In case you may have missed this newsflash, our country is under a withering siege by vicious drug cartels. Those dastardly drug lords think that just because the federal government is tying itself in gordian knots figuring out what the hell to do about COVID-19 that we’ve taken our eye off the real killer here,Continue reading “so many wars”

the queen is dead, long live the queen
One of my dearest friends died this morning. God damn him. What the hell am I to do with the rest of my life’s sunday afternoons? He created a world that was every bit as magical as anything disney conjured up. He collected people like most people accumulate tchotchkes. The essential attributes of a desirableContinue reading “the queen is dead, long live the queen”
I deeply apologize to my long-suffering followers who have been stranded in the desert without MJE to offer sage advice on how to survive the current political shit show. You’re not going to like it but here’s my down low: we are all of us thoroughly screwed and we’re going to remain screwed for theContinue reading
bang, you’re dead
Do you really want your kid’s teacher packing in the classroom? Really? Boy oh boy I am neither a sociologist nor an education or behavioral expert but even MJE can see the (literal) fatal flaws in this idiotic idea. The conald has revised his blanket suggestion that all teachers be armed to a vague recommendationContinue reading “bang, you’re dead”
MJE’s persian carpet

It’s great, I am never disappointed. Although I did just readContinue reading “MJE’s persian carpet”
what can brown do for you?
MJE is just back from her pre-op appointment. Nurse Holly was my angel of mercy today. We went through my medical history, medications and bad lifestyle choices, yet again. When she got to the drinking bit, the max option was 3+ a night. She allowed that she sure couldn’t get through life without her dailyContinue reading “what can brown do for you?”
death defying decisions
MJE is by nature pretty controlling, not to an unpleasant degree mind you but I just like to be in the driver’s seat as often as possible. So, sticking with the automotive analogy, when my car starts petering out I want to make sure that the mechanic doesn’t do something stupid, unnecessary and expensive whenContinue reading “death defying decisions”
RIP
MJE was perusing the obits the other day and was surprised at just how many people kick the bucket every day. FYI, it’s a lot. Curiously, out of all of the deceased only one person “died” (but it was peacefully.) All of the others’ expirations were euphemized in the blandest terms. “Passed away” and “passed on,”Continue reading “RIP”
