Little Things Mean a Lot

I’ve always taken solace in the small things in life, the things that anchor my existence and tell me that all is well with the world. Such a thing buoyed my spirits this morning after my first cup of coffee.
I followed my usual morning routine, shower, mundane middle-America jeans and tee shirt, coffee, turn on [...]

Yay, Barack

I confess straight up and down that I didn’t watch much of Barack’s speech yesterday. I was too engrossed in the audience.
There was Turncoat Joe, sitting up front somewhere with his classic just-been-hit-in-the-forehead-with-a-rubber-mallet vacant stare, silly grin and all. Sure, he hugged Barack later, but that was just another blatant example of his opportunistic sincerity.

Keeping up with the News, Some, at Least

Okay, so GQ Magazine has selected Justin Timberlake to head its list of the Top 10 Most Stylish Men in America. GQ’s on-line version has a shot of Justy looking suitably sexy, if you can call ducking your chin and gazing up at the camera with a sort of a moonie-eyed look calculated to [...]

Do Acres Vote?

This morning I received an email from an unnamed relative in the heart of the Confederacy. This particular relative apparently makes money by forwarding information that is of no practical use to anyone. Except rednapes. The information he inundates me with are about as racist as they come, and all of them are anti-Obama. He [...]
