Private Prisons Are As Flat Out Stupid As For Profit Healthcare
There’s a reason no other industrialized country has profit incentive buried inside its healthcare system — it’s stupid! A corporation has a fiduciary responsibility to its shareholders. It could never see patients as anything other than a commodity — something directly impacting its bottom line performance. The more money a corporation can save on patients…

Dear Conservatives — Your Problem Is: No One (Except YOU) Wants To Conserve What YOU Want To Conserve
Want to know what a conservative wants? Look no further than their name: “CONSERVATIVE”. Conservatives want to “conserve“. Now — ask the next logical question — “WHAT do conservatives want to CONSERVE?” Do conservatives want to conserve the future? Of course not — you can’t conserve what doesn’t exist. Do conservatives want to conserve the…

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,…

If I Were “Benevolent Dictator”, Here’s How It Would Be…
No one sees it coming, least of all me. Just like that — political leaders across the world & spectrum get the fates they deserve. The World’s eyes (getting REALLY desperate) turn to me of all people. “Dude,” the World says, “We’re totally screwed. The ball’s yours if you want. Got anything?” “Okay,” I say…

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…

Yesterday’s Twist – Trump’s Deutsche Bank Loan Docs Were All Co-Signed By Russians – Makes a “President Pelosi” entirely possible.
A lot of us have eaten through our stomach linings waiting for Nancy Pelosi to come onboard with impeachment. On the one hand, how many times does Donald Trump have to violate his oath of office to warrant being held accountable for it? On the other, this is virgin territory: a traitor president beholden to…

Dear America — It Doesn’t Matter Whether We Know It Or Not — WE’RE AT WAR
We all know the story of December 7, 1941. At around 7:15 a.m. the Japanese Imperial Fleet attacked the American naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Just like that — America was “at war”. But, the Japanese had set their war machine in motion years before — designing it for just such a scenario. In…

Let’s Say We DO Put Donald Trump Behind Us — Okay… What Then?
We want to believe that, in the end, Good will triumph over Evil. But just because we believe something, that doesn’t make it true. Humans used to believe the earth was the center of the universe. Fortunately, enough humans learned (via scientific curiosity and scientific discovery) that we are in fact nowhere near the center…

People Who Believe In Magic Can Never Be Trusted — Because They Believe In Magic
You’re lying on a gurney, about to be wheeled into emergency surgery. The surgeon appears — big smile on his face — just before they put you under. “Nothing to worry about,” he says (a little too loudly), “You’re gonna be fine — I just know it! I prayed as hard as I could and…
