Wow!
I can't believe it's been a year since I put my first post up here. A whole year. You see, this enterprise was originally at blogger.com. I started it in November '07, and it seemed to be going well, but there was some kind of glitch, where things went cyberly......Read More

Hash Browns
A very depressing day, yesterday. Since last year, the United States lost 2.7 million jobs. If this frickin' Ed Norton/Homer Simpson dingbat Congress lets the car industry die, which might very well happen, you're gonna see another THREE MILLION people, at the......Read More

I don't miss him hitting me...
I'm spending a nice, quiet Sunday afternoon at Dawn's house. Hey, just because she ain't waiting tables and counters at the Palmetto Diner anymore, it doesn't mean she's outta here, right? Just me and her. Debbie took the boys to the movies, and my wife's at......Read More

Shake Down
Here, in the Great State of New Jersey, one would think that, in the realm of Politics, everything would've been seen by now. Governor Jim McGreevey standing before a microphone, and defining his failed administration within the space of a few seconds as a tawdry Howard Stern sketch......Read More

I hate to say I told you so...but...
Boy, I'll bet you all feel like the complete, total, sorry fools that you are. You somehow thought that the Grand Old Pestilence had evolved over time, in order to better adapt to our changing world. You actually thought that, somehow, the Republican Party now actually......Read More

Neat Encapsulations
"You okay, sweetie?" Rochelle's asking me this question, because I've entered the diner tonight, walking like I have a two-by-four stuck up my anal cavity. I hurt my back on Friday. My lower back's killing me, my bills are killing me, life is generally......Read More

Not Flowers, but Shoes
A few thoughts on events that have occured recently: 1) Joe the Plumber, in an earnest effort to extend his fifteen minutes of notoriety, bashed Senator John McCain, and referred to his own campaign experience as "appalling" and "dirty". Wow. Look,......Read More

Brenda's hungry every day...
"Hey, Trouble!" "Hi, Tara." "What'll you have?" "Start me off with coffee?" Just as I'm very carefully making myself comfortable on the stool (my back problems have blossomed into a very nice case of sciatica, wouldn't you know), Brenda Morabito......Read More

A Palmetto Christmas
Brenda and I walk into the diner together. To the side of the door, the Christmas tree stands. They put it out every year. The novelty of it is that pictures of the staff and their families adorn the tree, along with the cheap garlands and tinsel and......Read More

Liberal Hogwash (Part I)
