A Parable, Kinda Sorta, or Maybe an Allegory

Sunday, February 18th, 2007

This can probably be taken a dozen different ways. Take what you will from it, and make of it what you will. Once upon a time, there was a small town nestled in the mountains. The people who lived there were, by and large, simple. Which isn't to ...

Well Said

Sunday, December 31st, 2006

Every once in a while, someone comes up with a post that makes me want to quit, as there's no way I could do anything like that. Today's example comes from ScrappleFace, normally known for biting satire, Scott Ott takes a "real" editor to task about responsible journalism, among other things.

What's the over/under on some moonbat saying that Saddam's necktie party was a ploy by the Bush Administration to deflect attention from Gerald Ford, a critic of the action in Iraq? I give it 15 minutes.

Ho Ho Farookin’ Ho, Indeed

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

Jim received a cyber-turd in his punchbowl, and passed it along to me. Whilst I listen to Bryant Gumbel yammer on about the names of the reindeer, ignoring that fact that, yeah, there's actually a football game on, I will complete this meme. (How was that for a ...

You say it's your birthday? It's Shane's birthday too, yeah! Yup, it's Shane's birthday today, and I don't know for sure, but with all his gray hair, I think he's, like, 45 or something. Yeah, that's it. Happy Birthday, Shane.

A Bleg for a Good Cause

I know I'm supposed to hate the arts and poitry and all, being an ignernt conservative, but I would ask you to consider lending your support the Rocky Mountain Ballet Theatre by going to their Christmas special in Missoula Anaconda. Or failing that, I suspect that they'd accept a straight up ...
