Hmmmmm

I may have to go back to using my surname as my online identity.

 

H.L. Mencken was a pantywaist

If you wonder why I have cut way back on blogging since the days when I could come up with ten posts a day for weeks on end, part of it is the malevolent stupidity (added later: a case in point, and another) on the ascendancy in American politics these days.

I have to self-edit because a growing percentage of my opinions involves advocating bloodshed. And a growing percentage of that is not hyperbole.

 

Untitled post

My rearview mirror fell off the inside of my windshield again today, after I already repaired it once within the last couple of weeks.

I’m also about to lose the third replacement door-latch handle in the past year on my driver-side door. Nothing I’ve been able to do to resolve the problem with the door-latch mechanism has worked for more than a few weeks — and most recently it hasn’t worked at all.

I’m going to have to take these measly annoyances to a professional to get them fixed once and for all, and if I have to do that I might as well also have the bad fuel-gauge sending unit replaced so I can see how much gas I have in the tank instead of estimating from the tripometer.

That last problem first appeared six years ago when the fuel pump failed and our mechanic had to dismount the fuel tank to replace the pump. The sending unit is also in the tank, so…

Having these aggravations fixed would make driving a 14-year-old truck more tolerable, but I wouldn’t mind just getting something a little more low-maintenance. If we could afford it.

I wonder how much I’ve spent already to keep this truck on the road.

And while we’re on the subject of annoyances, I’m also fed up with idiot websites that change the size of my browser window. There’s no excuse for that bullshit.

Wanted

Whoever owns the rights to the 1966-69 animated “Lone Ranger” series, get those things on DVD. From what I’ve seen, I’m not the only one who’d like to see them again.

For those who don’t know this particular show, it’s not the later one by Filmation with William Conrad doing the Ranger’s voice. Look it up on IMDb and read “Who was that masked toon” on the associated message board.

 

Hamosque

Who the puck cares what Islamist lunatics say about us? I think they’re a waste of oxygen even when they’re not talking.

 

There goes that nickname

I have on occasion referred to President Obama as “President Hoover,” but this comment on this post has instructed me that the nickname doesn’t fit:

Obama couldn’t sharpen Hoover’s pencils.

Back to the drawing board. And no, Mr. President, I have all the sharpened pencils I’ll need.
