I do NOT believe in cryptocurrency. As far as I’m concerned, if cryptocurrencies are not backed by the United States government – i.e., I could go to the local bank and convert Bitcoin into dollars and verse vica – then it’s no more financially solvent than the paper money in a Monopoly game. That being…

“Hey, you can’t use a presidential pardon! Only I can use the presidential pardon!!”
Let’s get a few things straight right off the bat. Hunter Biden was guilty of tax evasion and weapons charges. Those facts do not change. These are federal crimes. And last night, President Joe Biden – Hunter’s father – issued a presidential pardon on Hunter’s behalf. And Republicans are losing their minds over it. All…
Read More“And what do YOU want for Christmas, little boy?”
I’m less than a week away from my 2024 CPKC Holiday Train chase. I’ve narrowed down my camera gear to the essentials – one digital (my Nikon Df) and three film (my Nikon F2S “Nikon Athena,” my medium-format Rolleiflex Automat MX, and my Krasnogorsk FT-2 super-ultra-wide “Raskolnikov”). I’ve checked out locations for shooting spots and…
Read MoreThat’s what I get for trusting the Rollei SL26 :(
Okay. I’ve already short-tested my new-to-me Rollei SL26 film camera – it’s an advanced camera that uses 126 “Instamatic” film. You know, the film that hasn’t been manufactured in over 25 years. So I wanted to try something with this film and with this camera. And for testing purposes, I’m going back to the Sacandaga…
Read MoreEdward Everett Hale might have some thoughts on this.
How would you like to escape the United States for up to four years? There’s actually an option. It will only cost you $200,000. According to this news article, a cruise line is offering travelers a year-long – or four-year-long, if you know what I mean – trip away from the United States. You would…
Read MoreHey, who wants to see a live castration on camera?
You gotta hand it to the Trump MAGA trolls. They go on social media and blather on about how wonderful their orange goblin leader will be for the country, and they’re not above – or below – pontificating with bold predictions. Now of all the usual “Trump MAGA trolls” out there that I could feature…
Read MoreRyan Girdusky FAFO’d last night.
Let’s get one thing straight. Medhi Hasan is an incredibly brilliant and well-thought commentator. You may not agree with his arguments all the time, but you can agree that he has thoroughly researched every point of his argument and can defend every single one of his statements. Let’s get one more thing straight. Ryan Girdusky…
Read MoreThe Mark Robinson “minisoldr” revelation that NO ONE has discovered yet.
By now you’ve read the newspapers and discovered that North Carolina’s firebrand Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, who is currently campaigning for North Carolina’s governorship, is – shall we say – going through a few things. CNN has reported that the controversial politician, who has espoused the return of slavery and the criminalization of transgender people,…
Read MoreWhy I’m skipping the Durham Fair this year (again)
Normally, my Competition Season consists of five different state and county fairs and collectives, beginning with the Iowa State Fair, following with the local Altamont and New York State Fairs, and finishing with the Big E and the Durham Fair. Last year, I skipped the Durham Fair due to situations beyond my control. And this…
Read MoreCelebrity Deathmatch: Marjorie Taylor Greene v. Laura Loomer
I have no respect for MAGA troll Laura Loomer. This (takes a deep breath to choose words carefully) woman is psychotic. I also have no respect for knuckle-dragging Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. Trust me. Go through my blogging history. So when Laura Loomer was one of the Trump sycophants who accompanied Trump to his…
