Pay People ‘To Do Nothing’? Actually, It Makes EVERYBODY Better Off – So Says THE DATA…
The concept goes by a couple of variations on the theme of ‘Guaranteed Minimum Income’ or ‘Universal basic income’ (UBI). It is — strangely enough — a place where Extreme Progressive Left & Extreme Libertarian Right meet in a fond embrace; different reasons entirely but love is love, yeah? The concept sounds to the uninformed…

Here’s An Absolute Truth: All Results From Election 2016 MUST BE TOSSED. Otherwise It’ll Be ‘SLAVERY: The Sequel’
Excuse me if we ‘cut to the cliche’: Russia touched, influenced or CORRUPTED virtually every facet of Election 2016. They penetrated databases, stole & transferred data, weaponized that data and turned it back on us, bought American politicians wholesale via the NRA and thousands of Russian ‘retirees’. This didn’t happen suddenly. Vladimir Putin himself had…

I’m Putting Down A ‘MARKER’ — Robert Mueller Will Act — So As To Deliberately IMPACT Election 2018…
It is June 22, 2018 — 3:39 pm on the West Coast as I start this. If I get this right — I will point at this very moment at some point in the not-too-distant-future I (hope) and crow as loud as I can — It Was LUCK! Or not. The TV Talking Heads —…

I Have To Be Honest: TrumpWorld Has My Creative Juices Flowing
A Universal Truth (well, Universal minus 30% of this country) – Donald Trump is the worst thing to happen to this country since the Civil War — and, before that, slavery. But even Hell On Earth, turns out, has the itsy-bitsiest of silver linings. Truth is a lot of us who ‘fancy ourselves’ as ‘creatives’…

Is Jeff Sessions Too Stupid For Christianity?
Our ‘sistah-sight’ Mulligan Jesus (which, biased-biased-biased I highly recommend) asks what I think is a very provocative question: Is THIS MAN — Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions — too stupid for Christianity? We know already he’s TOO STUPID FOR JESUS… But,, who am I — a very humble atheist — to judge. That’s I leave…

Storming The Bastille — Or Something Like It…
As the screws turn ever tighter on Donald Trump and his Criminal Enterprise — and as they behave in ways that shock more and more Americans to the point of doing something — an ‘Old World’ Battle Cry will be heard: “Storming the Bastille”. It’s come to mean ‘The People Seizing Power’. But that’s not…

Evil’s Too Smart To ‘Billboard Itself’; That’s Why It Births Itself In Banality…
Maybe it’s ‘my’ fault… ‘Our‘ fault if I include the rest of my screenwriting ‘tribe’. I could widen the tribe out to include anyone and everyone who ever helped make a movie that gave an audience the notion that Evil is BILLBOARD OBVIOUS the moment it ‘walks on stage’. Alas, if only more of my…

America: ‘Died Of A Theory’?
I’m a History Geek. Among the History topics that Geek me out most is The Civil War — you know, that ‘thing’ we fought for ‘States Rights’ according to Revisionist (Southern) History but really fought cos SLAVERY. Ken Burns’ ‘Civil War’ series is Nirvana. The first time I heard David McCoullough’s exquisite baritone caressing the…
