What Do You Do When The Reality Of A Pandemic Contradicts What Your Religious Faith Wants You To Believe?
I draw a very clear distinction between spirituality and religion. But then, I would — I’m an atheist. A spiritual atheist. I commune regularly with the cosmos though I’m quite sure the cosmos does not commune back. The cosmos couldn’t give a rat’s ass about me. I accept that. I stand in awe of the…

Dear American News Media: Please Get This Straight — Both Sides Do Not “Do It”
And both sides don’t do everything for political reasons either. Let’s put that out there straight away. I’d love to know where exactly — at which Journalism School — “Both Sides Do It ” journalism was born.

Question: What’s The Proper Cannabis Strain To Go With A Coronavirus Quarantine? Answer: Pretty Much ANY Cannabis strain
You know shit’s strange when real time is as plastic and fungible as time while you’re high. I don’t think it’s just me. The deeper we’ve plunged into the coronavirus quarantine, the weirder “time” has become. If you smoke as much dope as I do, you’re kinda used to thinking suddenly “Wait– where am I?…

Hey, Rand Paul — Thanks For Reminding Us — Libertarians Are Selfish Little Boys
In the Pantheon Of Bullshit, Libertarianism has its own vestibule. This is from the Institute For Humane Studies at George Mason University: “The libertarian perspective is that peace, prosperity, and social harmony are fostered by “as much liberty as possible” and “as little government as necessary.” Or, put another way: “You’re not the boss of…
