“Home Alone” in the Style of Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road”

I think someone just went wild with a thesaurus instead of trying to capture the style of McCarthy.  But this is still an interesting attempt to capture McCarthy’s style of writing. They lift the kid by his blood-dimmed sweater and hang him on a coatrack. Madness on their faces. The mantis gone moronic. The squat’s tonsured head […]

Introducing T-19: An Election Countdown #elxn42

So beginning tomorrow, I’m planning to have a 19 day series of posts with various thoughts and observations about the Canadian Federal Election.

Music Monday – “Book flight December but I leave in May/Drugs are generic but still work the same/I get logins for Netflix from my cousin Greg/Thanks Greg!”

Then Pace heard us laughing so he had to […]

Amazing that a spot like this exists on the Internet which is not known for people respectfully disagreeing and/or ever admitting they’re wrong! 😉

“His Name Was Alan Kurdi”

A “refugee crisis” is something far away and remote.  Kenya.  Bangladesh.  Syria. Foreign.  Easily ignored. But this.  This is something different. This is a child. A child whose death has given a face to the millions of other children and adults around the world who are fleeing natural disasters and famine and war. A child posed as […]

Bobby Jindal Campaign Announcement = All Kinds of Cringe

So there are about a gabzillion people running for the Republican presidential candidate nomination. What’s a latecomer to the race left to do to get people talking? How about release a slice of life attempt at a “viral video” featuring mommy and daddy telling their kids daddy’s decided to run for President? So bad… the camera […]
