Mr. Blunt and Cranky is heading in to get his heart re-plumbed (not likely that it will get any softer, but one never knows) and will be offline for an undetermined number of days thereafter. So, while he is away from the InterWebbieNet thingamabob, here are some suggestions for those who check in regularly for a dose of crankified bluntitude:

This writer loves him some Rude Pundit, whether he agrees with the good professor or not. You should check him out (be advised, his nom de blog is every bit as descriptive as this one): http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/

Text From Dog is a hoot; nay, and hoot and a half: http://textfromdog.tumblr.com/

Medical bills suck the big one: head over here: http://www.rumbleman.com/Music_Page.html   Listen to some samples and follow the links to buy a song or two from Mister Blunt and Cranky’s musical self. All proceeds go to pay his friggin’ doctor bills (speaking of health care policy).

The best way to express your own individual crankitude is to vote, and here’s where to get started if you haven’t already: http://www.eac.gov/voter_resources/register_to_vote.aspx

Before buying into anything you see online or hear offline, cruise over to http://www.snopes.com/  or http://www.politifact.com/  to separate the wheat from the chaff.

See all y’all on the other side (wherever that turns out to be) and thanks for your support,

Mister Blunt and Cranky
