Though I mark the turning of the years with the solstice, I would be remiss not to note the traditional turning of the year today – Happy New Year and good riddance to the worst decade of my half century and more experience.
Welcome to The Revolution. You’re either with us, or against us.
Colonel Girdle reminds me today of Kurt Vonnegut’s brilliant 1990 novel, Hocus Pocus, a prescient satire about America in 2001 when the nation has been thoroughly raped by its capitalist owners & soldoff to other countries. Here is a brief excerpt taken from where the college professor protagonist recollects a speech given by the college’s writer in residence. A speech that causes consternation among the college’s board of trustees:
He predicted, I remember, that human slavery would come back, that it had in fact never gone away. He said that so many people wanted to come here because it was so easy to rob the poor people, who got absolutely no protection from the government. He talked about bridges falling down and water mains breaking because of no maintenance. He talked about oil spills and radioactive waste and poisoned aquifers and looted banks and liquidated corporations. “And nobody ever gets punished for anything,” he said. “Being an American means never having to say you’re sorry.”
Fuck all the birthers,
Teabaggers and born agains.
It’s our country too.

Bruce Miller has announced he’ll be closing his blog The Wandering Eye at the Source notably because of the anonymous trolls there – the same trolls that ultimately led to the demise of Bend dot com. Sorry to see you go, Bruce.
You just keep telling yourself that, rube, it’s all just a hoax. For one last time, fool, try and wrap the twelve percent of your brain you (may) use around global warming means more severe seasonal storms precisely because it is putting more warmer moisture into the air. It’s really pretty simple, just like when you get into your car on a freezing morning and the windows fog up.
Now that Fucks Emus “reporter” Tucker Carlson has called for the execution of football star Michael Vick for dog-fighting, will he call for the same for the Bambi-Killer former half-term governor Sarah “Quits Half-Way Through” Palin?
Caveat: I’ve hunted deer all my life, and have no problem with dog-fighting.
Now that you’ve destroyed the country… Jump, you fuckers.
There are Martians, Venusians, Romulans, Vulcans and Klingons here!?
Illegally!? Wow, who knew…
People – on a planet that in a hundred years may very well be uninhabitable.
Due to the fact that conservatives don’t have actual science to buttress their belief that the planet is not warming, every winter they resort to pointing out that it is cold outside in December as proof that climate change isn’t real.
