Program Note

[ Posted Thursday, December 16th, 2010 – 17:57 UTC ]

No column today, sorry.
But tomorrow should make up for it, as we present the first of our two-part end-of-the-year awards, here. Preparing these columns takes a LOT of time, which is what I've been doing all day (I'm only up to May in reviewing last year...). We're doing the awards columns early this [...]

A Question For Regular Readers

[ Posted Tuesday, August 17th, 2010 – 19:51 UTC ]

Since we've had quite a number of very contentious columns for the past few weeks, I thought we could all use a break, so that I may present a totally and utterly self-serving column.

Program Note

[ Posted Wednesday, July 28th, 2010 – 04:23 UTC ]

We are back at home base, as is the car... to which I can only respond: "don't ask."
I apologize for the interruption in our normal column service, and promise everyone that a Wednesday column will appear at least pretty close to normal posting time.
I just drove 500+ miles, and for the first time in a [...]

From The Archives -- Taxing Marijuana

[ Posted Friday, July 23rd, 2010 – 17:00 UTC ]

[Program Note: Sorry, no Friday Talking Points column today. The good news is that this will be our final "encore presentation" of an old column, and new columns will begin again on Monday. This column ran approximately a year ago, and was rather prophetic, since a report just out by the folks at [...]

From The Archives -- Tea And Sympathy

[ Posted Tuesday, July 20th, 2010 – 16:29 UTC ]

Tea doesn't get much respect in America. This historical snubbing will continue Wednesday, with protests across America meant to evoke the Boston Tea Party, a seminal event in the foundation of our county. How effective these protests will be is going to be open to interpretation, however.

Sorry, folks, too sick to type today, and likely Tuesday as well. Got some sort of flu or something. Again, my apologies...

Fixing My Own Leak

[ Posted Thursday, June 17th, 2010 – 19:49 UTC ]

This is really nothing more than a glorified "Program Note," just to warn everyone. The wife's car, which she totally depends on, had its own blowout two days ago. Yesterday, many hours were spent diagnosing the leak. Today, many hours were spent beneath the engine of the car, actually fixing the leak.

Program Note

[ Posted Friday, May 21st, 2010 – 23:23 UTC ]

New ads are coming. They're likely going to be annoying. Sorry about that, but I feel it's better to take the advertisers' money than to beg for donations, personally.
This weekend, we'll be playing around with the ad layouts. If anything looks horrendous to you, or breaks your browser, let me know.

Program Note: Playing Hooky

[ Posted Thursday, May 6th, 2010 – 16:37 UTC ]

Just a short note to inform everyone that I'm "playing hooky" today, and there will be no column. One, it's been a really nice spring day, and two, I was up late doing some behind-the-scenes work here at the site, fixing bugs and whatnot, so I think I deserve a day off. [Note: [...]
