Our News Media STILL Can’t Handle Donald Trump
I’ve no doubt that KRISTEN WELKER, newly appointed host of NBC’s creaky, tired, old MEET THE PRESS, is good at something. Journalism however ain’t it. Even when she was just a regular member of NBC News’ reporting corps, Kristen regularly demonstrated that she was a mediocre little girl trying to fill a skilled, grown woman’s…

Dear American News Media: Not Every Point Of View Has A “Point”
Opinions. Everybody’s got one. But, not all opinions are created equal. Not every point of view has a point. For instance – a not-very-bright ten year old’s opinion about world affairs (or a libertarian’s) will likely lack nuance. Same as a Republican’s. Our news media has decided it can’t judge anyone’s opinion – no matter…

America Is Drowning In Bullshit
One of America’s two political parties has no problem hitching their wagon to a literal “Big Lie” (having already hitched their wagon to Trump despite KNOWING he was compromised by Vladimir Putin. Almost everything about Donald Trump is bullshit – starting with the idea that he’s been successful at anything other than bullshitting people. Trump…

How The Bible SHOULD Have Been Written
(Note: one in a continuing series). Today’s Episode ADAM & EVE: The Scene: God says he created everything including Adam and a nice place (the Garden Of Eden) for him to live in. He’s filled the garden with fruits and vegetables and animals – everything Adam might want. “It’s all yours, kid,” God tells Adam,…

Why Do I Call This Blog What I Call It? Because Bullsh*t Nearly Killed Me, That’s Why!
Devout atheist that I am, I consider myself “born again’. I have seen with my own eyes the havoc bullshit can cause in both my daily life and over the whole length of it. I bear witness to bullshit’s remarkable power to convince us that it is truth and truth is bullshit. Actually, bullshit’s much…

I Grew Up In The Shadow Of The Holocaust And I Feel That Shadow Growing
According to Donald Trump, “Jews” are a “nationality”. That’s not the first time a country’s leader has started down that road. Throughout most of Europe’s history, Jews were kept apart. In Venice, Italy, they put them on their own little islands and called that area — where the Jews lived — “ghetto”. That’s where the…

I Have A Feeling THESE 20’s Are About To “Really” Roar
The Roaring 1920’s brought economic prosperity to the Western world — until a lot of that prosperity turned out to be phony, crony capitalism — and the world plunged into the Great Depression. These 20’s — the 2020’s — are about to roar as well — but for a whole different reason. The underlying cause…

Will The “Real Christians” Please Identify Themselves? The “Fake Christians” Are Confusing The Rest Of Us
With tongue planted firmly in cheek, I like to call atheism “the true faith”: the faith that faith is pointless. Point of reference: one thing you never see atheists do is call atheists with whom they disagree “heretics” or “traitors to the faith”. That’s one of the luxuries of having no faith. One’s life (where…

Are Republicans Hard Wired To Be Mediocre?
There’s a moment at the end of the movie “Amadeus” where the character Salieri — the court composer to the Hapsburg Empire — looks to the priest weeping in front of him. The priest had come to hear Salieri’s confession but got way more than that. Salieri has just confessed to, more or less, murdering…
