  I'll say no more on that topic. Today being that one day, it might be time to take stock of where America is at. You know, socially/politically/hypocritically so here we go. Socially, America is lost. Due to pandemic lockdowns, masks, vaccines, presidential elections, military retreats, presidential retreats, Halloween treats, and that list could grow exponentially. Politically, America is stuck in the middle with a putrid collection of villains, poltroons, wishy-washy wanna-bees (wanna-bes? wanna to be or not to be?), spineless lying asshats, and of course Sen. Lindsey Graham. Hypocritically, America is all of that. The 'right-to-life' crowd will defend a proto-plasmic fetus yet scream bucket loads of "kill 'em dead" when it comes to executions in America. The 'right-to-lifers' scream for those dang nasty criminals to get the guillotine, sew the head back on and then guillotine the criminals again. Black Americans have grievances. Latino Americans h...

  Stuff to do on this fine day and so...today's post will be brief. Hopefully pointed, yet brief. Y'alls can thank me later. in the throes of an oil soaked death - the last autumn - the rise of Yorick again - take some time today to enjoy what you have. 😮

  Today is a throwback to days long gone bye. Think Burt Reynolds, Jerry Reed, and trucker movies galore. Tearing up the big road and talking all manner of bullshit on CB radios. A CB radio stands for 'citizen band'. Not high frequency enough for FCC enforcement but, suitable for truckers wanting to chat politely with one another. 'Chat politely', that's funny. Anyway and back in them olden days when truckers wanted to get a leg in on the CB chatter, a driver would grab his CB microphone and say "breaker breaker 1 9." That was the signal that interrupting trucker had something important to say on his CB. Whether whatever it was the driver wanted to say being important or not was usually irrelevant. So the trucker would speak his piece and then say 10-4. And that brings us to today's date...10-4. You know October 4, 2021. 10-4? Get it? Yeah that's pretty weak and I can admit that. However and what with volcanos blasting away on the Canary Islands, K...

  La Palma. The city/island/state of la Palma is in the throws of a volcanic temper tantrum. So where's the Pope? Isn't the Pope supposed to head for la Palma and utter some papal supplication to placate Cumbre Vieja? Cumbre Vieja is the volcano going ape-shit on la Palma. The Canary Islands and la Palma in particular are Spanish occupied territories. Have been since the Canary Islands were conquered and occupied by Spain in the fifteenth century. Spain and therefore by extension, Canary Islands, are Catholic. There's even a name for the Canary Islands being grabbed up by Spain. That grand and ignoble affront is called "Conquista Betancuriana." I did not know that. I know it now. Anyway, the Pope should head for la Palma and offer up one vestal virgin Catholic Nun to Cumbre Vieja and thereby calm the frayed nerves of everyone living on la Palma. Aren't popes supposed to offer virgins to spitting volcanos? Seems to have worked at Vesuvius. That's a little k...

  Salt Lake City has a park located in the icky part of town. The park is named 'Pioneer Park' and the park has a nasty reputation as a cruel place to park. So to speak. Salt Lake's homeless have called Pioneer Park home for quite some time. Pioneer Park is also home to junkies, muggers, and thieves. The nasty reputation of Pioneer Park is notorious. Anyway, Salt Lake's "city leaders" have been trying to clean up the place and make it "respectable" for a number of years and the clean up efforts haven't yielded much in the way of effectively eradicating the park problems. So fast forward to yesterday and that would have been October 1, there's this crazy lady going crazy in the park. Seriously if not dangerously crazy. The crazy woman has been throwing rocks and whatever else she can manage to pick up and is breaking windows and threatening the good citizens of Salt Lake for better part of a couple of hours. Side note inserts here...Salt Lake ...

  Today is October 1, 2021. Today is Friday the first Friday in October 2021. Gosh is that about some big news or what. Come next Monday which just so happens to be the first Monday in October 2021, the Supremes will be back in session. You see the United States Supreme Court begins every new session on the first Monday in October. I'm not sure why that might be but the U.S. Constitution mandates the court being back in session the first Monday in October. Dang 'mandates' anyway. So with "nonbinary" being ever so in vogue, shouldn't any 'mandate' be referred to as 'themdates'? 'It' dates? 'Ain't about to play' date? 'Calendar' dates? 'Calendar' girls? Anyone cares date? Whatever. The Supremes will be fixing all those "judicial mistakes" made by America's courts and that's their job. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has the Covid-19. Yes indeed the judicial horse's ass comes down wit...

James Webb, that's who was mean. Way back in the 1950's and 1960's James Webb was the administrator of NASA. Seems like a pretty dang long time ago. Say about maybe 65 years back. Yeah, that's a pretty dang long time ago. So back to the future here, now there are folks that want NASA to rename the soon to be launched James Webb Space Telescope on account of back in the day, James Webb was mean to gay people. Back then 'gay people' included gay men and lesbian women. There weren't so many transgender folk a way back when. There certainly may have very well been transgender folk BUT, the transgender folk were referred to as something else. I think. Anyway and back to the present, NASA is not about to change the name of the James Webb Space Telescope. You see there has been "pressure" for NASA to change the name of the telescope as James Webb must have been mean to gay people. The entire federal government, back in the day, simply did not hire or ackn...
