Not Much Of A Point To This One, So I'm Not bothering With A Clever Title
The question tonight is, "Why is nothing working?" And the answer is, "The Vast Right Wing that is conspiring against me is working overtime." No joke. A contributing cause may be the fact that it's Monday and our entire civilization is crumbling before our very eyes at an ever accelerating pace but it's mostly The Vast Right Wing.

And they are laying it on thick this evening. Probably because the Democratic Convention is starting tonight. Forget the fact that the Vast Right Wing is really on the same side as The Vast Left Wing because that doesn't matter to them. They want the really dark side of the force to win over the slightly less dark side and they are sore losers.

Then there's this story tonight:

The Sasquatch Sequel

Bigfoot hunters are still reeling from the latest hoax, but some scientists keep the faith.

These are hard times for Bigfoot believers, a human subspecies that includes a fairly hairy collection of fantasists, charlatans, grifters and fools. But there is also a small coterie of serious scientists interested in the possibility—as they see it, the likelihood—that somewhere in the deep woods of North America enormous ape-men really are alive and well and just barely eluding detection.

Jeff Meldrum, a Ph.D. anthropologist at Idaho State University, is one of those researchers. An apostle of what he calls "the behind the scenes, quiet march of serious science," Meldrum has been investigating the possible existence of the creature called Sasquatch or Bigfoot for the last 12 years. His 2006 book, "Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science" (Forge), offers the most thorough compilation and analysis of evidence to date, and was endorsed by primatologist Jane Goodall, famous for her work with chimpanzees, who is an adamant Bigfoot believer herself.

Stories like that really annoy them because they can't stand the fact that serious scientists are onto things like this. They don't care so much about Big Foot but if we get to the bottom of the Big Foot mystery, we'll sooner or later find out the truth about things like UFOs and 911.

And they can't have that. So they do things like make Myspace, Youtube and Gmail not work and then give me plumbing problems. Just an endless stream of distracting, time consuming and annoying problems that have to be dealt with. And they are laying it on thick tonight.

Oh, I should point out that the stuff I'm doing to my house is going more smoothly than I could ask for, but I'm asking for more, anyway, because that's just part of the charm that is me. The bathroom is nearly finished but there's a nagging plumbing problem that has to be fixed. Just a small and probably easily fixed leak in the basement but I don't want it and it's clearly the work of Republicans. Demons. Nazi's. Whatever label use for them.

And I know they have a job to do and everything but I wish they would move onto the next victim, already.
