My typical “Week in Review” segment is suspended this week for a look at the best museum in Canada, as promised. Feast your eyes on this: I imagine most of you are spinning in your swivel chairs laughing your asses off at the above picture. “Whut did Kana-duh have to do whit the Cold War? [...]

Recently overheard in the CVS checkout line: Old Hag (picking up one of the crossword puzzle books sold next to the tabloids): These cost THREE dollars now? They used to cost a buck! I have an old one in my purse, I used to love these, but I’m not paying three dollars for this! Teenage [...]

This spy would immediately be alienated. He or she would be surrounded by people whose ambitions in life are a job where they can avoid [...]

I promised myself a while back that I would stop responding to the goading of bloggers who are much less popular than I am. Giving exposure to random losers with neither readerships nor writing skills only inflates their egos and hit counts. Once you pass a certain threshold, Rule 4 should only be applied to [...]

The jig is up, the monkey’s dead, and the show is over. My loyal readership, I have been lying to you all these months. In over 400 posts published here and at The Spearhead, I have portrayed myself as a cynical guy with opinions on sexuality, politics, culture, race, and life that would make prim, [...]

“I’ve walked across the sun. I’ve seen events so tiny and so fast they hardly can be said to have occurred at all, but you…you are just a man. And the world’s smartest man means no more to me than does its smartest termite.” Doctor Manhattan, Watchmen Another blogger has bought the farm. Hunter Huxley has [...]
