The Daily Late Nightly Show (Born in Flint)

Well, not really, but I have family (Michael Moore was Grandma’s paper boy and she thought he was an asshole) and this summer I’m headed out for a funeral and will once again have to deal with the cultural conservatives that populate the heartland branch of my family. I’ll document the atrocity. The New Guy …

Birmingham Jail

You may well ask: “Why direct action? Why sit ins, marches and so forth? Isn’t negotiation a better path?” You are quite right in calling for negotiation. Indeed, this is the very purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has …

Debbie Wasserman Schultz Must Go! (and Democratic Presidential Debate)

DWS is not an idiot, she knows exactly what she is doing and it’s painfully obvious she cares more about bootlicking the donor class of Billionaire .01%ers than she does about you or the Democratic Party she titularly heads (I could make an inappropriate fellatio joke here, but it’s enough to allude it and I …

Throwball Divisional Playoffs: Steelers at Broncos

Sorry, the Steelers are just too beat up to prevail against the Broncos. Another Sunday snooze fest which suits me just fine because while I am ignorant I’m also lazy. Perhaps next weekend I’ll be able to summon some energy for Conference Championships (though I doubt it). In the mean time this game is so …

Throwball Divisional Playoffs: Seahawks at Panthers

C’mon, as much as I like the Seahawks it’s Panthers all the way. I mean, one game from a perfect season Panthers. Too bad for the Seahawks actually, they are easily the second best team in the National Throwball League and yes, I am including the Patsies in that assessment.

Throwball Divisional Playoffs: Packers at Cardinals

I ♥ me some Packers but they are doomed against the Cardinals. The Packers lost rather badly against the Cards 3 weeks ago and nothing has changed except the Packers have gotten weaker. Still rooting for them.

Throwball Divisional Playoffs: Chiefs at Patsies

Have I mentioned yet that I hate the Patsies because of the way they treated Hartford during their Stadium negotiation? I have?! Well, it still applies. They’re also cheaters, specifically Tom Brady who is clinging to his aura of invincibility and is totally willing to let other, more mortal, people take the fall for him. …

More Tomorrow

I hesitate to pass by an opportunity to grab your attention, but I’m just reaching the point where I can sleep uninterrupted for more than 3 hours at a time (not that I’m complaining) and it seems a fair bargain to give up Stephen for a night. This weekend we have the usual stuff plus …

Attack Ad

I dunno. Maybe I’m not following this election closely enough. This doesn’t seem all that attacky to me-

Oppressed by the Tubz!

The Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It’s not a big truck. It’s a series of tubes. And if you don’t understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it’s going to be delayed by anyone that …
