Another Sunday morning, the last one of February, and the next few days will lead up to a new month but the same-old shit. On Friday, a legislative trigger will automatically snap back, force the hammer down and pop a cap at who/whatever’s in the vicinity – unfortunately, just about all regular Americans will catch at least a bit of shell fragment, a ricochet maybe, pieces striking mostly in the neck area.

Wet, chilly and highly-gothic here on California’s northern coast this Saturday evening, drizzling rain since early on, creating a sad, thoughtful sense of purpose. Surfing the news sites seeking attention for my seemingly near-insatiable, up-to-the-second addiction for current events, apparently life seemingly has flat-lined as we crawl out from under the hideous holiday season — from Thanksgiving (maybe even since Hal-loo-ween) and onto New Years Day, a quick-blast of counterfeit Read More ...
On Wall Street this morning protests continue as a now-major force in the news cycle, making folks pay attention to one of the great scams of world history.

One standing cliche of horror movies is the old trope of the menaced babysitter being scared out of her most-beautiful wits by a killer via telephone calls, which as turns out, are being made “from inside the house.” The just concluded debt ceiling slasher/torture porn production in DC conjures up that same bromide as the killers are not from some far land, or calling from a telephone booth miles away, Read More ...

As the financial clock ticks away on this Friday morn, the political platoons playing pitter-pat in DC and losing the hope of US peoples in our current form of government — if you want to call what’s happening now as government. Why and how were these assholes elected? (Illustration found here). As John ‘The Boner” Boehner’s great and daring debt ceiling plan collapsed late Thursday, the whole process stinks of Read More ...
(Illustration found here). Upchucking the ‘toon above: The good news is not gay — it’s pretty-much a hard-packed ass, not happy at all. In reality, there’s no good news. As Sunday morning dawns, the news cycle is still Casey Anthony — she was released back into the wild with all kinds of implications amid death threats, book deals via total consumption by the media. US peoples are a much-fickle peoples. Read More ...
(Illustration found here). Even beyond the way-hot weather in the central and eastern US, the disastrous wars all over the globe, and finally even beyond Casey Anthony, the news tearing at the very tattered fabric of everyday life is the infamous, so-called debt ceiling bullshit in which the whacks in DC are deeply bickering.
