You know things are really and truly in the political dumpster when ted cruz is considered to be the great taupe hope of the republican party. The sages caution us that those who don’t study history are doomed to repeat it. MJE agrees, the careful examination of political history may well result in its repetition,Continue reading “god is my campaign manager”

spire!
Some time ago MJE wrote about the Fitbit, which I then thought was the plus non ultra in full frontal digital narcissism. In that same post I predicted the probable invention of a gadget that would document and regulate a number of bodily functions. It did not occur to MJE that there might be aContinue reading “spire!”
heil hair trumpler
Having been entranced of late with WWII, MJE is struck by the frightening similarity between the furer’s and the donald’s rhetoric regarding the “others” who are to blame for whatever fix we are in. At least the donald wants to fence them out instead of fencing them in. And for the millions of undocumented residentsContinue reading “heil hair trumpler”
Sorry for the lengthy hiatus, MJE was in New Orleans for Mardi Gras and it takes everything I have just to survive. Of course, it’s all self-inflicted but debilitating none the less. As I always say, if something is worth doing it’s worth overdoing. And that goes double during Mardi Gras. Bandoleira-Saturnalia came down fromContinue reading
well done
Okay, so after eleven months, the medical industrial complex has finally wrung MJE dry and kicked me to the curb…my right hooter has been mammogrammed, programmed, pajamagrammed, MRI’d, FYI’d, DIY’d, x-rayed, blue rayed, inspected, bisected, dissected, irrigated, oxygenated and irradiated. Every doc, nurse, orderly, lab tech and passerby in several states has felt it, heldContinue reading “well done”
the magic kingdom of medicare
Upon MJE’s first feeble step over the age 65 threshold I was presented with the compulsory red white and blue key card to the gates of the magic medicare kingdom. Whoa nelly, thanks but no thanks to the federal government’s largesse, I’ll take that in dodgy tax deductions if it’s all the same to you.Continue reading “the magic kingdom of medicare”
welcome to old age
Okay, so MJE just reached a milestone on Jan 6, Twelfth Night, arriving at the official pearly gates of old age. Sixty five long ones. Leave it to me ole muddah to give birth on a date that would ensure that I would have to endure the full measure of the season (admittedly back thenContinue reading “welcome to old age”
thanks loads
Well the holly, jolly frantic materialism of xmas is over until next month when it will slowly start to creep back in. I gave the OB&C a pasta maker and a “no oil fryer” both of which are still in boxes under my desk. Well, more accurately I gave them to myself and he wasContinue reading “thanks loads”
what’s a santa to do
MJE is extremely disturbed about what is fast becoming an existential crisis that will adversely affect every parent of every lousy brat on the planet. I’m not talking about global warming, that’s chump change compared to the apocalypse on our very doorstep. Think about it…you’ve got the holiday season nipping at your ass. This isContinue reading “what’s a santa to do”
isis inc
MJE has just learned that an Isis budget for the month of October from one of the provinces it controls was smuggled out and released to the press. Turns out, even isis has bean counters. It reads like a spread sheet from IBM for god’s sake. Who knew they used Quickbooks Pro Desktop 2015,Continue reading “isis inc”
