And by “not entirely” I mean that there was such a person known as that, who lived in that part of Arkansas and came before the not-fictional Judge Parker’s court on a few occasions. At least, according to Brett Cogburn, who posits his great-grandfather as that man.
I feel like I’ve used this one before, but I also feel like I’m wrong. It’ looks nice, anyway. If I can get my Medium profile to embed in the sidebar, I’ll be in business. Meanwhile, in Twitchy-land, truth breaks out all over. Feminism. Say the right words, and all is forgiven.

Sitcom finale’s always disappoint. Always. They either go full maudlin and forget to be funny, or they work too hard to provide finality and so screw up the chemistry, or they don’t do anything at all (hi, Seinfeld!). This happens because sitcoms are built on the idea “these people, in this scene, are funny.” Ending… Read More Let the #HIMYM Fans Rage, Crack, Blow Thy Bellyful.
I see my friends getting all excited for the new season of Game of Thrones. It almost makes me wish for HBO. But as I’ve said before, I’ve read the books, and as I’ve said before, Martin has drawn heavily on the actual history of 15th-century England in creating his saga. Sure, most people with… Read More Game of Roses, or How George R.R. Martin Gave New Names to Historical Persons

I finally got the last two issues of Three today, and I am absorbing the boulder-to-the-face that is their finale. At the fifth issue, finality. That’s several pleasant layers of verisimilitude mixed with economy of storytelling. I’m saving it for next month’s post. Besides, I thought I might chime in on something that DC’s been doing that’s… Read More March Comic Book Post: Please Don’t Humanize the Comedian
I’ll take “Things I Had No Interest In Doing Until They Were Denied to Me” for $400, Alex. Another scientist at CERN, Steven Goldfarb, was more blunt and to the point. “It would burn right through you.” Barney explained that a much wider halo of radioactive subatomic particles, mostly electrons and muons, accompanies the “extremely”… Read More Don’t Stick Your Head in the Large Hadron Collider
David P. Goldman, whose magisterial good sense is to be found all over his “Spengler” column, analyzes secular progressivism as a post-Protestant religion, aimed less at promulgating sound public policy than at creating a means of saving America from its sins: Joseph Bottum, by contrast, examines post-Protestant secular religion with empathy, and contends that it… Read More Yes, Secularism is a Religion, and Here are its Witch Trials

Alright, everyone. I know we can’t agree on everything. Or most things. Or anything. I know this world is full of strife and contention, controversy and division. I get it. This is what it means to live on a mortal planet populated by the fallen hordes of sinful, prideful, vengeful beings.…
I’ve really blogged enough about this show, but as long as it keeps sending me hits, I’ll continue registering my notice of comic FAIL. Blackmailer’s Don’t Shoot finally threw in the towel this season. It’s a world of smug 20 and 30-somethings whose self-regard vastly outweighs their accomplishments. Watch it to see what a glimpse… Read More How I Met Your Mother: a Consideration of Character Decline
