About Me

I'm an artist, educator, militant anti-theist , and I write. I gamble on just about anything. And I like beer...but I love my wife. This blog contains observations from a funny old man who gets pissed off every once in a while.

I've got some rather hefty bets riding on New England. Please pray for me.

Remember this image I posted weeks ago?


Perfect Microcosm of a Modern Protest


"The wind of change is now blowing from Romania, where hundreds of thousands took to the streets across the country for the fourth night in a row, to protest against laws that would make it easier for corrupt officials to get away with their crimes. The country has never seen protests this big since the fall of communism. But Romanians have learned the price of freedom and they're not ready to let anyone take it away from them."

Romanian protesters cleaning up their own garbage.

 "The amendment, drawn up in 1954, and bans all tax-exempt nonprofits, which includes houses of worship as well as charities, from "directly or indirectly" participating in any political candidate’s campaign."
I'm fine with this. If churches want to give their money to a candidate, they can start as soon as their tax-exempt status is surrendered.

There have been a series of fires in my neighborhood. All set with gasoline on back porches and shit like that. All having the earmarks of a couple of bored teenagers getting their rocks off by scaring the shit out of people.
One fire caused an old lady's death from the smoke. They just caught the guy...a Columbia firefighter. 


GENTLE READER, I SOMETIMES FIND THE NEED FOR A DAY OFF. MY SOLUTION IS TO POST THINGS THAT I DID NOT FIND WORTHY OF POSTING WHEN I FIRST FOUND IT. IT SADDENS ME THAT YOU HAVE TO TOLERATE THIS HALF ASS HUMOR, BUT I HOPE, AT LEAST, YOU UNDERSTAND THE NECESSITY.


FUN WITH THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE







 4 glove changes today.



















 I have totally missed that. Anyone?










 I found that especially funny.

Checkmate. Check Mate.

The problem is that's not checkmate. If the white king moves there it will be a draw.

I do not understand the necessity? Why not just post less shit that day

It is not meant that you understand, my child.

The white chess piece is a queen, not a king, so it is checkmate. Or check, mate.

If it's check, in Australia it's check, mate.

If it's checkmate, in Australia it's checkmate, mate.

Stalemate, mates.
