In Their Defense, Corruption Just Comes “Naturally” To Conservatives
Where corruption’s concerned, both sides don’t do it because both sides can’t. They don’t have the means. Put aside political labels for a second. Ideology may inspire corruption but without the money and power to realize those inspirations, ideology is a nice car without an engine. Those with money and power have the tools required […]

Why Religious Hypocrites Are The WORST Hypocrites
When history looks back at our time, I suspect they’ll see it as a Golden Age of Corruption, Greed, Racism and Hypocrisy. The four horsemen of our modern apocalypse (to be sure, there are a few more horsemen riding with them – Misogyny, Bigotry and Ignorance). As bad as the other three are, Hypocrisy, though […]

Maybe There SHOULD Be A Red America And A Blue America
Apparently the Civil War solved nothing. That’s what happens when the side that loses the war ends up winning the peace that follows. Usually, it’s the winners who get to write a war’s history. In America’s case, the Civil War’s losers managed a very neat trick. They turned a war about slavery into a war […]

Alas, […]

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 […]

What IS “Freedom” Anyway?
“Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose” was Kris Kristofferson’s answer to the question (he wrote the song “Me And Bobby McGee”). I’m not sure I agree with Kris. I mean, sure, what he’s referencing is a certain kind of freedom – the one where circumstances box you in so you might as […]

An Ode To Durban Poison
I love me a good sativa. I love starting my day – even before that first sip of coffee – with a hit of something that will fill my head with focus. That’s what sativas do for me. Especially the first hit of the morning. Coffee jolts one awake. The caffeine buzz is like pure […]
