It does occur to me, when it comes to content, that I’ve built up a bunch of stuff on Patreon for my patrons there. I’ve always intended to put them up here, too, so let’s start. This short-short story (“Resurrection Man“) was the first one I did. Hope you folks enjoy it!

My RedState post from today about lobbyists and sex in Missouri.
I’m going to start putting links to these the day after I post ’em on RS, the better to smooth out content, but this one about a bill requiring lobbyists to disclose when they’re having sex with politicians is too funny to miss. For given values of ‘too funny:’ which is to say, highly esoteric ones. Not that the bill will ever pass, of course. Lobbyists, remember?
‘Night and Day.’
I am just having remarkable difficulty in getting back into the swing of things. Not yet worrisome, but I can see worrisome from here.
Annnnd here’s my RedState post on the NYDN’s hidden code message.
Found here. Short version? Well, look.
I’m telling you: there’s a hostage situation going on over there.
My RedState post on electric cars is up.
Found here. Short version: nope, not worth it. Unless you’re an Obama crony, of course.
DC news organization car robbed… while parked at anti-robbery press conference.
This is not irony: …well, maybe it is. “An ABC7 News car was broken into while the crew was attending a press conference held by D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Police Chief Cathy Lanier to discuss a Task Force created to fight robberies.” Well, maybe it’s not: I’m really not sure. Apparently the robber did a smash and grab while the mayor and police chief were right there: is there a brazenness exemption for irony? Or a hold-in-utter-contempt exemption? Because both are on display, here.
Via Memeorandum.

PS: I suspect that every cop in DC is going to be looking for this particular so-and-so. Or will at least give a nice payout to whoever gives him up.
Too much bunching up at night on my posting lately?
It’s seeming to work out that way. Possibly I should start pre-loading posts? Or maybe just start blogging during the actual day again?
Never Go Full Birther, revisited.
What I wrote about Rubio birthers in 2011…
YOU ARE CURRENTLY FROLICKING IN THE ENDLESS, SUN-LIT PLAINS OF STUPIDITY.
…applies equally well to Cruz birthers now.

Goodness gracious.
“Who’s Next?”
When I first really got into Tom Lehrer, this was… well, That Was The Year That Was. In other words, by then it was just another relic of the Cold War. Which we had happened to win, and so everything was great. Which it was!
But there is never an End To History.

…Sorry, I got nothing.
Even the Zootopia trailer was a bit of a stretch. Successful hydrogen bomb tests by rogue nation-states tends to have a chilling effect on light-and-fluffy posts. Although God knows we could all use a laugh…
