Suicide Is Just ‘Bullshit’ Claiming Another Victim
Tough week if you’re in the Suicide Prevention Business. Kate Spade… Anthony Bourdain — and those are just the famous suicides. I bet there are ‘a few more’ suicides out there — you’ve just never heard the names before. After Donald Trump was ‘elected’ (he was not elected — you don’t get to literally STEAL…

Here’s The Question: Is Integrity Dead?
You can chip away at a lot of things — and still have them. Living in California as I do, ‘Paradise’ comes to mind. There’s that lyric to that great Eagles song (the last cut on ‘Hotel California’) “The Last Resort”: “They called it ‘Paradise’, I don’t know why… Call someplace ‘Paradise’ — Kiss it…

Disruption Good, Disruption Bad
We’ll never get to know — those of us living in the ‘Right Here Right Now’ — how our Time will be perceived by those who come long after us. Perspective sucks that way. To get the really, really good perspective — well, ‘You can’t there from here’ (as the say up in Maine). We…

Integrity Is An All Or Nothing Proposition
My kids, when they were little, wanted to do a hundred things each day — because, in their minds, it was possible to spend the same time doing two completely different things. It wasn’t, of course. Invariably we had to make choices about what we wanted to do with our time — because the Truth…

Wait… Didn’t You Used To Be Jesus?
Ever get nostalgic for the ‘Original Jesus’? You know — the guy who washed the feet of poor people cos he was THAT humble? No? Not ringing any bells? Welcome to Evolution. From ‘Do Unto Others’ to ‘Do Unto Others So Long As They’re White” to “Do Unto Others Before They Do Unto You”. They…

Food For The Faithful: Sounds Like A Call For McOOGA-BOOGAS!
Our sister sight ‘Mulligan Jesus’ gets it so right sometimes. Okay, I’m biased. But check it out. As the site says — be careful when you order — the portions at McOoga-Boogas are HUGE. Bullshit is the most plentiful ‘natural resource’ on Earth… Bullshit — It’s What’s For Breakfast… Lunch AND Dinner

Today’s Mantra: “BACK IT UP OR IT’S BULLSHIT”
Why do we insist on making (relatively) simple problems complicated? Cause we’re human maybe… We’ve gotten it into our heads that discerning the Truth is difficult and requires a Yoda-like wisdom. No, it doesn’t. It’s actually quite easy. Easier still if you’ve managed to ID and Isolate the BULLSHIT in your life. The first thing…

In The Pantheon of Bullshit, ‘Flag-Waving’ Sits Atop Its Flagpole
There are Americans – lots of em – who genuinely believe that Patriotism means you wave a flag at every opportunity and scream at people who don’t wave flags cause they’re being ‘unpatriotic’. They think the bigger the flag on their front lawn, the more patriotic they are. These are the same mooks who think…

A Radical Idea: Let’s RE-NORMALIZE Telling The Truth
It’s astounding what we’ve come to ‘accept’ every day — the bullshitting and prevaricating and parsing of words and flat out LYING for no reason other than it’s the first impulse — to LIE first then BURY the Truth later. Yes, not being entirely forthright or forthcoming is second nature to politics. Most people, in…
