A *really* safe way for me to see the eclipse.

Next to "I do", I think the two sweetest words in the English language are, "It's benign".

Wouldn't it be fantastic if the Chemtrails nuts accidentally ended up supporting the aims of the EPA they rail against?

As an immigrant to the US, I sometimes find things a little alien here even after 16 years of moving from the UK.

That's why it's always good to hear Tim Stanley on BBC Radio4's Any Questions. Listening to that man on any topic leaves me with the sense that emigrating was a good move and that I want nothing to do with that man or the culture that sustains such cretins in the public arena. Fuck that guy and all that he stands for.

It's been an hour and they haven't kicked in yet.

One of the nice bits about being 2 to 3 decades younger than most of the pro-life religious conservatives is the thought that I'll be alive long enough to leave a portion of my estate to funding an abortion clinic named in their honor.

I like to think that with a large enough endowment, the clinic would grow to prominence and that by association, the names of those politicians would in time be associated with something that appalled them.

I'm thinking about it right now.
Thinking. Smiling.

The blamehound notion remained as a conversational shared reference for a decade until I got my dog.

Only my dog is a blamehound in the sense that he detects them and points his muzzle toward the person who farted in an accusatory and startled fashion.

My dog fartles easily.

My brother once told me that he hadn't farted even once since he got a dog. We laughed at the idea of a blamehound, a special breed bred with fart-blame absorption characteristics as a guiding principle.
