Google’s Earth (Day) Missing Something
So…yesterday was Earth Day. Typically I grit my teeth and do my best to ignore the whole thing. Why do we need a whole day dedicated to this subject? Aren’t we barraged with it everywhere we turn already? I thought I was doing just fine with “waste not, want not”, “use it up and wear […]
A Little Music to “Sequester” By
For those of you who dread the Kalends of March, repeat after me: The world will not end if the federal government spends only $15 billion more this year than last. Repeat as needed. When a panic attack is imminent, listen to this song. Try singing along. Oh, and one more thing . . . […]
The More The Plans Fail – A NATIONAL Alert System Test At 2pm CST Nov. 9
This is a post – a really short post – do not be alarmed – there will not be that much reading to do – do not pass go…do not collect $200 (I think that’s like, $20,000 adjusted for inflation, right?) Anyway… If this had been an actual article, it would actually include important and […]
Linda’s Birthday Gift To You: A Little Sunday Sunshine
Editor’s Note: To Linda’s birthday note, I’ve added a picture taken recently at Pioneers Park (by the pond, under columns from the old D.C. Treasury building).

Your Mama’s SO Ugly, She’s — DISABLED???
“THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, […]
The Cat’s Away — Let’s PLAY!
Shelli is away this weekend, leaving me IN CHARGE here at the GiN joint. I recall the last time I was left in charge of something this important. My brother-in-law was getting married and asked me to take his extra set of car keys and hide his car in a parking garage near the reception […]
Short and Tweet: Iowa Blogger OWNS Obama, DC on Twitter, Mirth Ensues
Linda’s article “Debt Ceiling: I Laugh Because I Must Not Cry, That is All!” at the end of June included an embedded video entitled “Eat the Rich”, which vividly illustrated how the class warfare cries for imposing higher taxes on “the rich” isn’t even close to the right approach to solving our increasing economic […]
Seem Like Instability & Chaos Ruling the World?
For what seems like an extended period, headlines from around the globe seem to have been even more negative than usual. Close to home, we’ve looming tax increases in Lincoln, people who’ve been flooded out of their homes for months in the region, droughts in the south, a nasty debt-ceiling debacle and subsequent credit downgrade, […]
