The incompetence of the Bush administration’s response to the Gulf Coast disaster is explainable by the strictly dualistic worldview of the neo-conservatives who comprise it. For anyone who sees the world in terms of black or white, right or wrong, good or bad, true or false, either-or, there’s no room for third (or fourth or […]
I’ve been spending my time recuperating. There’ve been ups and downs, but overall I seem to be doing a little better. My friend Carol hung pictures of dolphins in my house while I was in the hospital. She also vacuumed the living room carpet and fed the cats for a couple of days. Carol insists […]
Mark Evanier on the Sunday morning post-Katrina spinfest. John Dvorak with a round-up of the first scathing op-eds to appear on the subject.
Next time you’re in a grocery store or some similarly public place and you spot somebody with an O2 tube up his nose, do your own humanity a favor: Wipe that *Tsk-tsk, poor bastard, but (sigh), he* did *bring this painful, oxygen-starved, slow death upon himself, didn’t he?* look off your smug, fatuous face.
My car, a 23-year-old Toyota, is falling apart. I need to find something cheap that runs reliably and has a working air conditioner and heater. I’m not asking for donations — the exercise in narcissism that is this blog certainly doesn’t warrant that — but you could do me a nice favor by going out […]
Vacation is Over… an open letter from Michael Moore to George W. Bush. Moore is operating on well over my 30% rage capacity. I’m glad someone is. Oh, and get a load of this from FactCheck.org. Related note: As a result of my hospital stay, I’ve also got some piquant observations about Republicans and their […]
Why is it that every time Mr. Compassionate Conservative is called upon to evince some, he has to ring in Dad and Clinton? On the other hand, called upon to demonstrate ineptitude, el Proctodento is a true champ. Bagdad, Fallujah, New Orleans, hey, wherever — bring it on! This here Adminisfuckingstration guarantees some more Americans, […]
I’m down to 193, which puts me just thirteen pounds from what I consider my ideal weight. Of course, my entire body is comprised of spongiform tissue at the moment, but a few months in the gym, once I can breathe again, will help remedy that. I need to thank my friend Bret who rushed […]
In the hospital. With pneumonia. I’m home now but still very weak — and tethered to an O2 machine day and night for at least the next couple of weeks. Further expectorations to follow as energy permits.
Editor Joan Hilty asked me for a quote to be used for the 10.05 edition of the “DC In Demand” page, which will carry an item about *Hard Time* and will run in all of the DC comics issued that month. I suggested, in part, the following: “You’ve just experienced a year of changes in […]
