Leading to:

I might watch the State of the Union address this Tuesday. I’ve rarely done that since Nixon.

investigative journalist robert parry died saturday

Posted on January 28, 2018 by | Leave a comment

Born June 24, 1949 – died January 27, 2018.

I admired him greatly. He is one of the great ones. Since 1995, his website has been an Internet beacon.

From an e-mail I got from the site today:

Robert Parry, editor and publisher of Consortiumnews.com, died peacefully Saturday evening. In this tribute, his son Nat Parry describes Robert’s unwavering commitment to independent journalism.

head like a hole.
black as your soul.
I’d rather die, than give you control.

bow down before the one you serve.
you’re going to get what you deserve.

Don’t try licking my face after gobbling rabbit turds in the yard. Give it a respectable amount of time.

JJ enjoys a sleepy sunbath after his guilty little snack. He knows.

double espacio – to do or not

Posted on January 24, 2018 by | 2 comments

Chatting with a friend this morning, I popped this one out.

Serious hard-core important question. Do you double space after periods and colons? I do, though I might stop and cannot make the decision on my own. It’s from those days of running an IBM Selectric.

My friend said:

Double spacing is correct keyboarding, but I’ve long stopped doing it. If I were submitting something for publication, I’d probably double space.

I liked the answer. Double spacing burns though the occasional character limitation I encounter. Then we discussed a love for the Oxford comma. I don’t know JackSh about grammar or punctuation, but I still like to play.
