Okay, blogging is tough.  We get it.  Great Grandma and Grandpa had it easy, with rotary phones and all (“You mean your Great Grandparents had a phone?”).

If I hear another blogger complain about blogger burnout, I’m going to scream:

I’m taking the evening off from blogging; I’m worn out. After a solid...

Trolls, Heal Thyselves

The New York Times had an Op-Ed yesterday complaining about anonymous trolls on blogs who post inflammatory messages to get a reaction:

Trolling, defined as the act of posting inflammatory, derogatory or provocative messages in public forums, is a problem as old as the Internet itself, although its roots go much farther back.

Showing some semblance of sense, President Obama proposed a two-year freeze on salaries for most federal workers yesterday. (Excluding those in the military, who account for roughly half the workforce.) This cancels their scheduled 1.4% pay increase in 2011.

As Josh Barro of the Manhattan Institute noted in February, “private-sector employment...

And Now I Insult Joe Scarborough

There is a lot which could be said about Joe Scarborough’s very personal and demeaning screed against Sarah Palin, but I’ll rest on this response:

“You are the Alan Colmes of MSNBC, and I mean no offense to Alan Colmes.”

On second thought, maybe I just insulted Alan Colmes.  Sorry.

“I Litter and I Vote”

Taken by reader Ben earlier this month in a Schnucks’ parking lot in south St. Louis.

I like Bobby Jindal, and a couple of years ago I thought this bumper sticker made sense.  Jindal has increased his national profile, but I’m not seeing a run for President in the offing, or particularly viable. 

Unless, of course, the plan is, well, never mind.  You know what I was going to say. 

The cigarette butt on the ground is a nice touch.  How about this for a bumper sticker -

America Held Hostage – When To Start The Count?

Comments

Posted by    Monday, November 29, 2010 at 5:45pm

Curious as to when you think the count should start.

Don’t bother with January 20, 2009, too obvious and predictable, but if you must know, that would make it Day 679.

For suggestions, include start date and event which started it (and number of days, if you want – calculator here).

Nasty demand letters aren’t working

Tributes to “responsible, accountable, and open government” aren’t working.

How do we stop these Wikileaks folks short of dropping a house on their heads?
