What if Lincoln had been a Redneck
Has there ever been a more disparaged, more put upon minority group than that of the lowly Redneck? Let me answer that for you….NO. Never in the piss-poor annals of this great nation has one group been so downtrodden.
Oh I can hear the disclaimers being cried out even now.… Read full post »

Walmart: An American Cancer
Often times, when speaking to people in the real world about Walmart, I liken the spread of this retail giant, to the spread of a Cancer. I tell them that we here in America, and indeed, the world now, are like smokers.
Smokers, of which I am one, know that smoking… Read full post »
Yesterday I had to go back to my Walmart store in order to get more paperwork concerning my medical leave. This was about as painful as a coon chewing his foot off to escape a steel trap, then returning to the trap to have his next meal.
But enough about me.… Read full post »

Homer Simpson and the OS Front Page..Some Thoughts

Early Morning Mayhem
There is nothing I hate worse than having my beauty sleep disturbed and this morning it was not only disturbed, it was blasted to smithereens, like manners at an award show.

A Blast From the Past
I beg your indulgence today, while I take us on a trip
with Prof. Peabody and Sherman in the Way-Back Machine.

happened back in this dark age.
In 1965… Read full post »
