On May 10th 1865 Jefferson Davis was captured attempting to flee the last Seat of the Confederate Government, Washington Georgia. Reputedly he was dressed as a woman to avoid recognition, I see no necessity to slander him beyond his fundamental failures, it’s probably apocryphal. June 23rd Cherokee leader Stand Watie was the last Confederate general …

Your Are What You Eat
The EU has made it clear that if the UK wants a trade agreement, Chlorinated Chickens are right out. Oh, that would be almost every Chicken produced in the US where we cram them into boxes, chop off their beaks so they don’t peck each other to death, pump ’em full of antibiotics so they …

Fidel Castro was a Bad, Bad Man
He executed Thousands (though for scale you really have to compare him to Batista), Packed a bunch more off to “Re-Education” Camps which are by definition much, much worse than a Political Prison. Oh, and he stole all their Mafia and Graft money when they fled to Miami and started raising an Army of Catholic …

Text Mike to 55563
He’s a news dude and you’re wrong fella. 38 foot is plenty to single hand without being unwieldy and if you need to sleep more than 4 you should consider your floating Hospitality Suite that you carry as a Business Expense. Of course you need to pay the crew even just to bob in the …

Objective Journalism Is Why American Politics Has Been Allowed To Be So Corrupt For So Long
So much for Objective Journalism. Don’t bother to look for it here–not under any byline of mine; or anyone else I can think of. With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in …

You Got A Lot Of Damn Gall

Popularity Contest
I’m sorry, but for the last 12 hours (and 12 hours before that) I have been hearing nothing but wailing and moaning and rending of garments by New ConservaDem, 3rd Way, Blue Dog, DLC, Coffee Party United, Bowles-Simpson Catfood Salesman Radical Moderate Centrists and their Villager Mouthpiece Puppets. Like it or not Bernie Sanders is …

I feel much better now. I really do.
Let me put it this way, Mr. Amor. The 9000 series is the most reliable computer ever made. No 9000 computer has ever made a mistake or distorted information. We are all, by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error. I don’t feel too threatened by Artificial Intelligence because it’s not. …
