I'm 61 and I had a first time experience voting today: waiting in line. I waited about an hour in Chicago's 2nd Ward.

On “Open Mic for the week of 10/28/2024

I gotta say I find any Palestinian-American support for DJT kind of breathtaking. Has he said anything to indicate he's on the side of the Palestinian cause? His actions as president sure don't indicate that.

Netanyahu under fire.

On “Weekend Plans Post: We’re Getting It Back

I'm sure the Commanders' D backs will actually carry out their assignments, unlike a certain Chicago Bear. What an embarrassment.

Round 1 of the high school football playoffs is this weekend, and I have a game tonight. High seed against a low seed, so it's likely gonna be a stinker.

We just got our kitchen remodeled, so this weekend is going to be spent reassembling it and restocking the fridge and pantry. Plus, haircut a visit to the golf store for a new driver (just in time for it to sit in my bag all winter ;-(). Gonna be busy!

Sunday is going to be go to church and sit on my butt day.

Talk about burying the lede!

Hell's bells, even the Dems wouldn't. Preet Bharara, hero of the left, famously left a bunch of bankers uncharged after 2008 saying prosecution would be too hard. Despicable.

Idiocracy was set 500 years in the future.

Israeli government officials giving Hamas a little bulletin board material.

On “Weekend Plans Post: Thinkin’ ’bout Numbers

Shingles #2 kicked me in the butt! I had to knock off work after just a few hours. It didn't last beyond that day for me, though. Hope it's the same for you.
