The Bombastic Blog Boomatatus

Search for Ithaka has been going like gangbusters and we confess we don't even know what gangbusters are ... but we don't care either.  It means 'a lot' or 'faster' or something.  Maybe it's like Texas when you see a sign which proclaims 'nachos as big as your ass.'  (No, not you Kardashian)


Thanks, Pink, for this ongoing effort to help people understand Texans.  Kardashian can't come here but do you seriously think Texas wants her.


The beloved abrasiveness is, as the regulars know, feigned for comic effect but the Facebookers are way, way too mainstream to figure it out so it's not likely them running up the hit count lately.  Mostly they just watch "Dancing with the Stars" in the hope Clinton will show up to do her famous Rumba in a Blue Dress.


Speaking of 'as big as your ass,' the political situation looked much like a beached whale with this Tim Kaine.  He looks like he will be the life of the party ... at state funerals.  It also looks like Hilly got herself a yes man and ain't that brave.  Trumpie just got himself a face man as well so there are medals for political valor being handed out all over the place.

The worst isn't over yet, tho.  If Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren speaks for Clinton then you know the comet will hit the Earth soon.  Do find a good seat for that.


We will skip the convention just as we did with the RNC as there hasn't been a reason to monitor any of this for quite a while and instead there was "The Patriot" in the queue today.  Mel Gibson so supremely kicks ass with these flag-waver movies and this one was just as bloody as "Braveheart" but Gibson got soft in this one and didn't kill off our hero at the end of the story.

As a champion of the idea men serve no purpose except for lawn maintenance and killing things, Mel Gibson has been the world's leader but there's substance behind fighting the good fight, even when it's masculinity in a simplistic unidimensional Gibsonian way.

(Ed:  he let loose a few tears!)

Hogwash!  He screwed up his face like he was Charles Bronson trying to be emotional but a lump of basalt can do that.  There were zero tears and, when he can't even drop a tear after the Redcoats kill his boy, he's going to be one complete drag in a chick movie.

Who's going to lie about an important thing like that! Only in Texas!
