The Internet is full of Shit
Author: velveeta jones Date: 01/05/2014 15:37:19

So, it seems anyone can plug in a computer and write stuff. Just like I'm doing now!

But really, the dribble that comes off as news is astounding. Recently this little horror has been making the rounds:

I laugh at the weather
Author: TriSec Date: 01/04/2014 12:23:06

Good Morning.

It's a whopping zero degrees out my back window at this hour.

So naturally, I'm going to suit up and head out for some snowshoeing in about an hour. For pay, since this is our usual bi-weekly outing with the store.

Off to a Dubious Start
Author: BobR Date: 01/03/2014 15:52:06

A couple days ago, I wrote a blog with some fairly obvious predictions for the coming year. What I didn't anticpate was that by Jan 03, it would already seem quaint when compared to the realities of Republican politics.

Happy New Year!
Author: BobR Date: 2014-01-01 12:42:36

It's a brand new year. I will do everyone a favor and not do a recap of the year, since other writers have done it enough (and probably better). The past year was like most - a mix of good and bad, like a mellow rollercoaster. I am also not going to talk about resolutions. Instead, I'd rather look ahead at 2014.

So what lies ahead? Let me prognosticate.

Good Morning.

Today is our 4,468th day in Afghanistan.

We'll start this morning as we always do; with the latest casualty figures from our ongoing war; courtesy of Antiwar.com:

US Military Deaths - Afghanistan: 2,300
Other Military Deaths - Afghanistan: 1,108

We find this morning's Cost of War passing through:

$ 1, 501, 496, 100, 000 .00

Today is the last Tuesday, December 31, 2013 we'll ever see...so I'll push all the stories I've been saving for our end-of-year dump.

The year that was.
Author: Raine Date: 12/30/2013 14:04:49

I'd hoped to write a blog about all the stories that happened this past year.

Benghazi, the attack on Women's rights, Fast and Furious, ObamaCare, the NSA, the debt ceiling, the government shutdown, fake filibusters... These were among the stories that dominated the headlines this year.

Crazy Governors of the South
Author: velveeta jones Date: 12/29/2013 16:14:43

Is it just me, or does it seem like when Democratic politicians create a controversy it's mostly a moral judgement error (getting bj's in the Oval office, showing their junk on Twitter, or being John Edwards, etc). While when other popular party creates controversy it's most often criminal; mostly in how they get elected or how rich their coffers became. Or, they're just bat-shit crazy like SC governor Nikki Haley - who is a woman, not a dude in a Metal band - celebrating the birth of Our Lord and Savior by gleefully squealing over a hand gun as a gift she received.

Remember Money?
Author: TriSec Date: 12/28/2013 12:31:40

Good Morning.

Hopefully it will be a quiet "in-between" weekend for all of you out there. As for me, there's no rest - I'm at the store both days this weekend including a full 8 hours on the sales floor today. (Increasingly rare in retail.) It's not quite peak 'return' season, but today will be at least as busy as last Sunday.
