Memphis ever since I got this schweet, schweet gig.
