American Everyman

by Scott Creighton

UPDATE: I’m worse today than I was yesterday. Operating on about 20 minutes of sleep and no breathing capacity makes for a very interesting perception problem. I’m in 2D land where everything looks like it’s in two dimensions. I’m off to get some BronkAid, NyQuil and maybe a shot of whiskey. That should do the trick.

I’ve been feeling pretty bad these last couple of days so I am taking the day off today. I treated myself to Fallout 4 yesterday since Steam was having their Xmas sale so I intend to spend the day yelling at my computer and getting eaten by ghouls in the wasteland. I consider it training for a post Jan. 20th New American Century.

I see the establishment “news” outlets are taking a day off as well and the ones that aren’t running news reruns this morning (MSNBC literally running yesterday’s news in place of Morning Joe) are leading their programs with the death of George Michael.. a guy busted for giving random guys head in a public bathroom in a park where kids play and busted many times over for various other acts… at least one other involving a public bathroom.

The big stories this weekend involved the UN Security Council FINALLY being able to pass yet another resolution condemning Israel’s illegal settlements in the West Bank of Palestine and of course the Russian plane dropping out of the sky that just HAPPENED to be heading to Syria.

I’ll be covering those tomorrow morning.

Wait a minute.. did I just lead with the Michael story as well? Oh Goddamn it…

I hope you all had a good Christmas and are looking forward to the new year. I’ll be doing my best tomorrow to make you depressed about it, like I always do.

Have a good one and I will see you tomorrow.

p.s. Any Fallout players? I need tips. Everything is kicking my ass out there.😦

I hope this season finds you all in good spirits gathered with those you cherish, laughing about old memories and making news ones.

Because that is what Christmas is all about.

I wish you joy and comfort all the rest of this holiday season and throughout the new year to follow.

This is the annual celebration of our humanity.

Not one of conquest, nationalism or militarism, this holiday celebrates empathy, sacrifice and universal love for all mankind. Even for those least among us. Especially for those least among us.

On these enlightened days we celebrate the better angels of our nature which drive some of us throughout the year to fight for something more humane for our future.

I wish you all happiness and a peaceful forgiving heart and someone close with whom to share these blessings.

Please help keep AE up and running if you can.

Situation is getting (less) critical.

Thanks to a couple donations today, the situation report is better. 🙂

Thank you all so much

UPDATE: Matthew decided to track a little to the east and over here on the left coast of Florida, all we got was a little rain and a gust or two, but nothing big. The Tree of Shame stands tall and proud as I am still online and enjoying the finer things in life like electricity and the interwebs. Oh joy.

Turns out the prognostications about roving gangs of zombie Zika babies were premature. It was a premie. Haha. Sorry. I’m kind of upset about that. I was looking forward to seeing them attack all the over-dramatic weathermen standing out in the rain hoping for doomsday. Ah… maybe next year.

Thanks to your help and that of family members, it looks like we’ll be OK for now. You’ve been very supportive and I can’t thank you enough. This thing hit us kind of hard with 5 days of notice and one way or another I will figure out a way to make ends meet next month… like everyone else does these days. Thanks for the advice, the donations and the moral support you guys supplied me with. It means a lot to know you guys are out there and got my back.
