What goes in, comes out

I think it’s one of Newton’s laws. The main one had something to do with, uh, the gravity of the situation. What goes up must come down. Unless it goes into orbit. He didn’t know from orbits. But this proves jalapenos aren’t the only intestinal destroyer.

“The following evening, I was reminded about yet another property of the Ruby Root, having been momentarily horrified at the reddish color appearing in the porcelain bowl. ‘Holy crap!’ I thought. ‘Am I passing another kidney stone?’ And then I remembered the beets.”

I haven’t remembered a beet since childhood, when ma-man used to served them sliced from the can. I think it was a can. Haven’t seen one since.

Adios, Ziggy Street

The city government played along for a while. Then they got serious.

Yesterday they removed the David Bowie street sign that Ziggy Stardust fans had got up in place of Bowie Street, an apparent reference to slave dealer and Alamo icon James Bowie, though the history on the original sign is unclear.

The change was less about slavery than about the rocker who finally fell to earth the other day, dead at 69 from cancer, the great destroyer.

Nice try, Ziggy fans. Keep pushing the formal petition. You never know, what with the slavery angle in a city as politically correct as Austin, you just might succeed. After all, Ziggy already has a whole constellation to himself.

Our inept Navy

You could blame Obumbles. Lots of people are. But it was our allegedly mighty Navy that made the mess he only stepped in. Presumably the immediate, on-scene commander of this humiliation has been relieved and is awaiting courts martial and a ruined career. They do that to commanders whose boats merely run aground. Not to mention the chatty noncom who ought to be booted.

Omar, you naughty boy

“Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan, who came to Houston from Iraq in 2009, was indicted last week on three charges, including attempting to provide support to a designated terrorist organization. He pleaded not guilty to all three charges during a court appearance on Wednesday.”

Another lone wolf, so called. The main charge was planning to bomb a Houston shopping mall. Much more logical target than Wall Street, I must admit.

A Christmas story, sort of

“We bluff and bluster,  seemingly in control of our little slice of life.   In reality,  every one of us is connected with invisible threads to every other human on this planet.”

The Way It Was…and now it isn’t
