Dear American Main Stream News Media: There’s A Difference Between “COMPLEX” & “COMPLICATED” — Trump-Russia Is Complex; It Is NOT Complicated…
Let’s try and make this simple. Love is complex but it should never be complicated because the act of loving, itself, is simple (regardless of how complicated some people make it). Same token — the Trump-Russia story. It’s staggeringly complex with a million moving parts and (by design) lots of layers to make connecting all…

Let’s Say We DO Put Donald Trump Behind Us — Okay… What Then?
We want to believe that, in the end, Good will triumph over Evil. But just because we believe something, that doesn’t make it true. Humans used to believe the earth was the center of the universe. Fortunately, enough humans learned (via scientific curiosity and scientific discovery) that we are in fact nowhere near the center…

Donald Trump Is A Racist, Misogynist, Corrupt Traitor — But Does He Have To Be So Bloody STUPID About It?
Greenland? The Effing-Moron-In-Chief wants to buy Greenland? Is that so the Space Force has somewhere to train? We knew on election day 2016 when Trump was declared “winner” that something bizarre had just happened. We felt ourselves — the election — our future being hijacked in real time. We knew in our guts that this…

From A Branding Point Of View, “Christian” Is Kinda Spent; Followers Of Jesus Need A New Name
I’ll own it — a born atheist has no business telling Christians anything about their brand. Except, Christianity — being a sales-based religion (“Hey, have ya heard the ‘good news’ style proselytizing started with Paul, the actual inventor of Christianity) — relies almost entirely on how it’s perceived by others. After all, isn’t the point…

Of Peckers & Peccadilloes — What IS It About Men & Their “Manhood”?
Things that begin with the letter “P” — Peculiar… Powerful… Pederast… Pervert… Penis. Peckers, too. And Peccadilloes. One of the stories that’s already bubbled up in the Jeffrey Epstein saga is his apparent need for a minimum of three orgasms a day. On the one hand, I do admire the man’s capacity. On the other…

The Difference Between Bullshit & Horse Shit — And, Yes, There IS A Difference…
I think of “now” as A Golden Age Of Bullshit. And we are the mountaineers bravely climbing Bullshit’s highest peak — the Trump White House. Humanity has invented and lived through countless Ages of Nonsense, Lies, Rubbish & Self-Delusion. Pick a religion. Add a little dogma. Bam! You have bullshit on your hands now. The…

We Are Living Through Historic Times… Is It Okay If We Change The Channel Now?
This can’t be right… Donald-Bloody-Trump is on every freaking channel! There’s a famous “curse” (we’ll argue attribution another time) “May you live in interesting times” — meant, usually, ironically. Our times, it turns out, will be among the most interesting (and historic) ever. The forces of right wing darkness, repression and greed — forces we…

How “Democracy Of The Marketplace” Works: You Vote With Your Dollars
In America, for better or (mostly) worse, money talks and everything else just sits quietly and listens. Hell, we’re so stupid about money that we even put it (profit incentive) at the heart of our healthcare system — and we can’t figure out why our system is now the most expensive healthcare system on earth……

Why Our Main Stream News Media Sucks — “It’s The Framing, Stupid” Edition
It physically hurts watching most of our Main Stream News Media grapple with Donald Trump. He’s so much a creature of their making — his entertainer’s DNA is the same as theirs — that they fail to see their own fatal flaws in him. It’s days/weeks/months/a presidency like this that make me think about Paddy…

Dear CNN & MSNBC – Virtually All Of Your Talking Head Analysis is RUBBISH Or Worse – Here’s Why
Stop me if this is too familiar: you’re watching a cable news show — they show Trump on the White House lawn pitching bullshit so bullshitty it hurts your ears. They cut back to the studio where the show’s host introduces three or four regulars to poke at what they just heard. Now, some shows…
