Let me get this straight

If you are a highly decorated, certified Air Force pilot hero that has sex with people of the same gender, you have to leave the military, but if you show signs of being a violent Islamic extremist with a bad service record, you get to stay in the military until you kill 13 [...]

Harshing my mellow

By Bill Devol
I was cruising along on a nice mellow…for me, I mean…Gail and I had a couple of hundred trick or treaters last Saturday, and we had fun passing out candy.
My new anti-depressant is working well with my old anti-depressant. Even when the citizens of Maine stripped a whole bunch of people of their [...]

Hank’s very bad day

This original short story is offered as a Halloween treat and not a trick.

“Shit,” Hank muttered and pushed [...]

Nasty Nuke Knuckleheads

By Bill Devol
Pakistan has nuclear weapons. I don’t think they need them, but no one ever asked me about it.
India has nuclear weapons. I don’t think Gandhi had that in mind when he practiced civil disobedience against British rule.

They had a Tea Party in my town

Porn made me what I am

By Bill Devol

Times were so tough that I had to use carbon paper and Archie comics to draw pictures [...]

Swamped again, but this looks interesting

By Bill Devol
Down in Kentucky they is hangin’ census workers.
Back on September 12, they found a 51-year-old, part-time census worker hanging from a tree in the Daniel Boone National Forest with the word “Fed” written on his chest.
Now, it is Kentucky, so they might have been trying to spell almost any word that began with [...]

Day Job Intrudes

My day job is kicking the crap out of me with some vicious deadlines. Since the job pays the bills and this blog strokes my ego, the job wins this week.
I would like to say that Jimmy Carter still rocks. Glenn Beck is still a penis breath motherf**ker. Rush Limbaugh needs a KKK hood. The [...]

What’s with that Wilson guy from South Carolina?

By Bill Devol
Whoa! What’s with that Joe Wilson guy yelling “Liar” or “You Lie” at the President on Wednesday night during Barack Obama’s address to a Joint Session of Congress on health care reform?

If “personal mandate” means President Obama is OK with making a law that requires me [...]
