I Hacked Myself
There’s a lot of talk of Russian hacking these days, and not the type that accompanies a bout of pneumonia in Minsk. I’m talking about computer hacking. I know I’ve had my computer hacked previously, but I have no idea why. I have no money. I have such little credit left that when I try and use my credit card, stores make me leave collateral. Go hack someone with actual wealth. Hack my computer and the best you can hope for is to assume some of my debt.
Just recently though, I hacked myself, and in particular, this very blog. Sit back, strap in and get ready for a story that may just change your life, or waste some time. I know it’s one of those two.

I’m Unfair to Myself?
It looks like anti-Trump activists are trying to schedule a nationwide general strike to protest Trump policies on February 17th. I’m usually up for all Trump protests, but I feel conflicted on this one. The problem is …
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
Is it just me, or is Kellyanne Conway looking more and more evil each day? She looks like she’s waiting for Snow White to take a bite from a poison apple in this recent pic …
I think she’s trying to keep pace in the evil department with the rest of the Trumpsters. But at the rate they’re going with their evil plans, she may have to look like this soon to keep up with the rest of them …
The Alarming Clock
I see that recently those crazy atomic scientists moved the Doomsday Clock to 2 & 1/2 minutes to midnight, as close to the midnight hour as it has been in decades. That was big news, but I think they totally overlooked a looming problem. Daylight Savings Time starts on March 12th. Don’t we turn our clocks ahead a whole hour then? Gulp.
Foul Play
The NBA is having a little trouble with the new immigration rules as some NBA players may be affected when they travel to Toronto for a game with the Raptors, and then try and return to the USA. The NBA is also anticipating trouble for its Basketball Without Borders Global Camp, scheduled to take place during this weekend’s upcoming All Star Game activities.
The NBA does not appear ready to scrap that program, but may just tweak it a bit …
Nazis Have Feelings, Too
“I mean, everyone’s suffering in the Holocaust …” – Reince Priebus (Trump’s Chief of Staff), Meet The Press 1-29-17
Yes, we know Reince, Nazi Lives Matter, too.

Hats Off (due) to Trump
After just 1 week of the Trump Reich, I am sad to report that I think it is just about time to buy a Make America Great Again hat and start wearing it.
My current cap just doesn’t cut it anymore …
Now that Trump is steering us towards becoming a Western Russian state, I just don’t feel comfortable wearing it anymore. America WAS already great. Now after just 1 week of being Trumpified, there’s not so much greatness anymore. I may have to revert to my pre-election hat …
Although I don’t think I can wear a MAGA hat, I think now and for the next 4 years, it may be most appropriate.
Robot Wars
I was in the parking lot unloading groceries into my car when the car next to me started honking and flashing its lights. It wasn’t much. The lights flickered on and off a bit.
The car horn was more of a be – beep, rather than a BEEEEEEP! Nothing too ominous. Looks like they had installed a sophisticated motion-detecting security alarm on the vehicle. As innocuous as that may sound to you, I DID NOT LIKE THIS ONE BIT. It was now a robot car, watching me, reacting to my every movement, wondering if it could borrow a cigarette from me.
Followers With Regrets
My follower list continues to grow slowly, about as slow as a Republican coming up with an idea to advance social justice. I think if I get 30 more followers to this blog, I qualify for cult status! Yay, and pass the Kool-Aid around the compound.
Two very dear friends of mine just became followers of this blog. I want to make it clear to them and to all my followers that it is OK to have regrets and admit mistakes were made. But please don’t change your mind about following this blog. I am so looking forward to the obvious tax benefits when I can finally register as a cult with the IRS.
Rotten to the Core
Please Pass the Spellcheck
I really can’t add much to this except to say that this is a 100% real tweet …
Sad!
Obama’s Oversight
A week after leaving office in an exclusive interview with our crack investigative team, President Obama admitted a major oversight during his administration. “I’m not really sure how we missed it,” puzzled the former President. “Everyone knew we were going to do it, and then we just never got around to it.”
Sofa, So Good
Now that I work from home, my wife wrote down “couch” on my daughter’s school form for my place of employment.
Slip Sliding Away
We got some snow and ice here overnight. It was very icy and slippery this morning as I walked my daughter to school. I’ll bet she can’t wait for her high school graduation this May. Anyway, it was very, very slippery out. I’ll bet you are wondering just how icy and slick out it was. Thanks for asking! It was so slippery out that I not only carried my cell phone in case I fell and broke a hip, but I had 2 cell phones with me in case I broke both hips. Thanks for reading and I hope you appreciate that I thought little enough of this blog post to not include a “Read More” link.
Can You Spot The Fraud?
Always Open With a Joke
My youngest daughter is doing a presentation today on immigration. She practiced in front of me and I gave her some tips, being the polished public speaker I am. I thought her presentation needed some punching up, so I suggested she open with this Trump immigration joke …
