  • America Is A Great Idea Poorly Executed

    While it would be neat and tidy if every first draft was the final draft, it never ever works out that way. Hell, I don’t know why we even call it “writing” when all good writing is really “re-writing”. If we had any sense, we’d call it “re-writing” to begin with so everyone understood how…

  • Waiting For Trump’s Indictment Is Like Waiting For Godot

    Whoever is scripting this life of ours needs to calm the eff down. You can only keep an audience on pins and needles for so long before they turn on you. Though he’s evaded punishment of any sort his entire life, Donald Trump is about to face real accountability for the very first time. At…

  • The Writers’ Strike Won’t End Soon; Here’s Why

    The Writers Guild strike isn’t going to end any time soon and here’s why. It goes to the core of why Hollywood producers have always hated Hollywood writers. The stone cold fact is, film and video are not writers’ media. Screenplays and teleplays are just floorplans. Other artists will have to fill in significant details…

  • Not Everyone Has A Sense Of Humor

    What is this thing we call “a sense of humor“? Is it just the capacity to laugh? Not all laughter comes from comedy. Or from things most of us would consider “funny”. Bullies laugh all the time but bullies never laugh with people, they always laugh at people. There’s a difference. Take Donald Trump, for…

  • Fascism Is Just Another European Pathogen

    European culture and military superiority didn’t conquer the Americas, European pathogens did. By the time European colonists had landed enough armed men to do actual battle with anyone, European germs had reduced the native population by as much as 90%! Armed Europeans may have thought they and their culture were superior but their superiority was…

  • Connecting Dots That Don’t Connect

    It’s strange, isn’t it, how conspiracy theories and Republican politics have almost everything in common? Conspiracy theorists connect dots that don’t connect. And, so do Republicans. Chem trails… September 11 was an inside job… the moon landing was fake… the Satanic panic… Obama’s birth certificate… In order to believe any of these nitwit notions, first…

  • Magical Cookies

    All religions sell magic of one kind or another. Magic is their stock in trade. It’s religion’s response to questions humans can’t yet answer with hard data. Religion (and the religious) despise uncertainty. Wrap it in a mystery though and they love it! Where science will answer “I don’t know”, religion insists it does know…

  • Voting With Our Dollars

    Supermarkets and ballots have a lot in common. So do buyers and voters. When we choose between Coke and Pepsi, we’re voting between them. That’s how Coke and Pepsi see it. That’s one of the reasons both Coke and Pepsi spend a literal fortune on advertising (despite the fact that everyone on the planet already…

  • Mediocrity Kills

    Without average people, exceptional people would stop being exceptional. If most of the world wasn’t so average, there’d be no average. Averages rely on most people and events falling within certain – average – parameters. Or, seen another way, averages are the sum total of people being average. But even average people can excel despite…
