Why Don’t More Men Get Themselves “Snipped”?
Full transparency (this is the part where I drop trow). I’m “snipped”. In 2002, a year after my daughter (child number two) was born, after a series of conversations with my wife, I agreed to undergo a vasectomy – as the principle form of birth control my wife and I would use going forwards. This…

Greetings From Sparky -The Dog That Chased The Car – And Caught It!
Hi there! Sparky’s the name (I’m sparked by my faith that feelings are always better than facts!) and I am the dog that just caught the car! Yessirree, I am the wind beneath the wings of fifty years of hope that cynically pivoted from fighting desegregation (when that fight failed) to caring ardently about “saving…

Now That The Republicans Have Their Crown Jewel, They Have No Idea How To Keep It
Ya can’t blame Republicans for always making rookie mistakes. When it comes to being good humans, they’re rookies. At best. They’re an object lesson in what happens when you do things for all the wrong reasons. They’ve focused on ending Roe v Wade – and “privacy” as a “thing” in American jurisprudence – for fifty…

Everything The Republicans Are Doing Is Going To Blow Up In Their Faces
In a way, The Republican Party is about to become like a car-chasing dog that finally catches up to a car only to realize it never prepared itself for this moment – and this moment sucks – because the car just ran over it. On two different fronts, Republicans – white, Christian conservatives – are…

As Texas’ New Abortion Ban Proves, Right Wing Religionistas Don’t Believe IN God, They Believe They ARE God
No words are more darkly ironic than “pro-life” when seen through the lens of American politics. It’s kinda like the southern states claiming — after the Civil War — that the whole thing was an argument over states’ rights rather than what it WAS an argument over, slavery. The Confederacy still lives, having lost the…

Democrats Eat Their Own (Usually) Because They Deserve It; Republicans On The Other Hand…
To every rule, there’s an exception. Andrew Cuomo is turning into one of those. The last time a prominent Democrat not named Bill Clinton faced charges of sexual impropriety of any sort was Al Franken. If Franken’s transgression had surfaced today instead of when it did, I have to wonder if Franken would resign now…

Dear American News Media: Even Villains Do Things For A Reason — Like, Say, Republicans…
Never mind how many times Donald Trump lies, I want a running total of how many time American news people wonder aloud while scratching their heads why the Republican Party continues to march in lock step with him. I bet the journalists are winning. If they scratch their heads any harder, all those journalists will…

The Correct Answer Is Men Need To Get The Hell Out Of The Way So Women Can FIX What Men Have Done
Seems our biology has caught up to us. Men have abused female biology forever and that abuse has brought the human species to a moment of absolute peril. Yes, I absolutely believe that had women been running the course of human events instead of men, we would be in a far, far different place than…

When Penises Attack
Let’s get naked about penises. They’re designed (as it were) to penetrate. For all our peacockery about cocks, a penis is nothing more than a DNA delivery nozzle. Glorifying a man’s pecker is as absurd as glorifying a garden hose when it’s the garden he’s “watering” that should get our respect.. Male design specs encourage…
