The Delivery Presents – Fail, Fail, More Fail, and King Cake! Posted: 25 Feb 2012 01:36 PM PST Episode 135 was…well, let’s just say that I do hope you have as much fun listening to it as I did making it. The second half turned into the Goofy Jimmie Fun Half-Hour of Funness and romped through the subjects of Bigfoot, my proposal to make a “Chasing Chupacabras” television show, the Nativity, and the not at all true origins of King Cake. Yep, all that in 30 minutes. The first half? Well, let’s just say that freedom was on the menu and I, at least, am offering as much of it as we all want to take. It’s going to take some doing, and I don’t think the GOP’s “frontrunner” is the guy to help us get there, but we’re creative and determined. We can get there. I will say that I know my “first halves” have been pretty dour lately. I think that needs to change a bit over the next couple of months. On the other hand, the news really isn’t good and I don’t see where it’s going to get much better in the near future. We’ll need a very clear view of what the situation is and where we see it headed in the future. More than that, we’ll need as many possible solutions as we can get on the table and that, really, is why I unleash the rants. The more we have frank discussions about what is wrong and what we have to do so fix it, the sooner we’ll be on the way back to real prosperity.

Clearing the Browser Tabs – The “Yeah, I’m a Bad Blogger” Edition Posted: 25 Feb 2012 11:47 AM PST Okay, so maybe I’ve lost my blogging mojo. I’ve not written on back to back days here in forever. The Presidential primary season has ground me down to the point where my soul is a shriveled nub of cynicism and my desire to dive into the fray is lower than my desire to listen to Milli Vanilli’s Greatest Hits. Pop culture has devolved to such a mass of derivative and lazy piffle that all I really have left is a weak shake of my old man cane and a barely croaked-out “Get off my lawn”. Yeah, it’s been rough out here for this blogger and let me tell you, I don’t see where things are going to get better in the foreseeable future. But do not despair! My loss of mojo is your link-loving gain. It’s been a while since I cleared the browser tabs, but it’s time and I have many good links to share. Who knows? Maybe writing this post will re-mojofy my blogging heart and I’ll write some proper posts. And now, links! The Occupy movement really is a bunch of criminals and squatters and the sooner we’re rid of them, the better off we’d all be. Seriously. I don’t know that this is an example of Creeping Sharia, but it is an absolutely bone-headed decision by a judge who put his personal beliefs before the supreme law of the land. If you’re looking for “Boots to Asses” motivation, John Brodigan has all you could want. What brings prosperity? Free market capitalism the way we do it right here in America. What brings corruption, economic stagnation, and misery? This crapulence and this crapulence from the best minds of the progressive movement. In related news, the crapulence will crush us all if we don’t stop it very soon. Under what class would you put “Campaign for Obama”? History? Social Studies? Creative writing? Recess? It’s not often a public official admits right out in the open that his only plan is to oppose the other sides rather extensive economic plan, but it happened. If Anthropogenic Global Warming is true, why do so many of its most distinguished supporters have to lie, cheat, and steal to prove it? Speaking of science and the environment, chalk up another proof that hydraulic fracturing poses no particular health danger or menace to the environment. The opponents of fracking have spent a lot of time, and millions of dollars, to convince us that we must not use the vast reserves of natural gas at our disposal. You can help push back against the tide of fantasy with a small donation to a film that’ll tell both sides of the fracking story — and when I say small, I mean it. One dollar will get you in the credits. I think President Obama should hire my friend Kira Davis as a speechwriter. She knows how to craft a good apology. Is Mitt Romney’s campaign just the teensy bit brittle? I don’t know the answer, but I know they did kick the hardest working blogger I know out of their Michigan office. In related news, look at the nuns! Portland? Meh. Do you have Spotify? Do you want to listen to Earth, Wind, and Fire? Of course you do.
