mimeograph... last time I saw one, our daughter's Kindergarten teacher gave the kids a page printed BACKWARD - mirrored - yes you can do that with mimeo - and when we confronted her, the teacher blew it off as nothing. Our genius filled in her name backward. And that was the terminus of our experience with Catholic education in Chicago. Our teachers were not that dumb when the Mrs (W. side Chicago Catholic) & I (smallville Public school) were young.

Oh! Just remembered that my first published cartoons were hand-carved, backward, into mimeo stencils for the Jr HS newsletter. That was challenging.

Oh no! I killed the blog again. Back to the mask cave.

And by available, I meant unavailable.

Skin tight. http://tinyurl.com/jvsb7au ... The content owner has made this video available for mobile devices. WTF? Why do people do that?

Watching Oblivion...1994 or 2011?

I have nothing to say. Therefore, I'LL SAY IT LOUD!

I'm here to protect the city. Who do I punch?

It's midnight in the middle of America. Do you know where your children are?

I tried, I really tried, but, but, the level of intellectual intercourse, the intensely involved debate points, the whole philosophical metaphysical drift of the conversation was just too much for me. Makes my brain hurt. You folks are just too brainy.

I blame DDRino, for making these posts that tie all the little bits together. That's like work!

A big virtual hug to the whole blog. Good night.

IGNORANT NI**ERS... THIS IS WHY I HATE BLACKS IN GENERAL

"In general." Is that like, "I love humanity, it's people I can't stand" — without the "love humanity" part?

Kids, I'm not some liberal-metrosensitive nor a political correctoid; I recognize that people often speak or write, um, exhuberantly, and I can and do let a lot of verbal crap pass, in relatively harmless fun. (One couldn't hang around the locker room of Ace of Spades otherwise.) To detest the degenerates, harangue the half-wits, and castigate the creepazoids, individually and culturally, there are abundant reasons. Race is not one.

The worst thing about the constant cries of "raaaaacism" is how they mask and devalue actual racism (usually of the decriers). Also, how the racial-culturalists actually fan the flames of division and prejudice.

I might have reason to be prejudiced. I've been jumped & beat up by a gang of black yutes. I've been screamed at by a privilege-entitled gov't-employed black tenant ("step outside and we'll deal with this man-to-man," threatened the tenant's not-permitted live-in boyfriend - seriously). I've dealt with blacks in business who were plainly trying to rip me off and guilt-trip the whiteboy not to fire them. I was even denounced as a racist by a black kid at college, because I had no hesitation in using the N word, in passing discussion, albeit never as a pejorative (he later became my friend, telling me, "I had you figured for a white Southern bigot"). All irrelevant. That for every Thomas Sowell we might have ten thousand Hooded Trayvons is irrelevant.

I've been threatened by, ripped off by, and screamed at by far more whites than blacks. I just deal more with whites is all. If I were to hate based on race, there's an awful lot of liberals destroying our culture and country who look white to me.

Howevermuch I might despise some cultures or beliefs or behaviors, I could never hate blacks, or Muslims, or Vietnamese, or Koreans, or Afghanis, Germans, or Japs (nodding at the calendar being between Hiroshima and Nagasaki anniversaries) "in general," because, seeing each person as an individual child of our Almighty Creator, I cannot view people in Clots, as do the entitled, the dividers, the bigoted, the socialists, and the Original Divider.

Mostly, I could tell you about several blacks who are among the finest people I've ever known; folks I grew up with and loved, the good tenants; people who valued faith, family, work, and service. They are the proof of why I hate the evil of bigotry with all my might.

But that's just me. And I'm out of here.

Just tried to explain to one of my sons why Chris Matthews is "tingles." He replied, maybe he has skin cancer in that leg.

I know I've said this before, but. No antenna-TV. No cable-TV. No satellite-TV. I don't even watch TV series from the undernet anymore. Can't recall how many years. But, then, I pretty much quit watching regular TV news back during Cronkite's day. Seriously, you guys.

When I go to some public place, or to someone's house, where there's Thrust Media playing, it's actually a little bit of a cultural shock. Like visiting a hoarder's house, or a meth den, or people with children in public schools; I wonder, why do you subject yourself to this?

My give-a-poop meter for Mass Media being unplugged and sitting on top of the dusty 30yo CRT-TV in the back room, I only know anything about the likes of Chris Matthews, Angelina Jolie, or Sharknado because of the alert and sharing bloggers and commenters on Blogs Like This (ha). Consequently, I know more than I'd choose to.

I need to be reminded periodically that Lesser Mortals are still heavily influenced by those 20th Century media sources. And the middle class.

"Who is included in the socialist contract?" - Robert B. Reich via MWR

FIFY, RBR. Social is a different contract than Bob's.

endless fonts: founts? (Something other than Comic Sans, adds the Mrs.)

"Above and beyond all else, though, what we are finding is that debt-financed spending is a disastrous way to run an economy."

Y'think? Math is harrrrd.

Governments should administer justice, defend & police. Everything else, almost, fire, water, infrastructure, postal service, yes even parking spaces, can be dealt with in a different manner. But once you've got that gov't-services camel's nose in the tent... everyone is at the trough.

Excellent overview, Monty.

I never got my kids to Disneyland. Yet, years later, they live. :/

As we have all seen, laziness and incompetence isn't enough to disqualify Persons of Color©, be they a low-level cop or president.

Oboy! A hook on which to hang a webwork. Short vid from last October, but, he's still lazy.

Why would anyone think he's lazy?

Bare minimum Vic, but MPPPP Hollywood story. Well, I'll take what I can get, since my "platinum" membership card disintegrated with the humidity.

Good morning, revolutionaries. I brought a dozen glazed for the buffet. Where's the coffee?

free Willy... heh... gnight now.

It's midnight in the middle of America. Many hours until the dawn.

Help I'm a rock!

I didn't read ever' one o' them words in the post, but I lahked them purty movin' pitchers, what ones what I could get t'workin'. (The one with the water bottle was worth the price of admission.)

Anybody say anything interesting yet in ca 400 comments (in case I don't get back to them all)?

And... there will just be one ONT tonight, right?

Stay tooned.
