• Donald J Trump Is EXACTLY What We Mean By “The Banality Of Evil”

  

  The truth is even Hitler had to overcome his own core mediocrity to become “HITLER”.

• Can Twitter Be Fixed? Or Has “The Fix” Always Been In At Twitter?

  When I turned on my computer this morning, I learned that I am now banned from Twitter for a week. The offending tweet (I sooooo wish I had taken a few more moments before responding and screen captured it) was mild to put it bluntly. I said I wished that Donald Trump – with his…

• Some Perspective On Perspective

  As much as I might want to see the world through another person’s eyes, it’s a physical impossibility. The best I can ever really hope for is to imagine what the world literally looks like as they see it. It’s a fact — we all experience “experience” differently. Imagine a cube sitting alone on a…

• America’s Love Affair With STUPID: Part 4 — We’re ALL Stupid & That’s A Fact

  The sign of a really stupid person is they’re convinced they aren’t and have never been stupid. Boy, are they wrong. And stupid. America is filled with people — almost all of them men — who are completely convinced that 1) they have never been wrong because, 2) that would be stupid and, 3) they…

• How Bad Is It? For The First Time, I’m Not Entirely Sure How This Shit-Show Turns Out…

  I’ll own it: I over-bet on Robert Mueller and the Mueller Report. I over-bet on his reputation as a soldier and as a law enforcement professional. I over-bet on a career spent inside the box thinking outside the box. None of that’s on Robert Mueller. It’s all on me. Instead of filling the silence with…

• “Reefer Madness” Is What Happens When People Smoke Bullshit Instead of Reefer

  The story of marijuana prohibition is an object lesson in what happens when bullshit triumphs over truth. That should matter to us right here, right now — because we’re facing a similar situation with the Mueller Report. Truth exists within its pages — yet there are people insisting that the diametric opposite is true. Too…

• America’s Love Affair With “Stupid”, Part II: “Donald Trump, Super Star”

  A thought experiment. Put these two things in your mind together — Donald Trump & the word “stupid”. Aside from drawing the direct connection — “Donald Trump is stupid” (an inescapable fact) — let the two things sit for a moment. Yes, Donald Trump is stupid… but how is Donald Trump stupid? In what ways…

• Is It A “Stupid Question” To Ask “What’s Up With America’s Love Affair With Stupid”?

  Not A Revelation: Stupid plays very well in America. I don’t mean we like to laugh at stupid people (everyone loves laughing at stupid people except the stupid people themselves), I mean we we like it when stupid people laugh at us. We must like it; we keep setting ourselves up for it to happen…

  Hey, America — Shitty Karma got ya down? Are you in a snit because rotten people keep getting away with being rotten while “the best lack all conviction” (and refuse to impeach the most impeachable potus in the history of the Republic)? Well, stop making yourself and your re-incarnated selves cray-cray! Stop having “faith” in…

• We Live In Remarkable Times… That’s Not A Good Thing

  I write movies & TV shows for a living (and a book, too, which I just finished!) It’s not the most reliable way to pay the rent but when I do make a buck, I make it by making stuff up, writing it down and selling it. I take great pride in the fact that…
