THE OVERT AND OBVIOUS CONTEMPT THE CONSERVATIVE ELEMENT HATH FOR THE POOR, UNDEREDUCATED AND EASILY-INFLUENCED knows no bounds. Especially so when it comes to their weaponry in their phony Kulturkrieg designed to pacify the Lower Classes, and the Culturally-Deprived Environments wherein they reside, long enough for them not to know Certain Inconvenient Truths.
One such weapon likely to be the deliberate "dumping" of cheap, cheerful--and plotless--curiosa with soundtracks alternating (or so it... Read Full Story
IT'S ONE THING TO SUGGEST THAT FREE-MARKET CAPITALISM WITH AMERICAN CHARACTERISTICS IS THE LAST AND ONLY HOPE AVAILABLE for the Lower Classes to "save themselves from themselves"--as in their "empowerment towards self-reliance and personal responsibility after years of helpless enslavement to State welfare" and its presumed "tendencies towards promoting Socialist thinking."
But it's another to actually offer proof that can substantiate such a claim.
Hence, it was time to ask ye of that ilk... Read Full Story
IF ANY OF YOU CAN READ THIS ITEM, please let me know.
For some reason or another, one posting as was intended for yesterday has not posted timely into this space, despite repeated contacts to Technical Support @ Blogdrive.
I hope this will serve as remedy.

A SHORT APOLOGY IS IN ORDER FOR THE DELAY IN GETTING THINGS POSTED TO THIS WEBLOG TODAY, in that Your Correspondent had to download WindowsXP Service Pack 3 onto his computer--in the process, reducing available free space on his hard drive to less than half that which is available.
(And all the while thinking that such an update would supplant Service Pack 2 to the point where such would be deleted without performance-related problems.)
In any case, if you think such is a clear sign that the... Read Full Story
THE TITLE OF THIS ESSAY ALLUDETH, DEAR READERS, TO A RUNNING GAG which the British satirical troupe Monty Python had in their third (i.e., 1972) series of Monty Python's Flying Circus on the BBC.
Which, in its turn, inspires Your Correspondent to take "lemon curry" a bit on the literal side--as in adding some curry powder to the rice-and-seasoning blend of Campbell's Supper Bakes Lemon Chicken with Herbed Rice mix; the better to add a little flavour (and colour) to the rice.
Remember, though... Read Full Story
A CONSTANTLY-REPEATED, AND RATHER PATHETIC-SOUNDING MEME, CERTAIN SPECIMENS OF ZEALOTRY AND TRUE BELIEF WHO SHOULD KNOW BETTER will enjoy spreading is excusing the cause of hate, bigotry and intolerance as essential to the defence of America's "antient and pecuilar soverignty and soverign identity," forever seen by that ilk (and their droogs) as "under constant threat from the New World Order."
Not to mention a somewhat related meme suggesting that the defence of American "soverignty and... Read Full Story
MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND IS HERE, AND IN THE MINNWISSIPPI, IT'S CLOUDY, BY AND LARGE. With maybe some rain possible heading into the evening.
Which the farmers and planters would rather not have any more of so they could get the spring fieldwork done for once. And seriously, even if they're hesitant about planting corn or soybeans because of high fuel and fertiliser costs.

STARTING IN THE MID-1970'S, MANY SOFT DRINK MAKERS SWITCHED OVER FROM SUGAR TO CORN-BASED SWEETNERS to cut... Read Full Story
RIGHT WING WATCH AND BRAVE NEW FILMS WOULD LIKE TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING VIDEO of recent remarks from the "spiritual advisor" to The Terrible-Tempered Mr. Bang of Indecision 2008 (otherwise known as John McCain) as invoke His Name to discredit those on welfare, as well as imply that "no Good Christian would go on welfare," let alone put themselves @ risk of moral lapse if they went on welfare:
Which, methinks, is up there with a popular illogical fallacy of equivocation and... Read Full Story

BOASTING AND EXAGGERATION, PERHAPS UNDER AL COHOL'S NEFARIOUS INFLUENCES (THOUGH NOT ACKNOWLEDGING AS MUCH OPENLY), seem to be popular weapons in the arsenal of those Dark Satanic Mills of Conservative Propaganda.
Especially so that specialist in "winning of hearts and minds" to a xenophobic and isolationist agenda expected to be conditioned by an unyielding orthodoxy to free-market capitalism with American characteristics being the Great White Father (so to speak) of the... Read Full Story

TOMORROW, PER THE CALENDAR, WILL BE MAY THE 11TH--THAT DAY IN THE YEAR 1858 which saw Minnesota admitted into statehood as the 32nd of the United States of America.
And 150 years.
With that in mind, Your Correspondent feels it best to extend best wishes to Minnesota on this milestone anniversary of anniversaries.
Yes, Minnesota has gone through quite a lot all this time....
