Assortment

Ah, won’t it be sweet if he loses by one vote! RINO Senator Dick Lugar isn’t eligible to vote in the Indiana Republican primary.

I just stumbled across Friends of CO2, a blog that specializes in puncturing the Cli-Fi movement’s balloons. Lovely graphics, great posts. Check it out.

Scrooge Steve at the Pub begrudges an employee a perfectly, er, legitimate sick day.

Dr. Krauthammer pours (increasingly expensive) fuel on the flames.

Governor Bobby Jindal takes on the education establishment in Louisiana.

Mr. G lauds my favorite Democratic president. Plus, President Hayes strikes back at Obama.

What if Bill Maher hosted Sesame Street?

On the subject of “reality” shows, I’m with Swampy.

If you don’t want to look like a dork while out cycling, be sure to read Boy on a Bike regularly.

I’m beginning to think that at least 50% of the people who go into politics are motivated primarily by the carnal opportunities afforded.

TimT: not just a poet, but also a connoisseur of cheese.

When you’ve hit rock bottom, I guess there’s nothing to do but let your awfulness spread out, as MSNBC has done in hiring voluble, semiliterate demagogue, Al Sharpton.

Meet Joe “Everyman” Biden. And the really great thing is, he’s not an embarrassment.

Free speech: these guys get it.

Thanks for the link. Hayes was an unheralded President.

I think I'll give Steve at the public house a nickname: The Hanging Publican

In honor of where he leaves his readers.

Whoa Bullick Whoa!

I saw that Rinardman. It seems one has to journey accross the world to the Public Authors Commentary Office to obtain feedback for a humble anonymous Ozzi blog!

My instinct for pleasing customers can't help but kick in here, what is it you'd like me to change? Please be quite specific.
I'll do what I can. Please keep in mind that all my jottings are true life events, the sort of mundane stuff that happens to us all, I just try to write them in an entertaining manner.

Steve, your writing is great, very entertaining.

But, you don't always finish the story. You leave us hanging, without a conclusion.

For instance, the story about the two lady officers that wanted to shut down the pub. Did they succeed? Did they just leave, without doing anything? Were they hot, nubile young blonds with a badge and a gun? Oh, sorry, getting off track there.

In other words, we need a denouement.
