Conundrum: What Cannabis Strains Go Best With Turkey?
Back in the day — before my mood-stabilizer gave an unpleasent aftertaste to alcohol — I used to think long and hard about what wines to pair with Thanksgiving Dinner. I’m not a big fan of pinot noir — love the stuff but most of it (my opinion) sucks. I was ruined by an incredible…

Is Woman-Hate Built-In To Western DNA?
It would be an understatement to say that Western culture — European Culture (and all its subsidiaries — including us) — owes a little ‘something’ to Abrahamic faith. Christianity seems to have thoroughly embraced lots of pre-Abraham OT (I guess the text gets a little too ‘Jew-y’ for them after that until Totally Jewish Jesus…

The Kyslyak WH Meeting: Did Trump Give Away A Secret? Or Did the American & Israeli IC OUT HIM — As A Russian Espionage Asset?
I will claim a little credit here — for piping up with this just as it was happening… https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/11/trump-intel-slip In case you haven’t remembered — Just after Trump’s inauguration, he has a meeting — IN THE OVAL OFFICE — with Russian Ambassador Kyslyak and others (none of them American). And we know — FROM RUSSIAN…

All Theism Is Flawed ‘In The Beginning’…
Some perspective (before I add my perspective) — I’ve said before that I’m grateful to Hebrew School for making me the atheist I am today. And I mean that genuinely. I come at atheism have been served the kool-aid, having sipped the kool-aid, and having found the kool-aid wanting. I may not have been sure,…

Why Are FEMALE Dictators So Under-Represented?
With the tidal wave of True Sexual Equality sweeping across the political landscape, I wanted to make sure EVERY demographic got covered and felt represented. And I bumped into something that just ‘shocked’ me. Yeah, yeah, yeah – you got your Hitlers & your Mussolinis & your Pol Pots and your Stalins & your Amins…

Americans Have Been Living As Second Class Tech Citizens Forever — And STILL Don’t Know It…
If you travel outside the country occasionally (or ever), or, if you have a relative from another Western Industrialized Nation, you’ve probably bumped into a funny idiosyncracy: A lot of those other countries have FAR better technology than we do — and FOR A LOT LESS MONEY. By technology I mean THE INTERNET… or Television…

Americans Feel A Huge Disconnect From Their Politics: Here’s Why…
In a word: GERRYMANDERING. But before ya get to the word itself, you have to bore down a little to what made GERRYMANDERING possible in the first place. Our ‘friends’ on the right did something brilliant — they recognized that you build a political machine from the ground up. And that’s what they did. Evangelicals…

Just Curious: What Is It Exactly That Conservatives Are Soooo Determined To ‘Conserve’?
The usual way to answer that conservatives answer that question is something like “Well, conservatives aren’t actually against progress, they just want to see it move a little more slowly”. It’s one of those explanations that, on the face of it, almost sounds reasonable. Until you start to think about it — and actually investigate…

Here’s The Problem: ALL Men Have At Least BENEFITTED From Sexism
Just Trying To Be helpful here: It’s a REALLY HARD PROBLEM we’re facing: As a CULTURE, WE JUST GOT WOKE to the fact that — AS A CULTURE — we’ve been treating women like shit — punishing then for just being women. And THAT must stop. But, as we’ll figure out after the intial rush…

The Desire For A Moral High Ground Is Back
Why I’m feeling hopeful – now even more so: Over the last 30 years, lots of battles have been fought for the Moral High Ground by ‘combatants’ unworthy of even battling for it — never mind actually standing atop it. But there they’ve stood — republicans & democrats (to be fair). But one side has,…
