One Reason Obama Will Win a Second Term

February 29, 2012

I put off blogging about this when it was news a month ago because I’m so ashamed that I’m writing about politics. There’s nothing wrong with writing about politics. But I just wish I were funny enough to write a humor blog from scratch. I’m not. I need the politicians to be funny for me. [...]

Help! Help! I’m Being Repressed!

February 1, 2012

As a Roman Catholic, I am mortally offended that my Blue Cross policy covers breast reconstruction in the event that Jesus takes one or both of my breasts with cancer. This sexist, over-reaching policy is repressive to my religious belief that my breasts are naughty. The next president had better stop this assault on my [...]

Body Piercing and Marriage

December 7, 2011

I know a kung fu teacher in Lawrence, Kansas who wears a gold ear pendant so long that it drags his shoulder. He’s a national champion in full-contact kickboxing, so I don’t give him any shit about it. But I still think Tessa is tougher than he is. He’s the black guy in the video [...]

Not Enough Cuss Words

November 13, 2011

Words can not express my rage when the green stuff comes up in the suction hose. I change the three-month furnace filter every two months. I sterilize the tracheotomy tube every fucking day. I slather 60% alcohol lotion on my hands when I handle the respiratory equipment. Yet she is sick again. The second time [...]

Reading on the Crapper

October 26, 2011

I know the experts tell us that reading on the crapper is bad for us. Spreads dysentery, causes hemorrhoids, probably brain cancer, too, now that cell phones have been vindicated. Again. Click here to download a free audio recording of this post. But I do my best reading on the porcelain tractor. It’s the only [...]

May Cause Abnormal Dreams

October 16, 2011

Three days ago, I heard a television ad disclaimer for Enbrel, or something. Doesn’t matter which it was. Just one of those products that sound like the engineers flunked spelling. The disclaimer said that their medication could cause “abnormal dreams.” Right then, I knew it was time to go through my dream archives and sort [...]

Pardon Me While I Gross You Out

September 18, 2011

This won’t take long, I promise. My doctor has me doing one of those fecal occult blood tests to see whether I have butt cancer. Go ahead and stop reading this and go read Angie Uncovered. Still here? Okay. You all know the ones– the ones where you have to spread your butt butter on [...]
