Dispatches from The Borderlands: Horatio, We Hardly Knew You!
http://dispatchesfromtheborderlands.blogspot.com/2008/03/horatio-we-hardly-knew-you.html
Dispatches from The Borderlands. We have seen more than we remember, and we remember more than we have seen. Sunday, March 23, 2008. Horatio, We Hardly Knew You! But, in all of what appears to be the random ravings and just plain I-want-to-be-heard-and-belong, we find real people. Real people who hope, and dream, and cry. Good men and women I now care about, even if I’ve never met their fleshy selves. And as this online Isle of Misfit Toys becomes part of the backdrop of my life, I wonder what would driv...

Dispatches from The Borderlands: Just because you're not paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
http://dispatchesfromtheborderlands.blogspot.com/2008/03/youll-have-to-pry-open-those-cold-dead.html
Dispatches from The Borderlands. We have seen more than we remember, and we remember more than we have seen. Monday, March 31, 2008. Just because you're not paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you. Ironically, birds of this feather flock together. And you better believe it when I say this place has got somewhat of a bit of a reputation. But, the ethos is one of ‘live and let live’. Or, at least, ‘leave us the heck alone’. The attraction is a heady mix of solitude and. I’m somewhat convinc...

Dispatches from The Borderlands. We have seen more than we remember, and we remember more than we have seen. Sunday, March 9, 2008. Who needs angels when you have geosynchronous satellites? At a time when the world seems to be spinnin' hopelessly out of control,. There's deceivers an' believers an' old in-betweeners,. That seem to have no place to go. Willie Nelson, "Hands on the Wheel". Over 10,000 people are crammed on a bridge, trying to escape into the neighboring nation of Cameroon. The black do...

Dispatches from The Borderlands: A brush with greatness
http://dispatchesfromtheborderlands.blogspot.com/2008/04/brush-with-greatness.html
Dispatches from The Borderlands. We have seen more than we remember, and we remember more than we have seen. Sunday, April 6, 2008. A brush with greatness. As tall as he looks on TV. His smile is broad and genuine. And, he really does have the knack of truly connecting to the ‘little guy.’. Yes, I got to shake Barack Obama’s hand and meet the guy unmediated, unmonitored, and entirely without spin. He’s the real deal. This country could be so lucky. It was all so sudden, so undramatic, and so ordinary....

Dispatches from The Borderlands: Life Advice from Bronco Billy: Avoid the Triangle of Suck
http://dispatchesfromtheborderlands.blogspot.com/2008/05/life-advice-from-bronco-billy-avoid.html
Dispatches from The Borderlands. We have seen more than we remember, and we remember more than we have seen. Tuesday, May 6, 2008. Life Advice from Bronco Billy: Avoid the Triangle of Suck. I was talking to a co-worker today, and I said, "I have my performance review next week. What do you think is the maximum number of times it would be acceptable for me to say the words 'fuck' and 'bullshit? I'm not sure," she said, "But it's probably not very high.". Damn it all. Damn everything but the circus. Now, I...

Dispatches from The Borderlands. We have seen more than we remember, and we remember more than we have seen. Wednesday, April 30, 2008. She came from inner space . I’m a city kid, born into the busy streets and lively times of a big city. There’s always something going on in a city. There’s always something to see. I guess it is to be expected when you cram so many people into one seething, confronting place. The people scream to be heard, demand to be seen. Do they tell them that they made it last night?

Dispatches from The Borderlands: Beware the Vile Red State Temptresses of the Blue State District
http://dispatchesfromtheborderlands.blogspot.com/2008/01/beware-vile-red-state-temptresses-of.html
Dispatches from The Borderlands. We have seen more than we remember, and we remember more than we have seen. Monday, January 14, 2008. Beware the Vile Red State Temptresses of the Blue State District. Well, it may have been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon, but it's been downright comatose around this blog. I was expectin' more whoopin' and hollerin' and shootin' guns in the air, and instead we end up turning this damn thing into "Iron John" online and then forget about it altogether. Is going on here? Shoul...

Dispatches from The Borderlands. We have seen more than we remember, and we remember more than we have seen. Sunday, April 6, 2008. Politicians, politicians everywhere and not a hand to shake.". I logged in tonight to do a post 'cuz I'd been, uh, not quite matching Zed's recent surge in output, and lo and behold right before I sit down to write a breezy little piece, I see that he got face time with Obama in a bar way out west.

Dispatches from The Borderlands. We have seen more than we remember, and we remember more than we have seen. Thursday, March 6, 2008. The WSJ loves Zed . See, I have a confession. I read the Wall Street Journal, and I like it. Maybe I'm beginning the inevitable slide into age-appropriate conservatism. Say it ain't so, Huck! But, dang, its become a great newspaper. Predictable, it is not. Entertaining, certainly 'tis that. Challenging and confronting, check. And, opinonated! Most popular articles on WSJ&#...
