Tuesday Open Thread


Howdy buckaroos! It's your ol' friend Slim Pickens coming to you from the way-out wacky west. It's Tuesday here, so you know what that means... that's right, it's time for another round of "Name that Rune"

Upcoming Revolution Flag and Anthem Contest

Ok, we need a new flag for the Revolution. This one ain't cutting it. Too divisive, too violent, too much of a dirty history, too Trump like, the other side can keep it. We'll create a new one. I'm not all that big on flags but apparently as humans we're hardwired to need them. We'll have to work with human nature accordingly.

How a group of neighbors created their own Internet service

I put this in a reply to another post but I thought it should get more exposure. These people fought back. People fight back every day. If the worst case scenario becomes reality, then we need to organize. Sometimes (most times now days) the government is not our answer. They only care about us at election time and April 15th when we replenish their piggy bank.

Armistice Day Rewind

Hat tip to Mike's Blog Roundup by Batocchio over at Crooks and Liars for a link to one of my old favorite sites, The Vagabond Scholar:

And Caesar's spirit, ranging for revenge,
With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice
Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war;
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial.
