    Tomorrow a PA church will open up a sports camp designed to sweat the gay away and Pottersville mainstay Cyril Blubberpuss weighs in (heavily) with a story out of his family’s past. (And yes, I did send off the letter to the church.)

    For purely bullshit reasons, I’m being investigated by Dubai law enforcement, with our government sure to follow, so if I disappear suddenly, this is the explanation why.

    It sure would suck getting evicted, especially at this time of year. But Mrs. JP and I have our backs against the wall.

    jurassicpork commented on the blog post Late Night: No one asked me but…

    2013-02-16 21:17:05View | Delete

    Outrage fatigue is probably what is sinking me a blogger. Last night, one of my readers sent me two news items. One is Facebook getting a $429 million tax rebate, courtesy of you and me and a loophole in the stock options laws. The other was news of the DoD creating a new medal for people who remote pilot predator drones. I just stared at these items, gobsmacked. I didn’t know how to respond to them. A couple of years ago, they would’ve found themselves in an Assclowns of the Week. This time around, I’m like, “Meh.”

    That sounds like outrage fatigue and maybe blog readers have it, too. Or maybe my dwindling hits is a result of their fatigue of me. I’ve been doing this shit for over 8 years now. Maybe the world just wants to forget I ever existed. It sure acts as if it wants to move on without me. Or maybe people are tired of my problems. Who can blame them? But I still have to keep the lights on and a roof over our heads, especially in the winter.

    That’s why I hate having to ask for help every couple of months. D r i f t g l a s s says, “Pay the effin’ writer” but I try to be more diplomatic about it.

    Sure, spring is coming… except if you live in central Massachusetts. It’s snowing again just a week after we got a blizzard that dumped 2 1/2 feet of snow on us.

    Mrs. JP and I are screwed and not in a cigarette-smoking-while-looking-at-the-ceiling good way, either.

    It’s more or less my 8th anniversary and all I got was disillusionment.

    Somehow, you just know all the games of chance would involve guns.

    Well, the ransom demands have been met, the crisis averted and we’re a family again. Now what?

    My Fiscal Cliff Notes on last night’s Senate vote. Even those of us who’ve been critical of the president have to give him and Biden some props on their back room dick-twisting.

    Let’s extend NRA logic: If we give everyone more beer before they get behind the wheel, then Mike Crapo won’t stand out so much when he runs red lights.

    Having said that, please help a liberal blogger stave off eviction the week after Xmas.

    2012-12-13 21:54:33View | Delete

    Poor people like me can’t afford to be stupid and frivolous with what little money we have. We’re economic engines who are basically coerced into putting it right back into the economy or else.

    I’ll be spending the holidays alone this year. Oh, yeah, and I stand a very real chance of getting evicted a week after Christmas and being unable to bring my fiancee home. Welcome to my world. Any donations to Pottersville will not spent on dancing girls and cocaine.

    Family can be a blessing during the holidays. They can also be the bane of your existence, as this Christmas is proving.
