We Got Donald Trump All Wrong; As Horrible As We Thought He’d Be? He’s Way, WAY Worse
A lot of us anticipated the bad horror movie the Trump presidency would be. It wasn’t exactly rocket science. Trump was a fraud who was given the maximum benefit of the doubt by a press both in love with Trump’s fraudulent audacity and in fear of his retribution. Their inability to cover this story –…

If Brett Kavanaugh Is Still Working As A SCOTUS Judge, That Means The Rule Of Law Is NOT Working
The Rule Of Law is kinda like a soap bubble made of iron. In and of itself, it’s incredibly solid — it’s made of iron, isn’t it? But it’s still got the delicacy of a bubble. There’s no “slightly popped”. There’s popped and not popped. The Rule Of Law is a radical notion if you…

When Penises Attack
Let’s get naked about penises. They’re designed (as it were) to penetrate. For all our peacockery about cocks, a penis is nothing more than a DNA delivery nozzle. Glorifying a man’s pecker is as absurd as glorifying a garden hose when it’s the garden he’s “watering” that should get our respect.. Male design specs encourage…

This Is That Point In The Movie Where The Villains Decide To Go All Out…
No writer could have written what we’re still living through and gotten away with it. No one would have bought it — way too unbelievable. Yet here we are. Perversely, the villains in this piece operate by the exact same rules by which a Bond Villain operates — power & money cos why not? With…

Hey, America — Here’s A Radical Idea: Let’s Tax The Ignorant
I hope like hell this isn’t a revelation: ignorance is blissful only for the ignorant. Ignorance is expensive as hell for everyone else. Ignorance is caused by lack of information. Willful ignorance is a refusal to accept information that would cure the ignorance. Stupidity, on the other hand, is just that — stupidity. It’s deep-seated…

Dear American News Media: Never Mind What The Democrats Are Doing To Prep For Trump In 2020, What Are YOU Doing?
I’ll answer my own question (it’s why I asked): NADA. The overwhelming bulk (the perfect word) of the American News Media is happily zooming down the same idiotic, Democracy-destroying path THIS election as they did in 2016. Despite whole mountain ranges of evidence, most of our MSM still refuses to accept an ounce of responsibility…

Republicans Have No Idea What “Integrity” Is — “Ditto” The Rule Of Law
Ever meet a guy with 96% of his integrity intact? “Yeah — he’s pretty honest most of the time… it’s that 4% where he’s a goddamned liar that’s the problem” is not a sentence one hears often. There’s a reason. Integrity either is or it isn’t. There’s no middle ground, no grey area. In fact,…

Dear America: We Are Living Through World War III And Don’t Even Know It
Anyone who thinks it takes bombs and bullets to win a war will lose every single war they ever wage going forward. Right now, that would be us — still thinking that Donald Trump is anything other than a literal weapon, fully loaded and pointed directly at our heads. If Russia wanted to (hell, a…

Each & Every One Of Us Is Making It Up As We Go Along — Every Day; Why Not Own It?
I’ve told this story here before. Three days before Christmas 2016, I came within inches of bullshitting myself to death. That’s how I thought of it not long afterward — after driving straight to my doctor’s office and pretty much demanding that he write me a prescription for the mood stabilizer I had researched and…
