PERIOD
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer made a brief appearance this evening to give the press an update on the president’s activities, BUT FIRST! Spicer went on a four and a half minute tear, snarling and snapping at the press like a pissed-off drama queen. I’ve never seen anything like it from a White House… Read.

dishonest assange
Julian Assange, who is most infamously known as the founder of an internet clearing house for “leaked” data, appears in an interview broadcast on mainstream media to warn us all that the U.S. media is very dishonest — more dishonest than anyone knows. Trump live-tweets the show, also using U.S. media. There isn’t enough gin… Read.

kegle
The other day I peed my pants like a little boy and survived to tell the tale. It all started with breakfast at the Avenue Club, a venerable Madison supper club on East Washington Avenue. We went there to take advantage of their New Year’s unlimited pancake breakfast. They brought each of us two freshly-baked… Read.

i gave them poop
I left a bag of poop on somebody’s desk. That’s the first time I’ve ever done anything like that. My Darling B even helped me. I asked her to get a ziplock bag for me and hold it open while I dumped poop into it. She did. So if I get thrown under the bus… Read.

I sneezed this morning and it’s like everything came apart in my head. Slobber, snot, maybe even some brains. I was oozing stuff that I didn’t know I could ooze. Took a little while and several sheets of Kleenex to wipe it all up. I just love it that we can share like this. Thanks. Read.

Where are the ghosts?
Some celebrity told a story on the radio this morning of the time he saw a ghost, a segment they introduced by asking rhetorically, “Are ghosts real? We’ll find out from so-and-so in a minute.” Um? No. We won’t. First of all because he’s an actor, not a spiritualist (DAMMIT, JIM!), but even more obviously… Read.

is that a dibble in your pocket?
Phrases about working in the garden that sound normal when My Darling B says them but sound dirty when I say them: pruning the sage plowing the potato bed weeding the patch sowing the sweet peas is that a dibble in your pocket? Read.

looks great but
It’s been ten years since Battlestar Galactica was rebooted by the SyFy Network. Everybody else’s take: Greatest Television Show Ever Broadcast. My take, staying in the five-word format: Looks great, stupid as hell. Looks great: Really great, if you get off on space ships, and who doesn’t? Stupid people, that’s who. And also, killer robots!… Read.
