Irregular rants
'Irregular rants' is a title that's doubly descriptive - irregular as in 'weird, peculiar, bloody odd' (but not eldritch), and irregular as in 'probably infrequent'. The subject matter is nothing more than eclectic - basically whatever happens to scurry out of the brain and into the keyboard.

I think Mr. Nixon is an effective leader of his party. I hope he would grant me the same. The question before us is: which point of view and which party do we want to lead the United States? - John Kennedy, The First Kennedy-Nixon Presidential Debate, September 26, 1960

The article ends with this quote: "'If we take care of morality,' bill supporter David Brumbaugh, a Republican, said during deliberations, 'God will take care of the economy.'"
It's idiots like this that are the reason why Oklahoma is facing a $1.3 billion shortfall - which is necessitating a 25% cut in provider reimbursements for Medicaid patients - which is going to cause up to a predicted 97% of nursing homes in the state to have to operate at a daily loss and probably close. That's 269 facilities facing the danger of closing; 16,800 seniors "discplaced" - meaning that they'd have to find someplace else to live, an estimated 16,900 jobs lost, and $495 million in wages lost.

Star Trekin' - the Death and Sex Episode
Ok. That's a little dramatic, but hey, why not?
Basically, I just wanted to share my astonishment that thisexists existed (its domain is for sale)- because I had No Idea:

Or this (also from "the archive" because once you post something on the Internet, it's there for keeps) from an Etsy with no reviews later than 2011 but the link is below if you want to sign up for notification when EveningArwin will be back - but after six years, don't hold your breath. For all I know the below model/seamstress(?) is still in one of CBS/Paramount's black site detention centers for violating their copyright.)-
