People Practice Their Politics The Same Way They Practice Their Religion
There’s a reason ‘polite society’ avoids the topics of politics and religion. Both are incredibly divisive, yes, but they also come from the same hidey-hole in our brains. One of the hallmarks of religion in general is the ‘fluidity’ of belief. The ‘rules’ such as they are can be manipulated and often are. When the…

The Gerrymandered States of America
Coming soon – if the fate of PA’s gerrymandered bullshit becomes the model going forward – every gerrymandered district in the country will be tossed and actual representation of the voters in those districts will begin., After all – the whole POINT of gerrymandering district lines is to CIRCUMVENT the Will of those voters since…

Gerrymandering Is Like Pretending Somebody Loves You – When They DON’T
Gerrymandering is what politicians do when they can’t win elections on the strength of their arguments and resort to cheating instead — by ‘changing the rules’. Or, in the case of gerrymandering, the BOUNDARIES. So, instead of running against an electorate that wants nothing to do with them — and certainly doesn’t want their antiquated…

Journalistic Malpractice Is A Thing
I have started to dislike MSNBC’s Alex Witt intensely. I’m sure she’s a nice lady and all but, as a journalist, she’s the worst. She commits Journalistic Malpractice every time she goes on the air. She’s totally unprepared. When a journalist or reporter asks questions where the answers are already publicly available — but THEY…

Hey, MSM – J’Accuse! You Own WAY More of Trump-Russia Than You Admit…
I take in a lot of Cable News. As in, I have it on in the background — either on the TV in my office or via my satellite radio (on my phone – and right into my ears). I don’t do all that watching and listening cause I’m desperate for information — I am;…

Getting The Best Out Of People: Everything I Know About Creative Collaboration I Learned From Bob Zemeckis…
Among the things I’ve been lucky enough to do over the course of my career is write and produce a TV show called ‘Tales From The Crypt’. It was a blast to do — incredibly challenging work aside — in large part because I got to work with some of the most talented people in…

Never Mind Your Sign — What’s Your TRIBE?
Not a revelation: Human beings are tribal. Put two unrelated humans together (provided they don’t want to kill each other) and they will bond — forming a ‘Tribe’. An ‘Us’ to face whatever ‘Them’s’ might come their way. It’s hard-wired into us and clearly, since we’re still here on the planet, it’s been ‘working’ for…

A ‘Different Kind’ of President…
Gawd, but people don’t half bullshit themselves. Someone should dedicate a web site to it… For the duration of the campaign and now a ‘presidency’, we have heard our MSM (mostly echoing Trumpanistas) attempt to ‘explain’ Donald Trump’s daily assaults on every last norm we have as just his being ‘…a different kind of president’.…

False Equivalences Are KILLING US
How did American Journalism get this story so fucking wrong? The Russians compromised not only a Major Party’s presidential nominee, they compromised the political party itself. And their espionage operation continues UNCHECKED to this fucking day. And yet – American Journalism STILL get it wrong and still are stumbling all over themselves trying to both catch…

Reverend Franky Graham Presents: “MULLIGAN JESUS — Cause Contrition’s For Losers”
“Hey, Folks — Franky Graham here! Is being a ‘Good Christian’ proving to be less personally ‘rewarding’ than advertised? Is following the literal word of Jesus a little more ‘ticky-tack‘ than you bargained for (cause, really, nobody’s following any religion for the ‘rule-following’, amiright, folks?) Is the thought of having to own up to shit…
