How “Democracy Of The Marketplace” Works: You Vote With Your Dollars
In America, for better or (mostly) worse, money talks and everything else just sits quietly and listens. Hell, we’re so stupid about money that we even put it (profit incentive) at the heart of our healthcare system — and we can’t figure out why our system is now the most expensive healthcare system on earth……

Why Our Main Stream News Media Sucks — “It’s The Framing, Stupid” Edition
It physically hurts watching most of our Main Stream News Media grapple with Donald Trump. He’s so much a creature of their making — his entertainer’s DNA is the same as theirs — that they fail to see their own fatal flaws in him. It’s days/weeks/months/a presidency like this that make me think about Paddy…

When Gun Lovers Insist They Need Their Guns To Fight Tyrannical Government, What They Mean Is THEY’RE RACISTS
Pro-gun people will insist right to your face that their arsenal of death is all that stands between the collective us and a hostile, tyrannical government taking over all our lives. Their devotion to the second amendment (well, to their bizarre interpretation of it that rearranges syntax and redefines words to make them more convenient)…

The Same Racism Used To Justify White Supremacist Violence Was Used To Make Cannabis Illegal
I’ve searched Google & Wikipedia. I’ve searched the whole internet (every single tube of it). I even cracked an actual book. There’s no evidence anywhere that racism ever did anything good for anyone. Yet here we are, hostages of America’s racist soul. I’ll warn ya right now — there’s a whole shitload of irony coming.…

The Remarkable Pleasure Of Coffee & Cannabis
I love mornings. I didn’t used to love them but these days my day doesn’t so much “start” as spark to life. My morning routine feels a lot like the lights suddenly going on inside a factory. That’s the caffeine in the coffee of course but even more than that? It’s the cannabis. I hope…

Dear CNN & MSNBC – Virtually All Of Your Talking Head Analysis is RUBBISH Or Worse – Here’s Why
Stop me if this is too familiar: you’re watching a cable news show — they show Trump on the White House lawn pitching bullshit so bullshitty it hurts your ears. They cut back to the studio where the show’s host introduces three or four regulars to poke at what they just heard. Now, some shows…

Can We PLEASE Get This Straight? NO ONE Loves Their Health INSURANCE…
Somewhere, an evil genius is smiling so hard his face hurts. It might be the same evil genius who came up with a “Mission Accomplished” banner for the background of a speech by George W. Bush — on an aircraft carrier — during a war he started for no reason. Yeah, I know the banner…

Americans Despise Paying Taxes Because They Perceive It As Money For Nothing
Ask just about any American “What do you get for your tax dollars” and I’ll bet you next year’s minuscule tax refund they’ll reply “Nothing. We get NOTHING!” There’s even a chance they’ll spit, too. Several times. Want to lose an election? Tell an American you’re raising his taxes. Doesn’t matter what the raised taxes…

Dear Donald Trump – Coming From QUEENS Is No Better Than Coming From Baltimore
Let that sink in for a second — a bloated orange schlub from QUEENS is throwing shade on Baltimore. Screw you, Donald Trump and drop dead (from either the heart attack or the stroke you’ve been working on — it’s time already)! Even coming from Brooklyn has more cachet than coming from Queens FFS. I…
