When enaged in the kind of activities that could get you cancelled, it makes sense to diversify your efforts and, above all, to stay mobile. WordPress has been good to me so far, but we’ve all seen how tech platforms can change on a dime (see Parler). All it takes is a little pressure from… Continue reading Asymmetrical Warfare in blogging

Who the hell do these people think they are?
You gotta read this piece about Apple Employees demanding to be allowed to continue to work from home. It’s astounding. Imagine being offended that Tim Cook didn’t take time out of his day to acknowledge that some of his employees are weird introverts who have no use for in-person face-to-face contact with other human beings.… Continue reading Who the hell do these people think they are?
We’re doing it again
I’ve been reading Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s GULAG ARCHIPELAGO lately and I’m learning a lot I didn’t know about the Bolsheviks, The Soviets and the Red Terror. Unfortunately I’m learning a lot about some pretty awful things the West did during that period, as well. Solzhenitsyn claims, and I have no reason to disbelieve him, that the… Continue reading We’re doing it again
Try not to laugh, but…
The Klingon Mine ship Kharg “mysteriously” exploded and sank today… …Sorry, I meant to say Iranian, but “Kharg” definitely sounds like a Klingon curse word… Anyway, carry on, and try your best not to giggle uncontrollably at the misfortune of the Iranian “Navy.”
Are we under attack?
So we had a cyber attack that shut down a major oil pipeline, which caused major shortages and long term prices increases. And now we’ve had one on a large meat-packing plant (admittedly in Australia, not the US) which will, presumably, cause similar issues with the Global meat supply chain. So that’s two attacks on… Continue reading Are we under attack?
The Distinguished Gentleman and Political Money Laundering
Money laundering is the oldest crime in politics (with the possible exeception of assassination). Finding creative ways to funnel cash to supporters in exchange for votes or, even worse, funneling it directly into the pockets of powerful politicians, is a crime as old as our country. Literally… the origins of Tammany Hall and its elaborate… Continue reading The Distinguished Gentleman and Political Money Laundering
Dementia…
My Grandfather suffered from Dementia in his last few years and something I learned about the condition as we went through it is that one of the hallmarks of Dementia can be a short temper that includes outburts of profanity… Welp… enter Ole Joe… Also, if this kind of behavior can get Scott Rudin cancelled,… Continue reading Dementia…
The ugly hypocrisy of the Progressive blame game
It’s become an article of faith on the Progressive Left that it was not enough to drive Donald Trump from the public square… Trump, it seems, was but a symptom of a larger disease. Turns out that it’s Trump supporters who are the real villains of the story. Trump supporters must be tracked, put on… Continue reading The ugly hypocrisy of the Progressive blame game
Joe Biden’s terrible, horrible, no-good very bad week: A play in one act
FADE IN: INT – OVAL OFFICE – DAY (POST-LID) Three of Biden’s ADVISORS are seated around the coffee table with JEN PSAKI. JOE BIDEN is behind the Resolute Desk. He’s asleep… and he’s snoring. PSAKI: Guys, people are starting to ask me about raging inflation, the plunging stock market, gas lines, and the war in… Continue reading Joe Biden’s terrible, horrible, no-good very bad week: A play in one act
If I ever open a restaurant…
I know what the first item on the menu will be. Last Saturday we made braised short ribs and we had some meat leftover… so this morning I made a braised short rib egg mcmuffin with swiss cheese. I mean…
