In honor of this weekends unending discourse lemme dust off the first real thing I wrote for my blog.

On Pearl Snaps, Cowboy Boots, and Fascist Pricks
Every interaction was a minefield. I was withdrawn, depressed, the only ray of sunshine was my spouse and kid and good country music on the car stereo. I pulled on those old battered boots of Mister B...

Y’all wanna get reeeeeeeeeeal weird with it?

I could make the same argument about George Strait.
If I’m gonna say it I might as well say it with my whole ass chest and on main.

Well call it a night with #20 but first, a song from the archives.

Reba from 83 “Can’t Even Get the Blues” and y’all are really gonna hate me for this but…

Reba was always mid.

I love the old commercials. They’re talking about ordering lunch via a high tech fax machine.

And a Good Morning America ad about data privacy in the modern age.

So okay work isn’t going to get done so Ima get back on this top 40 chart.

Last one I swear but if you were a fan of “Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy” I am fucking judging you.
Harshly.
Not saying we can’t hang out but you will take shit, deservedly, and forever.

It’d be fun to try to create a playlist of country songs we think President Trump would know and like but I’m supposed to be doing real work right now so y’all remind me Tuesday.
I really doubt he likes 20 country songs.
December 1, 2025 at 1:54 AM
Someone help. I’ve forgotten which one was Big and which one was Rich and did I hallucinate a rapping cowboy? Did they call it “hick hop?” Do I have a fever?

There’s a small, cruel, part of me that wants to know President Trump’s top 20 country songs. There’s an awful part of me that wants to listen to his Spotify playlist just for the content.

#30 is Diamond Rio with “Mirror Mirror” and one day we need to talk about that bands comeback in the early 2000s because “Beautiful Mess” was such a good song.

MP story?

Why not.

MP story.

MPs are some shady motherfuckers but this is not about their criminality it’s about their stupidity and how it saved a young sergeant from a hassle but created heartburn for some young Captain somewhere.

Tell you what.
I’ll fight your fucking mummies if you give me a good way to start my neo-Western noir. Just outline the first act for me.
A lot of writers talk about their greatest fear being the empty page but to me that’s nothing compared to mummies

It’s useful to think about things like this in numbers of tenure track professors.

$33M is 358 assistant professors. Or about fourteen percent of the total number of full-time faculty at Michigan State.
SOURCES: Michigan State is firing head coach Jonathan Smith, @theathletic.com has learned.

He went 9-15 in two seasons, including 1-8 in the Big Ten this year. (ESPN first reported).

MSU players meeting called for 2:45. Smith has a $33 million buyout (with offset).

To make myself feel better I’m back on an old episode of Americas Country Countdown from 91 and they just played George Fucking Jones back to back on FM radio and man what the fuck happened to my genre bro?

and you know what? these students should also be judged, and judged harshly for this. running to the admins and state legislators and the press because you got a fairly earned failing grade on an assignment is and should be seen as a mark of extremely poor character. it makes you a very bad person.
the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them
OU has put the professor here on administrative leave:

Nah fuck that.
Ain’t no six figure making motherfucker “poor” and ain’t no goddamned way a family that makes more money than my family has ever made is in poverty. Some of you need some fucking perspective.

I don’t trust people who say “Instagram (TikTok) cut off my last video so I reuploaded it to tell you this important truth…”

If the platform censored your last video A: why was the second one not censored and B: why the fuck are you still using the platform?

I sense bullshit.

I need these watch companies to have Black Friday sales in August because I’d absolutely buy a new Orient on sale except I gotta buy shit for every other member of my family.

God I fucking hate this town.
I’ll never live in a 94% white town again.
Truth is if I leave our house here y’all will never see me North of Virginia on I-95 ever again because fuck this shit.

I do not understand how one group of people can be as consistently inconsiderate as fucking Massholes. And I hate the fact that my town becomes almost unusable as the Christmas shopping season picks up.

So uh…
I picked one of those YouTube videos and it randomly turned out to be the week that Alan Jackson’s “Someday” was number one and I think I might die of nostalgia poisoning.

I have lore with that song.

There’s an Instagram that just plays old clips of American Country Countdown in the cab of a vintage Chevy pick up.

Turns out they have entire old episodes of American Country Countdown on YouTube.

I’m gonna start an obscure conspiracy theory that Vern Gosdin and Jake the Snake Roberts are the same guy.

Y’all remember when TNN was The Nashville Network and they had like talk shows that interviewed Buck Owens and shit or did I just hallucinate that?

They’d show music videos in the mornings with VJs but unlike MTV the VJs were middle aged and dressed for Sunday School.

One of the reasons I need some of y’all to contribute a story to my proposed barracks anthology is because there are people on this very website who think the military should build housing.
