If Every Human Could Be Merged Into A Single REASONABLE Human, Here’s What THAT Human Might Do…
If we were able to put out a “help wanted” ad on some cosmic Craigslist, but the ad stressed that the human we’re looking for MUST BE REASONABLE, we’d instantly exclude a third of humanity. I’ll own it — I’m extrapolating from this country onto humanity in general. Trump’s approval ratings in America still ping-pongs…

Imagine If The News Could Go Bullshit-Free For 24 Hours…
A Thought Experiment — Imagine, if you can: The News Networks (that doesn’t include Fox of course) and all the country’s news sources agree that for one 24 hour period, they will refuse to broadcast, print or disseminate anything “bullshit”. For one whole day, the news commits to putting out news and only news. If…

It’s Insane On Steroids That People Get Crazy Over The Oscars; They Were Created As (And Still Are) A MARKETING TOOL Above All…
There’s a great line in “The Usual Suspects”: “The greatest trick the Devil ever played was convincing the world that he didn’t exist”. Exactly so. Real evil recedes into the background where it quietly corrupts everything it can. I’m not in any way saying the Oscars are evil. Absolutely not. But they play by movie…

How Do You Sell CHANGE To People Terrified Of Change?
My wife and I had dinner last night with friends we hadn’t seen for a while — busy schedules, our children on different tracks — life, in other words. Rene’s a lawyer. Lovely guy. More honest than the day is long. What I’ve always loved about “arguing” with Rene is his complete loyalty to The…

In Essence, Donald Trump’s Just A Glorified Car Thief — Who’s Stolen America’s Car
Something I struggle with daily is our news media’s raging inability to tell the story we’re all part of. Had our main stream news media not normalized “Mexicans are rapists” and “pussy-grabbing” in favor of “her emails”, we might not be at the precipice right this second. To Donald Trump’s infinite credit, he has the…

“Karma’s A Stone Cold Bitch” – MOSCOW MITCH MCCONNELL EDITION
When we get to the end of this sorry-assed saga, Mitch McConnell will stand as one of American history’s Uber-Villains. If you want to know how severely damaged Moscow Mitch is — he’s a lonely bully having his revenge on the rest of the schoolyard — read Jane Meyer’s excellent piece on Mitch in the…

Since I Stopped Drinking Alcohol, I’ve Come To See Clearly — America Has A Problem With Alcohol
Want to know if Americans drink too much alcohol? Quit drinking for a day. Better yet a week — or a month. Better yet, quit drinking entirely. I wasn’t forced to quit drinking by the mood stabilizer that saved my life. Alcohol can increase the intensity of any side effects the lamictil causes but, by…

The Rule Of Law Matters — Unless You’re A Republican – Or In The Main Stream Media
Not A Revelation — The story we’re all living through (the extended Republican-Russian coup d’etat dressed up as a bad reality series) is light years beyond what our befuddled Main Stream News Media can handle. “Both Sides Do It” journalism has so distorted their perspective that they don’t see the threat to their own existence…

Every Evangelical Has A Deep, Dark, Dirty Secret — They All Think THEY Are “God”
Ask ten people what “god” is and you’ll get ten distinctly different answers. That’s not because “god” is such an expansive, all-encompassing concept. It’s because “god” is an “idea” you can alter on the fly. The magical power god has one moment, he doesn’t have the next. Or he chooses not to use them that…
