July 2015

I swear.

It’s like power equipment can smell the money in my bank account. The tractor just lunched a mower spindle shaft (THe one I couldn’t afford to replace last time, natch) and the parts are weeks out. Guess I’ll have to try to make them myself.Like I did last time. Damn.

It is bad enough

That all around us are the type of monsters who will kill their own children for convenience’s sake; now we will have women getting pregnant for the payday. Don’t tell me this won’t happen.

Bloom County, apparently, is back.

I liked the strip. I read it in the Sun Times when I worked at Inland, all those years ago. I read it when Opus had a little beak, that’s how long ago it was. And Breathed was rarely overtly political, and when he was, he was relatively even handed. Or it seemed so at the time.

Having read some interviews with him since, I suspect he has become at least as partisan as Trudeau or McGrueder, and all I can say is I hope he keeps it to himself. It would be sad if his considerable talent were devoted to john-stewart esque bullshit.
