From The Par For The Course Desk…

GOP schmucks block tax increase on the short-sighted, money-grubbing bastards at the oil company. While I think it’s kinda funny that the hoopla actually benefits “Wee Oil” as much as “Big Oil”, fuck them, too. Plus the GOP can’t even get it up to extend tax breaks on renewable sources. I guess they realize before those companies [...]

From The Oh, For Fuck Sake Desk

Exxon just posted it’s first quarter profit statement. $10.9 BILLION dollars!!! If I get in the White House (insert sneaky write-in plan here), my first order of business is an executive order mandating funneling half of corporate profits from energy companies toward solar energy. Fuckin’ Bill Gates should peel off one or two of his [...]

From The National Politcs Desk…

It used to be that candidates sought endorsement from senators, former presidents, notable politicians and media outlets(when there used to be multiple outlets…although journalists and news outlets SHOULDN’T be endorsing anyone, by definition…but I digress….). You know, folks with some kind of experience and actual knowledge of governance (one hopes). Now it’s, “Let’s see what [...]

Musings From Behind the Wheel…

I saw a car with a bumper sticker that read something like, “My God is an AWESOME GOD“. I recreated the bold part, as it was part of it. I heard at some other point in life a song that has words to that effect. As I sat at the light I thought, “How can [...]

Moment of reflection

On this day in 1937, Dr. Hunter S. Thompson was born. “Don’t take any guff from those fucking swine” “I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone, but they’ve always worked for me.” Selah

Quickies from the net…

The first paragraph of the article is the really good part. Critics have been calling Obama “not black enough”. Is he saying, “maybe you’re ‘too black’”? I know, I know, “It’s a black thing, I wouldn’t understand” How black does Obama have to be to understand? Is there a pie chart somewhere…? Christ!! Can no [...]

Political schmuck-ery

This tidbit comes via my pal over at Nettbeast. Loe and I were grumbling about the whole lack of real and significant political support for cleaning up the environment and tacking the damage done via automobiles, yesterday. Then I read this. Oy…

Bad Analogy

To put the late, great Dr. Hunter S. Thompson in the same contextual frame of mind as Alberto Gonzales…I’m sure you’ve heard of him…well, it’s blasphemy!! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bob-cesca/gonzo-has-the-fear_b_46048.html Now I’m getting The Fear….

Yin and Yang

While I think Bush shit and stepped back in it in many things, the war in Iraq is a huge steaming pile of poo.  I want us out of there, yesterday. However, I understand the military view of things. With that in mind, I copy an email I received from a family friend and retired [...]
