Tell It True, Joe
October 11, 2012Overcast again this morning on California’s northern coast — even had some way-light rain yesterday, so maybe winter’s here early. Big news on the dipwad-cycle is the Joe Biden/Paul Ryan knuckball debate tonight at Centre…
Faster, Faster
October 6, 2012Lost in all the political donkey/elephant shit spewed last week over the presidential debate, and, yesterday’s right-wing absurd silliness about the drop in the employment rate, was this, which should-have-been a headline-grabbing horror: “We know…

August 24, 2012Crystal clear skies this early Friday morning along California’s northern coast, and near-cold, too. Odd to see stars way up high in the dark. Although the fog will most-likely roll in before sunrise — about…
