There’s the old cliche’ about, “Who pulled his chain?!”

Perhaps it refers to the 19th Century toilets, that had a water tank high above, with a chain one pulled to flush the day’s deposits on to recycling heaven. Or maybe it concerns the snarls that often result from pulling the chain of an irritable old watchdog.

Both possibilities probably apply here. I read or watch the news. It prompts responses. Often. Or I think. Occasionally. These are random results – observations, thoughts, comments, rants … perhaps comparable to the deposits or snarls mentioned above.
