New Week, New Editing

We had a bout of cold weather this weekend, but the temp's gonna be in the 50's all week. We think we may lose the winter beard. We're guessing we won't get another snowstorm. Our snowblower gas tank is full. We'll run it just to burn through the gas and piss off some environmentalists. This blog has always believed in maximizing its carbon footprint.

Why did 74 people from Kenya visit this blog last night? Are we seeing a sudden spike in popularity in Africa? Are those Nightingale Russia pussies just using a VPN? [Again with Nightingale Russia?-Ed] Speaking of Russia, we heard from our KGB handler, and frankly, he sounds a bit down. We would be down too if we'd been personally sanctioned by the United States government. In all seriousness, and the previous sentence was serious, but in all seriousness, he really didn't think there'd be a war.

Maybe it's just us, but is Russia's War of liberation in Ukraine already becoming part of the background news? [War of liberation? You just have to push buttons, don't you?-Ed] I do, I really do. Here's what we mean. Back in the 80's every night on the news there'd be an update on the Lebanese Civil War. Same for the Jugoslav civil war in the 90's. Thirty seconds, maybe a minute on the nightly news, and then on to the latest 'women's health' story. 

What Will's Watching, Bill Maher on The Sunday Special: Ben Shapiro and Bill Maher have a long conversation about politics, Trump, voting, the environment, etc. The point of the conversation was for two men who disagree on many, many things to have a civil conversation. As always Maher makes great points. If one went for a beer with Bill Maher, he'd probably want to talk about anything other than politics. Which is one of the reasons we like him. Also, Maher is a free speech absolutist. 

Okay...back to work on The Weser this week. We'll finish Part II: The British and Part III: The Confederates. We're achieving great things, but must needs watchout for over editing. That is, once more, don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. As the Federation president said in Star Trek VI, 'Just because we can do a thing does not mean we must do that thing,' or some such.

Monday [not] Metal: Hmmm...Alanis Morrisette is touring with Garbage. You don't get more mid-90s than that, not outside of laboratory conditions. Ah, Alanis Morissette, Gen-X's psycho ex-girlfriend. Man...if you heard the girls listening to Alanis in the dorms you just stopped and slowly backed away. We saw Alanis in 95 with a cute 18 year old who's upstairs right now.  Anyway, Garbade:
