Irish Up
You know, it’s not that I actually want to get drunk, listen to violins, accordions, and bagpipes, and beat the crap out of someone. First of all it’s only the ones that deserve it. Dropkick Murphys The Season’s Upon Us Smash Shit Up Going Out In Style The State Of Massachusetts You know, as much …

Not a Rant
Because Lewis Black would never ever do that. I’d warn that it’s not safe for work, except you’re not at work. And no, I’m not obsessed with Toilet Paper, unless I run out.0

The Dead Cat 3/17/20
As of 9:43 this morning, 13 minutes after opening, the Market entered negative territory again. Even Cramer is not calling to buy the dips, his advice is to dump the highs. Dow 19K after half an hour!

Cartnoon
An ek hornbeck Production. I have expressed before my preferences for regularity and order and my expectation my audience shares that, thus my disappointment at not actually being as punctual as I would desire. My Therapist thinks it a manifestation of my obsessive compulsive desire for control over my environment. I have issues. This, what …

Limit Down
Again. Frankly there’s not much reason to be Bullish. Almost every place you’d want to go is closed. I don’t think that condition can persist indefinitely but the attitudinal effects are very real though I must say it’s a true thing that you’re more likely to die of Flu than Corona. Don’t get me wrong, …

Act III, Scene 2
So it’s the Ides and I’m thinking about adding this to my Holiday collection. The context you need is this- Brutus was in fact an honourable man. He decided in favor of Democratic (well, kinda, completely corrupt and engaged in it’s own power grab, but Cincinnatus!) Institutions instead of Autocracy and Marc Antony a leech …

I Told You I Was Not Kidding About Zombies
What part of that was so hard to understand? Sam Bee and Paul Krugman at the 92nd Street Y before New York City closed. “Friends, just in time for Corona Frost Cutlery and I have been able to assemble the World’s Largest Collection of Tactical Folders and Fixed Blades all in the Zombie Hunter Green …

I Am Not At All Kidding About Zombies
Night of the Living Dead is a 90 minute meditation on Race War as well as what do we owe each other, in an existential sense. I mean, you know you’re a Zombie so do you pull a Spock “Good of the many” and crawl off in a hole to die (I mean, until you …

The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves
The reason I stop doing things is I am easily bored, also I get tired. NBA- Cancelled. NCAA- Basically Cancelled (No Audience). Ditto all our Late Nights. F-1 Ready for off (are you kidding? look at Maranello and look at a map). This is just the top line of the Economic consequences. Travel ban to …

Need Distraction?
I know I do. Currently screening people beating hot metal into weapons of murderous intent (“It weel keel”) but if I wasn’t I might be streaming this. I feel compelled to explain myself a bit. Since LotR I am an extreme sucker for Fantasy Sci-Fi and back when Paperbacks were cheap I bought a lot …
