Some days, like a pet before an earthquake, you just wake up with the sense that something bad is about to happen.

I don’t know what this signifies, but my feeling is that it will culminate in a large battle involving red skies and keg after keg of holy water.

This instructional video for how to take apart your Showbiz Pizza Place is strangely fascinating and horrifying in the same way it would have been when you were eight years old. We all loved our Showbiz/Chuck E. Cheese’s, but those singing, whirring bastards were more than a little creepy; they only sang to calm you […]

No longer timely, but I want to go on record:
You know how department stores and marketers supposedly try to trot Christmas out earlier and earlier every year? Every year, one of your older relatives will come home from a trip to Crate and Freaking Barrel (to buy the Trading Spaces Home Collection’s Automatic S’more Maker Cleaner […]

What’s wrong with your parents

My previous post filled the site with horror and self-loathing, sending it on a weekend-long bender.
Funnily enough (in that way where it’s funny when an old woman falls down the stairs) my site and I felt more or less the same this weekend.
One of the lynchpins of marriage is that there is always somebody watching […]

I’m bringing sexy back.

John McCain has launched an “exploratory committee,” meaning his 2008 presidential run is official. I’m not entirely sure who’s on these committees or what they do; ask around? Check the local New Hampshire papers’ Calendar sections for pancake breakfast announcements?
I have to admit this alarms me, because I have publicly declared that if the ‘08 […]

  
RUMSFELD GONE; Jimski’s Phone Tapped by Genie; Rush Limbaugh Feeling Ill?

In Iraq, there used to be a small, corrupt group of people who had national power in a chokehold for a long time. They had all the money and influence and connections and made life a lot harder than it had to be for the people who didn’t. Then, a few years ago, the balance […]

Say what you want about this election; if you have political aspirations, you can do a lot worse than being named Sheldon Whitehouse.
Yeah, I know. “Sheldon.” But the Whitehouse more than makes up for it. All night long, my wife and I have been doing the shtick.
“President Whitehouse!”
“Yes, Professor Bighead.”
“Mrs. Sippi just came back with […]

On this pulse-pounding election day– which has reminded me a lot of punch-happy pulp fiction for a while now– Dave Campbell of Dave’s Long Box gives you a brilliant rundown of how your favorite superhero probably votes. I would both like to shake his hand for thinking of this and slap the taste out of […]

Saddam Hussein was found guilty on Sunday, and today he’s right back in court on a whole new set of charges. This time, though, with that death sentence on his head, he’s really got nothing to lose. I wouldn’t be surprised if he acted out a little this time.
What he doesn’t know is, if I […]

I wonder: if I could indeed draw, would it occur to me to draw this?

Oh, of course it would.

I always liked Peter Porker. You know, the Spectacular Spider-Ham?
 

And it’s Saddam Hussein Verdict Day, to boot. “Remember, remember the fifth of November,” whatever remaining Iraqis there are might one day say.

Very important programming note: 
As someone who is interested in emerging technology, I have long been fascinated by Law & Order, which years ago replaced all of its human writers with an advanced piece of software that scans Google News, automatically fictionalizes all the proper nouns in the biggest story, and inserts a murder and Sam […]

Oh, hell.
I said I was going to do one this year, too. So now I have to.
F@%#.
It probably would have been a good idea to give a moment’s thought to a premise, main character, or setting before today. At the very least, it would be a good idea to do that before this evening.
I wonder […]

Wow, John Kerry is inept at making wisecracks. How long has this been going on?
Kerry really needs to get it together and get a campaign manager who can keep him on message; we’re in November, for crying out loud. At this rate, he’s gonna blow any chance he has of getting elected.
What’s that?
He’s not?
Two years ago, you […]
