Hi all. I might have strep throat. I see a big white patch in the back of my throat. No fever though. However, my throat is attempting a mutiny hard core. Plan of action (while waiting for the expert opinion of my spouse around noon): Cough drops for days Snorting all the sudafed I can find More sleep I slept from 11 – 10:21 without interruption and still want more. O.o She seems convinced it’s strep, but gonna wait for... Read more
My brother sent me this video from the youtube channel pornsexturbation which is, inexplicably, not a joke: I was going to make a response to this, but… Dear FSM, I’ve hit the blogger mother lode. This is the stuff for which the phrase, “WTF?” was created. Seriously, videos like this scream, “God is all-wise, but just doesn’t know how to be taken seriously!” “Hey all, I was just thinking about masturbation.” Not sex with your wife? Heathen. “You may refer... Read more
Hey guys. As the wife left her Americorps position to begin med school she came home with one last patch of sickness which Dave and I now get to share. Yay, parting gifts! So I’ll scan the news today, see what Trump is up to, etc. But I plan to spend much of the day cooking. While I’m getting better, that’s not saying much considering how low I started in terms of cooking skill. So maybe some of you can help... Read more
Let’s talk about Donald Trump some more. First, Seth Meyers continues to go to town on Trump. This is one of the best clips about Trump I’ve seen: Good shit. In that clip Meyers hit on an interview about his relationship with Vladimir Putin. Here’s a little bit more about how Trump’s relationship with Putin is kind of like Schrödinger’s cat, both existing and not existing: I swear to god, if you gave Sarah Palin a shitload of money and a...

Donald Trump takes a shot at the New York Times because, apparently, “They don’t write good. They don’t know how to write good.” (Money shot starts at 8:15) “You look at The New York Times, I mean, the fail — I call it ‘The Failing New York Times’ because it won’t be in business for another, probably more than a few years unless somebody goes in and buys it and wants to lose a lot of money. But The New... Read more
Thanks to Mythicist Milwaukee for getting the big video of the event up so I could crop this! It was also nice to treat music professionally again, for the first time in years, to push myself to sing as well as I could. I ran scales all week. I got a copy of the music and marked where I wanted to breathe. Friday night while everybody was drinking and partying I drank water, didn’t talk much, and went to bed early.... Read more
Good morning, guys. Once more I need to travel out of town today, but I’m going to get some posts up real quick. While I’m working on that, here’s a hawk who found a weather camera: “The fuck is this?” Read more
President Obama has signed a law into effect that would require all food labels to say if they contain genetically modified ingredients: President Obama has signed a new law that would require all food labels to declare for the first time whether the item contains genetically modified ingredients. Just how clear those labels are, however, is up for debate. The new law, signed Friday and supported by the food industry, pre-empts a recently passed — and stricter — Vermont ruling... Read more
For years I’ve followed the work of Katherine Stewart who has watched over the so-called “Good News Clubs.” Here’s an excerpt from an interview I did with Stewart back in 2012: Here’s an example: A six-year-old I know named Zoe was playing in the schoolyard when her classmate Ashley, who had just started attending a Good News Club, said to her, “You are going to hell because you don’t believe in Jesus.” Zoe objected, saying, “That’s not true.” When the teacher,...

Ok, I’ll try to keep the set up short for people who haven’t been following the Khizr Khan story. At the DNC Khizr Khan gave a speech. Khan’s son was an army captain who died in Baghdad in 2004 and, in his talk, he asserted that Donald Trump had sacrificed nothing for the country. The real meat is in how Donald Trump responded. Here’s John Oliver’s bit on the DNC. You can see Trump’s response to Khan starting at the... Read more
