Took Cruel Wife 3 hours to drive home tonight. I went to get the kids (took today off because I had more than enough hours worked last week) and it was cold and icy. Really cold. Really icy.
So anyway, it sucked. I won’t go into all the reasons why. Just take my word for it, it did.
Global warming is making Michigan a really damned cold place. Make sense of that, willya?
Pearls Before Swine is a favorite comic of mine. Pig and Rat just make me happy. I’m putting this strip in to make a plug for Pastis. May his readership swell.
Pig is my Hero.
Heroes should not be necessarily brave, or strong, or demi-god-like. Heroes should have one requirement and that is that they must be steadfast. Pig is steadfast and loyal to a fault – flying in the face of the Nobel committee. Good for him.

Angry that his teenage daughter was dating an older man, a German dad went to the 57-year-old’s home and castrated him with a bread knife, police said.
Helmut Seifert, originally from Russia, recently pled guilty to attacking Phillip Genscher, according to London’s Telegraph.
Good for you, man! I… uh… I mean… that’s horrible! He castrated the poor… no, I meant what I said, good on you, Helmut.
I saw it as my duty as a father. – Helmut Seifert
How can we contribute to his defense fund?

Punish the leaker, not the papers…? WTF?
Punish the leakers, spare the press: WikiLeaks ushers in scary new age of journalism
There is a huge difference between freedom of the press and breaking the law. I don’t know how journalism was able to get away with granting itself protection from the law but it’s not right. You can’t claim that just because the other guy broke into an ATM and threw money in the street that you aren’t breaking the law when you pocket that money.
Yeah, any situation where anyone trying to take my junk off with a butter knife is going to wind up with one or both of us in the morgue.
All my kids were boys (though I had a step daughter for a short time before she upped and got married, far too late for me to have had the ability to really shape her life. Don’t know who regrets that more, me or her.) But if I had, I could see where the old boy was coming from. I would not have used a butter knife, a 12 gauge would have worked just fine.
Hope y’all keep warm and safe through this storm, LK.
Pig is right, you know. What affects us more everyday? TOAST!!!
If I recall, the maximum time given for murder in Germany is 8 years (tax evasion being 25 years… talk about priorities). Herr Seifert stands a good chance of serving very little time, since he did not resist arrest and the twatmoldy pedophilic fucktard lived.
As to the whole freedom of the press thing… I find it appalling. Why was it ok for the NYT et. al., to print the wikileaks stuff, but NOT ok for them to print the Hadley e-mails??
