• Conservatism = The Death Of Innovation

  I take conservatives and conservatism at their word: they’re all about conserving things. My question is always: “what?”. What is it exactly that any conservative wants to conserve? It can’t be the future, of course, because the future – not existing yet – can’t be conserved. That leaves the present and past for conservatives. Okay……

• “I’m Trying To Think But Nothing Happens”

  I’m a movie nerd. Movie quotes and moments pop into my head constantly, like a highlighter being applied to my life in real time. One of those quotes pops up with alarming regularity these days.

• Putin Is Now As Crazy As Trump: Hmmmmm…

  There are no coincidences.

  Pick a monster — any monster — and jack it up on steroids. That’s who & what the GOP has become. Having written a few horror movies in my time, I see Republicans as distinctly vampiric. But worse. They’ve become the real life version of a story character that gets too close to the nuclear…

• Maya Angelou Had It SOOOOOO Right – When People Tell You Who They Are…

  If you want me to be your friend — but, the fact is, you hate Jews on sight — I’m not seeing a future for our relationship regardless of how much you tell me MY being Jewish isn’t an issue for you. That’s not the point, right? You’re an anti-Semite. It’s who you are. I…
