SilverAppleQueen remembers that terrible day. Dave Barry departs from satire, reprising his thoughts in 2002, just before the first anniversary of the attacks. He considers his walk on hallowed ground. Wisconsin conservative James Wigderson was on his way to work on first hearing of a plane hitting a building. Then at work: Soon we had…

Each time President Trump tells us what he saw and did on the day of the attacks, his actions in the aftermath become even more courageous. Post rescued after Russian cyber attack on original website – Fair and Unbalanced. Republished from 9/15/2019: [Please note: The following does not include Trump’s latest revelations of his selfless, heroic exploits…

Hey! I have a pretty good excuse! I ran out of time. Time this week has been largely devoted to an intensifying schedule of physical therapy exercises. But that’s not all, folks. An amazing amount of additional time has been taken by what I had imagined would be a minor insurance correction. A recent change…

This does pretty much summarize Trump Tariff economics: Still, we weather the storm, seeking wisdom from the usual suspects. Max’s Dad remembers Dolly for her skill at being an authentic human. He remembers part of the amazing amount of good she accomplished. Christ, Dolly funded the Covid vaccine, she funded libraries and free books for…

Backup plans can save us: We look to internet wisdom from our usual suspects: Author and educator Amanda Nelson gloats (just a little) over primary results: Michael J Scott suggests that the damage done by Trump will last, not because he is a mastermind, but precisely because his brain is empty of ideas. He isn’t…

I like this more than the America’s Funniest Home Injuries segments I occasionally come across: We also have smooth wisdom from our usual internet suspects: Dave Columbo begins Trump Week with Trump playing dress up in military clothing. Dave continues with RFK Jr giving medical advice and ends with Todd Blanche actually supporting police officers:…

[Personal update] Health improvement remains discouragingly slow but steady. Therapy continues. I have neckties older than my physical therapist but, since she is more mature, I pretty much have to listen. And she is reassuring about my progress, so there is that. Exercises at home and medical appointments take time and attention. Sleep continues to…

[Note]: Health is improving, albeit more slowly than expected. Two appointments next week and a host of time‑consuming but necessary exercises. I’m doing my best to keep up blogging, but the only guarantee is I’ll keep trying. Suggestion made to one of my doctors: Even though there were complications this time, for this surgical procedure…

So Ken Paxton, campaigning on his manliness, panics during his own press conference and runs away from questions about all the properties he managed to acquire on his public salary. [image or embed] — burrland01.bsky.social (@burrland01.bsky.social) July 22, 2026 at 10:14 AM

Three medical consultations last week, three this week. One each week was for postoperative physical therapy. One this week was unrelated to last month’s surgery. One remaining tomorrow is with a cardiologist to review a possible heart condition discovered during the longer than expected hospital stay. Continuous fatigue has my sleeping schedule in a blender.…
