Down in ‘Murrica’s DownUnder (oh, Florida) a parentless, jobless, spouseless 16-year-old girl who was mature enough to petition the court for an abortion was denied permission to get one because she wasn’t sufficiently mature to make the decision to terminate her pregnancy. Making her a mom seems to be the right call. The wizened court …

Born Debtor
Just recently theKid told me I smelled “sus.” I have no idea what that means. That’s not entirely true … word comprehension is important, and “sus” is modern-speak for “suspicious” … as in Among Us “sus.” See, I’m hip. I’m down. I’m funky. Extremely so, apparently (heh). Anyhoo theKid’s comment provoked a thought … about …
21st Century Chattel
Whelp wouhja lookidat. Effective June 24, 2022, American persons with child-bearing ability are thus denied federal constitutional protection, being wholly subject to states’ rights. Hunht. Well, like I said, not particularly surprising with a Catholic, two sex predators, and a Stepford Wife cosigning the decision. I/me/we will agree, though, that Roe was decided on the …
Madonna and Whores
A young woman recently went kinda viral (ew) because she resented her life choices. Ohoowuuh. Newsflash. Apparently, she is 22 YO, the wife of a pastor, married virgin at 18, now with three kids — 3, 2, and 10 months — and another on the way. Basically was always a “good girl,” betrothed as a …
Post Doc in Debt
May have (or may be not have) mentioned somewheres around these parts that theKid is a straight A student. As in, all A’s. As in, nothing less than an A. As in, no B’s, C’s, D’s or heaven forfend! F’s. A big part of that (I believe) is that a child will meet the parents’ …
Women: Can’t Live With ‘Em, Can’t Bury ‘Em Out Back
Might be a little late to this (surprisenot) but one of the favorite people I didn’t know died recently, reportedly of a massive heart attack, perhaps even in flagrante delicto … globulos exposite, as it (maybe) were. The really offensive yet wholly unsurprising aspect of his death was the reaction of so many of the …

Closing Time
“Woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck …” {Matt. 24:19; Mark 13:17; Luke 21:23} Need more proof these are the last days? How’s that formula shortage? Anyone? Anyone? Baby starving because Mom didn’t/can’t breastfeed, and now the artificial stuff is in short supply? Wow. I mean, wah-ha-ha-ow. Back in …
Money is Mechanics
Had a “no spend” month in April … went quite well, actually. God’s rule of “Don’t spend; if do, spend wisely” works for my/household expenses, but theKid is a whole ‘nother ball of expenditure. theKid needs “stuff,” and some of that stuff isn’t exactly a need but rather a little slice of joy in the …
But … isn’t that … Insulting the Spade?
May have mentioned somewhere around these parts some personal admiration for MGTOW … Now there’s a good idea too long coming. All men really need is a cook, a maid, and a regular … the purpose of marriage is to protect women and punish men who choose not I di-gress anyway, read something recently about …

Got ‘Er Duhn, or more commonly WHERE’S MY SEX ROBOT
Whelp, looks like the Trumpiots finally got (in?) their way. Generally unsurprising, what with two (count ‘em – two) alleged sexual predators with lifetime appointments sitting on the bench. Can’t say one is even mildly surprised. What with the staggering hypocrisy of the so-called conservatives (here’s looking at you, Mitchy!) and the strident befuddlement of …
