How To Live BULLSHIT-FREE

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…

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…

Those of you who use cannabis during the day will probably get this… I’ve found (stumbled upon really) the fact that a huge variety of cannabis strains — hybrids & sativas — rather than diffusing your thinking, fine tune it to a laser-like point of intense focus where a remarkable amount of very good work…

“THC makes you high”. Umm, no.  Not all THC is created equal actually.  Depending on the turpene structure and quantity of THC, some WILL make you high.  And some will make you sleep. But some will make you write this sentence…

Think about…

The Democrats showed very well last night.  They SURPRISED not only the republicans and the MSM – they surprised themselves.  Because what they REALLY showed was UP.

Here’s a ‘wacky’ idea — A ’23-And-Me’ genetics-testing commercial — but for one of those ‘wacky’ FLDS Mormon groups — where a man gets to have  countless wives and countless kids who surely mix it up more than a little between themselves making genetics-testing a completely WACKY idea…

But what’s that a reflection of?  That people are becoming…
