We're Outta Here!

Okay, the gradual transition took less time than I thought. Update your links. Our new home is at WordPress. I have successfully transferred all the archives (some of them I liked so much, I transferred them twice!) but I will maintain this site as a place-holder.

Movin' On Up

I am slowly but surely moving this blog over to WordPress, which is an overall better setup. For the time being, you can visit it here, but please excuse the mess. It will be awhile yet before I'm fully transferred over. Updates to follow.

Happy Independence Day!

I'll be out of town next week (and off the grid), so talk amongst yourselves. I'll give you a topic: Barack Obama is neither as liberal nor John McCain as moderate as the MSM would have you believe. Discuss!

Da-ni-s-da-yo-hi-hv!

Blogging will be on hold until after the first of the year. Have a wonderful Christmas and a blessed New Year!

Sorry! Sorry!

Been sick again. It was the same thing. Again. And yes, you still don't want to know. Trust me. Anyway, I'm feeling much better now. Sorry to disappoint all the tens of you who religiously read this blog.

Charlie Wilson's War

I can't wait to see this!

In Memoriam

Larry "Shawnese" Mitchell, Potawatomi poet and blogger and one of my good internet friends began his journey to live among his ancestors on November 16, 2007. I am fortunate for having known him, even for only a brief time, and poorer for his passing. do-na-da-ga-hv-i. Until we meet again.

Sorry About That, Folks.

Blogging has been non-existent lately because I've been sick. Way sick. Believe me, you don't want to know. Hopefully, recovery will come soon. That is all.

Our Ten Thousandth Customer!

Well, actually, technically the blog started in January of 2006 and presumably one or two people read it before I figured out how the counter works in June of 2006, but still! Thanks for reading.

Gold Star Families

Since my Memorial Day column was posted, I've noticed several hits on the site from people searching for names on the list. If you came here following the name of a loved one, first, please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss. Even though the column and this blog are occasionally irreverent, I am always mindful of the sacrifices made by those in uniform and I am eternally grateful for their service. After seeing all these hits, it occurred to me that merely listing name, rank and hometown is rather impersonal (though necessary due to space considerations). If you know someone on the list and would like to share something about them, just to help the rest of us know them a little better as human beings, please feel free to do so. Thank you.

Just So You Know...

...I am preparing for trial, so postings are likely to be light to non-existent through next week.

Tsisa Dulehisanv

Or, if you prefer to be more secular, tsuwetsi danisu tsunisawisdi!
In either event, have a blessed Easter.

Just So You Know...

The blogging forecast is sparse to non-existent for about the next two weeks as I am in trial. And no, I can't really blog about it right now. Further updates as events warrant. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Welcome Back Crooks & Liars!

I certainly wasn't expecting company on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Don't mind the mess; I've been running a fever all afternoon. Special thanks to Mike/Blue Gal for the sweet linky lovin's!

Welcome Daou-ists!

Have a look around! Make yourselves at home! There's cold beer in the fridge and plenty of venison and frybread to go around. Wa do.

Welcome Crooks & Liars!

Er, I mean, readers of Crooks & Liars, that is. C'mon in, have a look around. Grab yourself a beer from the fridge. We got plenty of fry bread and venison. Wa do.

P.S. That's not really me and I don't own a helicopter. Not yet, anyway.

Prepare the Standard "Rich and Famous" Contract...

Long-time visitors to this blog (both of you. Hi, mom!) will be pleased to know that I have today inked a contract to syndicate my newspaper column through CNHI (Community Newspaper Holdings, Inc.), the fine folks who own the Cleburne Times-Review. Yes, now readers from North Andover, Massachusetts to Americus, Georgia, to Ottumwa, Iowa can thrill to my smart-alecky commentary and lame jokes. Since it seems likely that the good people of Mankato, Minnesota aren't particularly interested in the fact that Rob Orr is a bootlicking sycophant devoid of the common sense God bestowed on the lowly grubworm, some weeks I will be writing two columns, one on local or Texas issues for the Times-Review and another on national or international events for the syndicate. Both, of course, will be uploaded here for your edification and amusement. All of you trolls here on the blog, please don't frighten the Midwesterners. And before y'all ask, no, they still aren't paying me anything. Further updates as events warrant.

Crankless

The Local Crank will be on vacation next week, so no updates for awhile and no column for March 12.

DUH!

Okay, like an idiot, I had the comments section set to require registration before you could post a comment. Forgive me; I'm new to the internets. I notice the number of hits nearly doubled in the last hour or so, so if you are really dying to give me a piece of your mind, you can now do so anonymously. Thank you and goodnight.
