I don’t have a legitimate excuse for the absences or the tardiness. Just know that I had a good time while I was away. But now I want my country back. Or at least Florida and Texas. Since that’s probably not possible anytime soon, I’ll settle for a mid-afternoon train to Georgia, a warm bowl Read More
How about some chicken wings and a limo ride to the polls? It’s tough to know if this half-baked, fully-fried, get-out-the-vote effort had much effect, but Shreveport mayoral candidate Bryan Wooley advanced to a Nov. 2 runoff against popular incumbent Cedric Glover. Glover won 45 percent of the vote in Saturday’s election, while Wooley earned Read More
Two years ago, I started out doodling my own inconsequential thoughts at my own, long-since abandoned blog site. A few months later, I was fortunate enough to be invited onto the esteemed blog roll here at PostBourgie. But to take that next step toward world domination, it’s looking like I’m going to have to change-up Read More
For at least another day, bigotry prevails and everyone else loses. Matt Yglesias asks, to my mind, the money question: I’m sort of intrigued by the psychology of members of congress who’re positioning themselves on the wrong side of history here. Does anybody think that in the year 2050 it will be illegal for gay Read More
What does this mean? “Well, it is certainly no disrespect to anyone that is vegan or vegetarian. As you know, I am the most judgment-free human being on the earth. However, it has many interpretations, but for me this evening … If we don’t stand up for what we believe in and if we don’t Read More
Without much prompting or need, the good Reverend Dr. Glenn Beck and about 87,000 – or eleventy-jillion – of his minions rallied Saturday at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to restore America’s honor. Which is all well and good. Assuming you believe honor is something to be valued above all else. And all this talk Read More
The Tea Party has advice for folks coming to Glenn Beck’s Aug. 28 rally. It boils down to this: stay away from black people. Which is something we thought the Tea Party was pretty skilled at doing, anyway. (Monica) I’d also like to add, if possible, Tea Partiers should definitely steer clear of 2nd Amendment enthusiasts like Read More
Let’s start off with a semi-serious note, if only for a moment: We probably should stop referring to the expansion of marital rights as gay marriage. The only meaningful difference between marriages involving heterosexuals and opposite marriage is the genitals. And really, it’s not all that meaningful of a difference for the purposes of the Read More
The easy joke – and one made endlessly on the innanets yesterday – is that BP CEO Tony Hayward is finally getting his life back. But that’s not really true. Hayward is being shipped to Siberia to oversee a joint venture between BP and a group of Russian oil billionaires. And for all his troubles, Read More
If the Tea Party thinks you’re too racist for their ranks, where do you go from there? Has Sarah Palin found someone to replace her spokeswoman yet? Those questions don’t have to be mutually exclusive, if you get my drift. Oh … I’m so coy. Also, I’m not going to bother making anymore jokes about Read More
