Digital Sam
You know, like the time she got kidnapped by a mutant replicator. And the time after that. And the time after that. And the time after that. Hey, you don’t hit 200+ Episodes, 3 or 4 Spin-offs, and about the same number of Direct to DVD movies by being original (I mean, 15 minutes of …

Hope you enjoyed your Dead Cat Bounce!
Hey, you can’t expect me to be depressed about the market every day, I had far more important things to be depressed about. But that doesn’t mean the fundamentals have changed. Futures indicate a 600 point loss from the bell and we’re just not very far at all from a definitional (Valuations 20% down from …

Zombie Brains
Look, I’m a big fan of the Baseball Bat with or without Barbed Wire Decorations. The action is natural and smooth and you only need 40 foot pounds to satisfactorily dispatch a normal human (supernatural undead creatures requiring a bit more attention and effort) but there is the brain splatter problem I’m told you can …

Let’s Talk About Kids
I find that if you marinate them in Mother’s Milk for at least 24 hours some of the gaminess is reduced. What? Sure you have to toss it out or feed it to your hogs.

Robin of Locksley
Frankly the versions of his origin that hew more closely to a plebeian birth among dispossessed Saxons in a nowhere village close by a poacher’s paradise ring more authentically with the times than later assertions of nobility, but the core story goes that Robin, already an experienced Archer and Swordsman on both Foot and Horse, …

Things you need to know about Vikings.
We’re not all assholes. I mean I am but I attribute it more to my Anglo/Scots-German heritage than my fierce Viking ancestors who mostly made butter and cheese. Not that them ain’t fightin’ words, ask any Texan I love the UK and would like to stay (please). But you need a few lessons on being …

John of Patmos
Like most Classical authors we know little of him and suspect what we do, yet he is wildly popular among certain people who claim to be “Christians” and the creator (if it is a singular creation and not mere zeitgeist) of an enduring meme of Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death all of which we have …

Nobody Loves You!
I can’t really believe we need to chat about this again but should we meet in public, face to face, I’m under no particular obligation to treat you politely. Shocking, I know. I don’t have to be nice, or respect your point of view and life experience. In fact my legal limitations are not to …

Too bad it was the last time. Chicken and Waffles? How drain bamaged to you have to be to think that’s even a thing? 50 Shades of Beige Faith Healing Did I mention depression? AND WASH YOUR HANDS!

Old Shuck
Ya be out on the coast when the fog rolls in and two red eyes loom out of the mist, then ya know you’re with the black dog. Frankly I’d rather deal with Nick himself. I am personally offended that the Warren campaign did not catch fire because it’s exactly the same campaign I ran …

“Today we are engaged in a final, all-out battle between communistic atheism and Christianity.”
Ok, I’m rooting for “communistic atheism”. Why are Americans warming to socialism? Because capitalism has failed them by Arwa Mahdawi, The Guardian Tue 3 Mar 2020 It would be inaccurate to say that the US is embracing “socialism”, because the word has become amorphous: boomers associate it with Stalinism, millennials associate it with Scandinavia. In …

Don’t Let…
Chris Matthews has been escorted by Security from the building with his personal effects. The contents of his office will be screened for company property (staples, paper clips, Post-Its, pens), boxed, and shipped. Passwords have been canceled. A good argument for ‘Medicare-for-All’, especially since Chris would hate it. His MSNBC ‘Colleagues’ are issuing the professionally …
