About Me:: Just a guy on the wrong side of fifty, I’m semi- retired, pseudo-serious, and sometimes literate. I've been on and off line since the days of DOS based bulletin boards. I suffer the ills of a half century of jump-shots, snapshots, and shots of bourbon.... Basel Hayden ....neat.

I’ve been to war and worship and nether came out in the wash.

I smoke too much. I pray too little. I write too slow. I music too loud.

Issues I Care About:: The failure of supply side. The shrinking of the middle class. The rush to theocracy by the Right.

Sagacity--- If I Do Say So.

Originally posted here and here. I was wrong about Obama picking Clinton for SOS. I felt, and still think Bill is problematic. I guess the concerns of our indigent present trumps revisiting Clinton's indulgent past. But the press will run the numbers and the hard right will subtract and divide. Business as usual. And potentially a high price to pay. Don't think Hillary's conformation a cakewalk. And i… Continue

On A Limb.... Hillary No

Originally posted here On an utterance exhibit on cable this afternoon, someone suggested the leak that Eric Holder is to be Obama's AG reveals the President-elect is off message.

It's reported that Mr. Holder was offered, last week, and accepted, last week, the top kick at DOJ contingent on how the Senate would swallo… Continue

And it's ink dark before even a hint of evening appetite. It all makes the cocktail hour murky. Which leads to supplemental consumption and mild depression before dessert.

They speak of feeling weary of "the politics of fear" and claim Mr. McCain and Ms. Palin are "irrelevant" - unless they win, as one supporter in… Continue

wintry mix

Originally posted here and here. It's a "wintry mix" here in Chicago which, like vegetable medley, really sucks. I can't hit the bricks, and the power and cable lines are beginning to limbo, which leads to a likely loss of connectivity. Did I mention I hate ice? And the local weather babe says the whole damn week will be on the rocks. I prefer life neat. I've added some puppy pictures to the graphic a… Continue
