I'm sorry but "Peter Magyar" sounds like the one Hungarian kid at hogwarts. Not a real person. Sorry. Might as well vote for Janos Goulash. Laszlo Paprika. Jozsef Budapest. ...
Three (OK, four, but I'm deferring one for its own post) illusions that have been killed off for good by the disastrous Iran debacle, and musings on society as a gray market casino where cheating is encouraged because the bettors are only ripping one another off.
If you've been on the fence about subscribing, this is a good one to take the plunge on. It's all of $2, half the cost of a PBR. ...
Even if the strait reopened, which it hasn't, and the war ended, which it hasn't, there's a backlog of 1000+ ships waiting to get through Hormuz, major damage to oil and gas infrastructure, and a supply chain disruption (especially for fertilizer) that will take months to unravel in the best case scenario.
Today's big "market rally" was just hopium, poor reading comprehension, and shorts covering in a trench coat. It won't last the week. ...
We won’t really feel the satisfaction of a complete narrative arc until we see tomorrow morning’s inevitable story about a new Polymarket account called “whitepwr_wifeleftme69” who signed up at 4 PM today and made $6 million ...
Chat, what happens when the boy who cries wolf is also the wolf ...

Have a wonderful time with your family, and thank you for the many tears of laughter throughout the year.

@Da Moose
And you complain when someone calls you a socialist, but you call YRs nazis.
Merry Christmas Commie

"daily"?! more like hourly, unless work gets slow, in which case I might just sit there mindlessly hitting the 'refresh' button until I fall asleep.
Have fun with family; somehow the annual Orgy of the Presents (when the air is sometimes completely filled by the fountains of shredding wrapping paper) is more fun when small children are involved. My favorite present is still the time I gave a wad of wrapping paper wrapped up in something like 10 layers of wrapping paper. It was kind of a Christmas version of "turtles all the way down, Sonny!", and it was warmly received. The recipient also still remembers it, and I pay for it every Christmas. But it was worth it.
See you next year!

More like hourly.
(Unless someone were to give me a free pizza, in which case I might skip a check-in.)
Hazy Davy says:
1) I should have hit refresh, before posting, so I could have seen JohnR's comment.
2) DaMoose's link is weird. The majority of those Nazi's are brunettes.
Da Moose says:
BB, loving it baby. I'd rather be a commie than a corporate fascist. At least my neighbors would like me. In any case, have a Happy Generic and Neutral Holiday Time That May or May Not be Religious in Nature (not that there's anything wrong with that if it were) Celebration.
ladiesbane says:
Yesterday's piece still has me busy, so this works out really well.
Hobbes says:
I'm with Davy and JohnR, at least now that classes are over for the semester. Hourly at LEAST.
For the holiday season you might want to consider upgrading to gin and cookies. Or replacing the gin with nog. Mmm, nog and tacos…

Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Happy Holiday to you and yours. And, thanks for all the great posts throughout the year!

I sure do. Merry Christmas.

What chautauqua said. Not to be too cute about it.

Haven't any of you ever heard of RSS? Saves on the manual refreshing.
Greg says:
Thanks for writing the blog, Ed. This and pensionplanpuppets.com are the first sites I go to every morning: one for radical liberal rants, the other for analysis of my
favorite crappy hockey team.
Hobbes says:
@Ike – RSS lacks the awesome Communist background for the terrifying of coworkers.
