Blessed Are Those Who Believe Without Seeing

This is not a religious post. The title is the title because it’s one of those undeniable bits of wisdom. More important, blessed are those who believe without touching.

It’s not most of us.

Okay, so the posts this week could be entitled in common “An unfortunate series of posts, composed of Sarah having experienced unfortunate things, knowledge of which she dearly hoped would never be needed in America.”

Yet, here we are.

Other than my suspecting that the People’s Convoy glows ...

Just This One Simple Trick

Hi. I am your friendly neighborhood storyteller, and I’m here to remind you of one very important thing: STORIES AREN’T REAL.

Understand I’m not throwing stones here. To an extent, because storytelling and belief in stories is an evolutionary selected for trait, (because if the story teaches you that tigers bite, you don’t go near the tiger and live to have descendants — particularly important in a pre-literate society.) humans have always had trouble confusing story and reality.

The ...

HURRAY AND THERE SHE GLOWS

Hurray and there she glows, hurray and there she glows. Hurray and there she glows, so early in the morning….

What, oh, never mind me. I was just thinking of this “People’s Trucker Convoy.” Sure, sure, I’ve been assured that people I know know some of the organizers and they’re totally not sus. But you know, we all have dumbass and gullible friends.

Okay, so to level set: I’d heard of trucker convoys forming last week. The earliest started March 1st. (From the North East.) There were...

Promo post tomorrow

The blinding headache is back and promos are FIDDLY.

will do tomorrow, okay?

Here We Stand

It’s 7 in the morning, and I did not sleep even five minutes. I don’t think I dozed. Which is a problem, because I need to get some stuff done today, including paying work that’s been delayed by all the illnesses since the beginning of the year, and I need to buy at least cat food and litter, since we have the world’s fussiest female waif about both. And, well, you too need to go shopping, I know.

Because– well, you know.

But instead of sleeping like a normal human being, I sat here...

This Is the Stupidest Time Line

Did any of you have “Trudeau goes full Castro” on his 2022 bingo card? Because I didn’t. And our idiots are preparing to throw the national guard at our own truckers.

Younger son is working on the boxes NOW (TBF he had to recover from work on house) and I told him that this is supposing there’s a way to ship next month.

This accelerated a bunch of things. Let’s say I spent the morning looking for office furniture. But I’ve never bought furniture. And I’ll be several times d*mned if I...

Aliens Among Us

I have in the last week come to the conclusion there are a vast number of aliens among us. And no, I don’t mean alien conspiracies, lizard aliens or space aliens, though the way this year is going, I might have to apologize to the people I laugh at for believing in those.

I mean that a vast number of young people, ostensibly and obviously human, born of human parents, have lived in conditions so different from the rest of humanity throughout history (and most places) and been taught so l...

You Short Sighted Goat Fornicating Pre-K DropoYou Short Sighted Goat Fornicating Pre-K Dropouts – Bob -The Frighteningly Sane*-Fool

Dear Officials of the Canadian Government,

I am an American.  Additionally, I am no friend of Canada, or of Canadians.

Justin Trudeau, a senior official holding positions you are apparently endorsing, has said that a certain internal security issue is a result of American interference, and that as a result, all options will be on the table.

I wou...

Kinetic

I always know when the left is desperate for us to do something stupid: I start getting a lot of first time commenters saying things like we should kill so and so, and it’s time to hang them all, and–

No, I don’t approve those.

In retrospect, btw, I should have known something was up with January 6th because I got a ton of first time commenters telling me to go, and offering to pay for it. I wanted to, but besides being broke, I didn’t see a point to it. (To be fair, that and his eage...

Think it possible, you may be mistaken by Francis turner

Think it possible, you may be mistaken by Francis turner

In 1650 Oliver Cromwell wrote a letter to the Scottish Parliament which includes the famous phrase

I beseech you in the bowels of Christ think it possible you may be mistaken.

The entire letter is fairly short, and if a bit cryptic to the modern reader – particularly the modern secular reader – seems remarkably relevant to the current covidiocy and in particular to the current standoff in Ottawa.

For example in the letter C...
