Sorry. Had to be said. After all, it’s Blasphemy Day International. (Wikipedia) In fairness, I feel the same way about Christianity. About all religion, actually, but also about superstition, and even about the donkey-ball-sucking broadcasters who pour out all this recent ghost-hunter swill on TV. If cigarettes damage your health, and now require warning labels, [...]

Whoring Out Your Head – Part 4
September 30th, 2011 
Hank Fox And the payment isn’t just the money, it’s all the mind-stuff and mind-time you give to it. In timeshare terms, the Lottery lives in your head in all that time you spend dreaming about what you’ll do with the money. The time you spend deciding which tickets to buy, and then buying them, scratching them, [...]
Whoring Out Your Head – Part 3
September 30th, 2011 Hank Fox And it’s not just Subway, is it? If you’re like a lot of us, you “sell” some of your mind-time to … lottery tickets. TV. Advertising jingles. Song lyrics. Politicians. Talking heads on Fox News. Preachers. In each case, you let them into your head. And there’s a little bit less mind-stuff, mind-time, in which [...]
Whoring Out Your Head – Part 2
September 29th, 2011 Hank Fox Now picture this: It’s not a timeshare cabin, but your own mind. What more essential thing could there be to being you? Your mind is where you do everything that makes you you. Your mind IS you. It’s all of you there is. It’s the part that feels and thinks and learns. In the timeshare [...]
Whoring Out Your Head – Part 1
September 29th, 2011 Hank Fox I have never in my life bought a Lottery ticket. And I never will. Oh, I’ve had a few of them given to me, so I have to say I’ve owned a couple. But every time I’ve given them to someone else rather than scratch them. I also never use coupons or special deals when [...]
Signs in the Heavens!
September 28th, 2011 Hank Fox This was just a weirdly cool weather map from today, Sept. 28. Rain in almost every eastern state. Not all one storm pattern, but multiple storms scattered around like spilled popcorn.
Elizabeth Warren Nails It
September 28th, 2011 Hank Fox Apparently this is a week or so old, but I missed it when it first came down the tubes. Elizabeth Warren, candidate for one of Massachusetts’ U.S. Senate seats, the one currently held by Scott Brown, recently said something fantastic: I hear all this, oh this is class warfare — No! There is nobody in [...]
Save Me, Sweet Baby Jesus, from Moving!
September 28th, 2011 Hank Fox If you ever really want to curse someone, “May you have to move” would be a good one. I’m moving from my little wild paradise, where I get to see things like this … gray foxes red foxes whitetail deer wild turkeys raccoons and even this and this and this … all photographed right in [...]
Cop Story
September 26th, 2011 Hank Fox The body lay sprawled under the high school bleachers on a Sunday morning. Time of death, roughly midnight. A teenaged boy. Just some idiot kid. Cause of death? The coroner would have to do some tests, but I was pretty sure I already knew. I could see ashes on his upper lip, and around his [...]
The Enemy
September 26th, 2011 Hank Fox Do you know the really great thing about being a sociopath? The really great thing is that you can knock down a 6-year-old and take his ice cream. And then you have ice cream! Man, what could be better than that? Free ice cream! Wow! Oh, uh … you think there’s something wrong with that? [...]
