It's just a rumor that was spread around town

A telegram for a picture postcard

Within weeks they'll be reopening the shipyard

And notifying the next of kin

Once again.

With all the will in the world

Diving for dear life

When we could be diving for pearls.

There they are - always showing courage...

Andrews McMeel Syndication, which distributes Dilbert, did not immediately respond Saturday to requests for comment. But Adams defended himself on social media against those whom he said “hate me and are canceling me.”

Canceling this strip and any future and current collections is a no brainer. We’ll see what they actually do.

To Save Money, Maybe You Should Skip Breakfast

Several breakfast staples saw sharp price increases due to a perfect storm of bad weather and disease outbreaks—and continued effects from R

Maybe we could also try eating the rich for breakfast with a nice flaky croissant.

Podcast Idea: Serve The Servants. A look back at what shaped our most sarcastic and jaded generation: Gen X. The story of how we all tried hard to have fathers but instead we all had dads. Stories about eating Pop Tarts for dinner and watching cartoons alone after school and not letting on we were home alone if we had to answer the phone. Remembrances of going to the record store to buy an album. Not so much a celebration of Gen X but, at long last, an acknowledgment of it. Whatever.

 Yesterday, Tanya DePass and B. Dave Walters announced that Andrews McMeel Publishing had cancelled its contract to publish Into the Mother Lands, an Afrofuturist RPG, and was closing its RPG division. “Despite keeping up our end of the bargain and doing all of our work in good faith to get [Andrews McMeel] a final manuscript by their deadline; they informed us they are no longer publishing RPG’s despite having a contract with us; and terminated it during a meeting to inform us of shutting down the RPG division,” DePass and Walters wrote.

It is really depressing to me that every issue we are facing now has it roots in Republican policy and the Trump “administration” and somehow the Democrats are going to lose ground to these frauds and morons come November. The Dems are 100% born losers. They can’t help but to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory everytime.

If Biden can”t get a gasoline bill through Congress then he should invoke the defense production act (or something) to do something, anything about gas prices. He should be issuing executive orders right and left on the economy and public safety. Instead he sits there and does nothing. Trump ruled like a king for 4 years and Biden tiptoes around scared to death he might upset a Republican.

These Jan 6 hearings are also totally worthless. We all SAW a coup unfold on TV a year and a half ago. 40% of the country is in on it. Are they they trying to win the hearts and minds of the hicks and bullies that cheered that carnage on? Stupid. They should be pulling in CEOs and grilling them on price gouging. It wouldn’t accomplish anything but at least then it would look like they were doing something.

The Democrats deserve to lose in November. The scary and awful truth is that most of us can’t afford to see that happen.

Satan in New England:

Write your name in my book. Come dance with me in secret in the woods after dark.

Satan in the South:

How would you like to bet yo' soul that I play a meaner fiddle than you do? Lighting with the sun out? That's me and the old lady having trouble.

Why is the devil so much classier up North?

The only thing that gives me any comfort at this points are my dreams in which the South is nuked or destroyed in a massive fire. Not real but I hold onto that warmth after I wake up for as long as I can.
