In The Words of Butch Cassidy: “Don’t sugar coat it, Kid, tell ‘er straight!”
Yeah, yeah, yeah — I get it: Certain words will send certain people running for the smelling salts upon hearing them. Sure, sure, sure — kids. I have em. I get that, too. And I agree — there’s adult entertainment and there’s ‘other’. But we’re talking THE NEWS here. What IS. For REALS. And if…

There’s A REASON The MSM Makes Us All Crazy – They’re US
I’m starting to see the MSM as that part of our collective brain where we ‘work things out’. Like a Giant ‘ID’ (in the Freudian sense) — Dodging one issue after another as they come flying at us from our over-heated Super-Ego. An idea hits — ‘Did Donald Trump ‘Collude’ With Russia’? Or — ‘Should…

Fuck Greed. That Simple.
I’m wracking my brain here, trying to remember — when was the last time GREED did anything good for anyone except the Greedy Person…?

This WH Baffles The Shit Out Of Me…
Of all the tweets NOT to tweet… Even in Trumpian ‘Up-Is-Down-And-Down-Is-Sideways’ logic, Donald tweeting ANYTHING about Al Franken should have been an easy veto. Even inside Donald’s perpetual-wounded-little-boy, syphilis-addled brain… Why didn’t THIS CONVERSATION take place? OUR SCENE — Upstairs at the Trump WH, behind ‘closed doors’… Ivanka enters — sees Donald hunched over his phone,…

Why Trusting A Theist Can Be Dicey…
The headline to this post was the hardest part of the whole post to write. How do you tell an 800 pound Gorilla you think his decision-making skills are miles beyond stupid? Same struggle: How do you tell theists — many of them your friends and loved ones — that you see the process they…

Why I’m An Atheist: Leaps Of Faith (and Logic)…
I know: The whole notion of a deity demands first and foremost that ya make a ‘Huge Leap Of Faith’… Okay — for shits n giggles — I’ll go along… I will ACCEPT Judeo-Chhrisitianity’s version of ‘How We Got here’. Sight unseen. But just to make sure I’m down with My New Shiny Faith, I’ll…

Slouching Toward Bethlehem To Be Born…
If ever a poem felt right on the money — despite entirely different times and circumstances in which it was written — WB Yeats’ The Second Coming’ is breathtakingly prescient… “The best lack all conviction while the worst Are full of passionate intensity” It’s like the man was alive today… And, then of course, there’s…

It’s What We DON’T See That Defines Us…
It’s a natural, human thing to assume: You see what you see, hear what you hear (et cetera with smell, taste, touch) — What else is there TO know? Aren’t you ‘receiving’ all available information about the physical world we live in Um, no actually… Humans see only a certain light spectrum. There are lots…

Why Cannibalism Is Hilarious…
If I had to try and guess when it first struck me that cannibalism was deeply funny, I’d probably have to point to a Charles Adams cartoon I saw in a book taken from his New Yorker work. I might have been 5 – but the I impression that image made – of two men…

The Road Not Taken – Republican Version
Watching the republican party slowly choke to death on its own hubris, greed and power lust brings to mind Robert Frost’s poem — “The Road Not Taken” — with a dark twist. In the republican version, the traveler takes the path he always takes and goes where he always knows he was going. In the…
