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…

Most Christians Only Like The Bible For ‘The Good Parts’ Anyway…
I rail often here about Christians and their insincerity. Yeah, sure — low hanging fruit and all but — but even low hanging fruit tastes good and has some nutritional value. So I’ll pick it. Simple fact: Most American Christians know virtually nothing about their professed faith. They’ve NEVER read ‘The Bible’. Most have never…

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…

Maybe Our Takeaway From Trumpism SHOULD Be: We Didn’t Punish Richard Nixon Nearly Hard Enough
There is a direct link between Richard Nixon and Donald J Trump. Or should I say links… There’s the ‘thematic’ one of course — the ‘Country Club Authoritarianism’ personified by Roger Stone… …that views American political norms and anyone not in their club with disdain and disgust. This is the ‘Silent Majority’ part of the link…

If Bullshit Had A ‘Hall Of Fame’…
Bullshit comes with being Human. We don’t know yet if Bullshit comes with being sentient; do other animals capable of conscious thought LIE to each other when necessary? Why would we assume they didn’t? I’m just saying — Lying and Bullshit seem so natural to us that it could be an organic outgrown of having…

Hey, America — Next Time, Let’s Take Better Care of Our Democracy, Okay?
There’s a Joni Mitchell song — pretty well known — with a lyric that goes something like this — They paved paradise And put up a parking lot With a pink hotel, a boutique And a swinging hot spot Don’t it always seem to go That you don’t know what you’ve got ‘Till it’s gone…
