The Elephant in the Room, Continued…

First off, I survived my 40th birthday insanity and came out the other side with only a few bruises and minor flesh wounds…and a hangover.  It was one heck of a time and a whole lotta fun, and well, I looked upon it and found it good, except the hangover.  Those are never good.  But [...]

Ahem. Thanks for making my point, douchebag.

I am no fan of the Second Amendment, inasmuch as it tends to be the refuge of bumpkins and yeehaws who like to think they are protecting their homes against imagined swarthy marauders desperate to steal their flea-bitten sofas from their rotting front porches. ..  Gene Weingarten, Washington Post One, obviously this bastion of modern [...]

We as a Society Seek to Help our Most Disadvantaged & At Risk Citizens…*

*If they look the part and live in the right places… First, I gotta say, you make three posts in a row involving firearms and I guess people start to look at ya funny.  So today, no firearms, and back to some posting I promised.  So yeah, let’s get on with that then, shall we? [...]

Poor White Kids & Bored American Nobility- They all just wanna die a little bit.

Odd title, yeah?  Well, I reckon it’s gonna be an odd post so it seems fitting.   In any event, let’s get on with it. So yeah, I grew up a poor white kid.  I’ll prolly lay on some more detail with that in a later post, but I’ll go ahead and get some basics [...]

Why Hipsters Should Replace Hillbillies, Hicks, Rednecks and White Trash as Acceptable Humans for Mocking

(One Crackers Humble Opinion) Okay, I am sure this seems all ironic and hypocritical and all those good things since I am ranting endlessly about how one should not rag mercilessly upon Hillbillies, Hicks, Rednecks and White Trash (henceforth HHRWT), but face it, to some degree ragging on those different from one’s self is natural, [...]

The Elephant in the Room and Other Stories: A Prologue

So, I was loungin’ in my modern den of inequity (firearms & liquor welcome!) furrowing my crooked eyebrows and cursin’ the government for makin’ cold meds that contain pseudoephedrine behind the counter, one box per customer and requiring of ID and leaving of address…because I actually have a goddamn cold, people…so being me I made someone [...]

Cause you TOTALLY know the best way to track down Right Wing Extremists is to act like

a buncha goddamn fascists… So, being a fan of the ink and all, I have been pondering a lot of new ink lately.  I do still have skin after all, and you know, because it really is fitting, I was pondering oh…that there design sitting right here on the post.  And NOT even as a [...]

Why I don’t talk politics and humans of all kinds vex me….

(and other assorted ramblings) So, to start- some real life shit:  That second shot that hurt like the Devil?  It also worked.  I would say after two of ‘em, my back is about 60% better than it was.  It still really hurts when it really hurts- but it really hurts less and overall is not so much [...]

Well, if ya look like scum, expect people to treat ya like scum….

So, this post comes about due to some comments here and other places out there in blog land, past and present, about ones appearance- not as in how “pretty” they are or whatever, but more in a what they telegraph by the way they dress, carry themselves, so on, so forth.  Ah yes, a topic [...]

Stop looking at me like that…

So, my LJ Buddy Stagger Lee has a post up about her adventures, as a Black Woman, in Texas…at a fast food joint, where she dared to sit down next to a little white kid while his mom was in the bathroom and ask about the video game he was playing.  Heck, Lee has lots [...]
