Cause for Celebration, I Guess

Brett Feauvreaux, or whatever, you go right back to heLLO my parents read this. Ahem.

Today's Word of the Day

in*al*ien*a*ble /ɪnˈeɪlyənəbəl, -ˈeɪliə-/ [in-eyl-yuh-nuh-buhl, -ey-lee-uh-] –adjective not alienable; not transferable to another or capable of being repudiated: inalienable rights.

Senator-Elect Brown should do some reading, and remember the sadly alleged principles by which this country was founded.

Upstaged on a Tarantula Tuesday

Sometimes, I sit down in my creaky chair, open up my browser, and the words just deluge forth in a way that I find a relief and you find an entertainment.

I'm Not Crotchety Anymore

Comment #2 (Posted by Warduke)
I'm not going to comment on whether the Simpsons is better or worse now or 15 years ago - that's up to personal taste. What I do want to comment on is that I don't think there's ever been a generation so poised to become crotchety old men as this one. We're barely in our 30s and we're already saying "Back in my day....". We're the most pampered and privileged generation of all time, and it turned us all into little bitches with "action figures".

But not because of this guy. Still, the comment is bang on target.

Quick Note Before the Full Return

"...when Democrats get caught saying racist remarks, an apology is enough..." - Michael Steele on today's Meet the press.

He neglected to mention that when a Democrat is caught in flagrante delecto, only a resignation or impeachment will purge the party's shame, while a prayer session or two is enough for Republicans. I missed Tim Kaine's remarks after the above comment, but if they weren't as biting, then what the hell good is he?
