There must be some kind of madness that comes over me when I visit other blogs and leave a comment. It’s like I have this defect where I think I’m being friendly and helpful when I’m really mostly criticizing, or worse, preaching. So don’t let this happen to you. Don’t think you can drop the [...]

It was one of those days when nothing really mattered. Not that anything was trivial, though, more like each event was illuminated by a larger good. In the morning I took a short forbidden peek at Digby’s blog. Yes, it’s against my religion now, but Digby writes so well, and by sinning dost thou know [...]

What a time, boy howdy. I’ve been dreading the anniversary of 9/11 for weeks, convinced that an attack on Iran would begin today in some kind of perverse Monumental-War-Crime-as-”Revenge” scenario. Waking up in the mornings overcome with fear and loathing, intimations of unspeakable disaster. So far, nothing, thank the Lord. But to show you how [...]

I’ve been meaning to remind everyone of this for some time and now’s as good a moment as any, so if you haven’t done so already, be sure to check out my friend and extraordinary musician Chipper Thompson’s latest series of otherworldly images at Banjosnake. He also has some fine original gig posters he’s willing [...]

Arthur Silber rides the vortex every day. I don’t know how he survives. We’ve exchanged a few emails in the past, and I know he “gets it” in a way that isn’t obvious on his blog, unless you have empathy enough to understand what’s behind the pain. I certainly do, because I feel the same [...]

My God, I’ve been blogging since August, 2002! I wasn’t really sure until tonight. I fired up the old Blue & White G3 with the Radioland software installed to have a look at my old Salon blog, still on their servers, so I could copy anything worth saving before I have them delete the database. [...]

It is with considerable regret that I continue to come up against the best intentions of positively motivated individuals and the collective behavior of many in general who seek to build a better world as best they know how. Even my wife looks at me sadly when I say I may never vote again. It [...]

Well, I’m still not reading blogs and hardly any news, going on over a month now. That either makes me a potentially enlightened sumbitch or a better Wal-Mart shopper. I did skim a news service article a while back about candidates going to Yearly Kos and how some bloggers were all excited about being a [...]

For reasons previously stated, I have declared a week-long during which time I will neither read nor visit ANY political blogs or news sites, nor will I post anything here on any subject whatsoever. A week from today I will report on what (if any) changes I observe over the next seven days and where [...]

What a tense Monday. Why was today so hard to pull out of the hat? I went grocery shopping with my wife this morning. At first she intended to go by herself the way she always does, but I felt puppy dog guilty and said I wanted to go, too — the rationale being that [...]
