Can We Be Honest? “Conservative Thinking” Is An Oxymoron
I’m a proud Progressive. I prefer the term “progressive” to “liberal” because the word liberal has gone through too many gyrations over time to be effective as an accurate descriptor. “I’m a liberal” could mean a whole lot of things that “I’m actually not”. Progressives, as the name implies, want to progress. We want to…

Wanna Know What America’s Problem REALLY Is? White Man BAMBOOZLEMENT Syndrome
Yesterday, Senate Majority Leader — and traitor — Mitch McConnell got up on the Senate floor to give his “final thoughts” on The Mueller Report. Despite the fact that everyone in the whole world capable of reading English could see with their own eyes that Mitch was LYING about the Report’s conclusions, Mitch said —…

There’s A Reason We All Feel “Under Assault” In Trump World — It’s Cos We Are
I was in therapy a bit before Donald Trump stole the presidency. I was deep in my own depression then — headed toward self-destruction. My emotional radar was tweaked especially high. So many things triggered me. Election Night 2016 is its own “Day that will live in infamy”. I suspect I’m not alone in feeling…

It’s No Secret What Conservatives Want — It’s In Their Name: They Want To Live In The Past
I call myself a writer (regardless of what anyone else thinks) because I write. I call myself a Californian because I live in California (and an Angeleno cos I live in LA). I call myself a Progressive because I want to see humankind progress. If I wanted humans to live in the past, I’d call…

HELP! We’re Trapped In A False Narrative & Can’t Get Out!
The most painful part of listening to or watching the news channels these days is the constant barrage of false narratives. The biggest false narrative of all, of course, is that Donald Trump got elected. He may have been given the victory but he lost the popular vote by over 3 million votes (it would…

Fer F*ck’s Sake, America — They’re Just WORDS!
George Bernard Shaw put it this way — ‘The United States and Great Britain are two countries separated by a common language.” Not that every Brit is Shakespeare — that would be a slight over-statement — but regardless of how profane they are by nature most Brits are a hell of a lot better at using…

‘Both Sides Do It’ Is As Dubious As It Is Dead End
American journalism has multiple issues that prevent it from doing its job correctly. Corporatism’s up there but we can’t blame corporatism for ‘Both Sides Do It’. I’m curious — Is ‘Both Sides Do It’ (the market version of ‘False Equivalence’) actually taught at American journalism schools? Is that where the Chuck Todds & Alex Witts…

Sometimes, It’s BEST To ‘Think Like’ A STORYTELLER…
If you want to have a shot at being a successful storyteller, you need to have a better grasp of how people actually tick than most other people. Storytellers who don’t get human beings right are soon employed doing other things — storytelling being out of their range. As any reader or audience member can…
