Dear Main Stream Media – No, Both Sides DON’T Do It
I’m dying to know. Which class is it in America’s Journalism Schools that’s confusing everyone? Which class is instructing American Journalists that if you can’t write anything else, fall back on ‘Well, both sides do it…!’? Whichever class it is, it’s screwing up American Journalism to the point where American Journalism is HELPING undermine the…

Why Decency Effin’ Matters
Decency is now officially as dead as irony. That’s pretty damned dead. In American Politics, Decency died the day Lee Atwater went to work. Lee Atwater’s the dude on the right — keeping company with Paul Manafort & Roger Stone. During the 1980’s & 1990’s, Atwater ran campaigns for Ronald Reagan & George Bush before running…

‘MAGICAL THINKING’ isn’t ‘Thinking’, It’s BULLSHIT; That’s Not A Revelation…
There’s a phrase I’m fond of saying here: “BACK IT UP OR IT’S BULLSHIT”. I appreciate that it’s just easier to let other people think for you — especially where the Bigger Questions In Life are concerned. Where did ‘This’ all come from? Why are we here? What is the point? ‘Cos god’ is what…

Evil’s Too Smart To ‘Billboard Itself’; That’s Why It Births Itself In Banality…

Most Christians Only Like The Bible For ‘The Good Parts’ Anyway…
I rail often here about Christians and their insincerity. Yeah, sure — low hanging fruit and all but — but even low hanging fruit tastes good and has some nutritional value. So I’ll pick it. Simple fact: Most American Christians know virtually nothing about their professed faith. They’ve NEVER read ‘The Bible’. Most have never…

Hey, America — Next Time, Let’s Take Better Care of Our Democracy, Okay?
There’s a Joni Mitchell song — pretty well known — with a lyric that goes something like this — They paved paradise And put up a parking lot With a pink hotel, a boutique And a swinging hot spot Don’t it always seem to go That you don’t know what you’ve got ‘Till it’s gone…
