• When You Consider How Many People Now Drive “Stoned” And How Many Accidents There AREN’T…

  It’s not exactly shocking that exactly none of the big fears opponents of cannabis legalization predicted came true. The biggest: Western Civilization did not fall. Oh, Western Civ may yet go a-swirling down the plumbing of History, but, if and when we do, it won’t be cannabis that caused it. Greed maybe – and bucketloads […]

• The Republicans Aren’t Acting “Politically”, They’re Acting CRIMINALLY For Political Reasons

  A big, big part of “Both Sides Do It’s” destructiveness flows from its cynical insistence that every single one of us behaves exactly the same and for the exact same reasons. “Both Sides Do It” journalism assumes that every American is entirely self-interested first and foremost – that we all behave like white, Christian men […]

• 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 […]

• “Putin Pays Rohrbacher And Trump – Swear To God!” Should Have Been The END Of Donald Trump

  When the complete history of our era finally gets written, I betcha one of the things future generations shake their heads at is how we allowed Donald Trump to be a free man for most of his life. Keep in mind, that history will be written long after every treasonous Republican who enabled, supported or […]

• Vladimir Putin Is Waaaaay More Russia’s “Head Gangster” Than Russia’s “Head Of State”

  Only in America – in America’s news media – is Vladimir Putin any sort of “legitimate head of state”. But then, for context, America’s news media still thinks of (and treats) the Republican Party as legitimate actors in American politics. Donald Trump has handed our press not merely a smoking gun, but a smoking thermonuclear […]

• Is Vlad Putin Auditioning To Be The Next Bond Villain?

  Like it or not, world, we’re gonna have a new – and very different – James Bond. It goes without saying that our new Bond is gonna need new Bond Villains to match his/her/their/its particular newness. Gone are the Bloefelds of yesteryear! Forget about the Dr No’s and the Goldfingers. They’re cute but, in the […]

• Hey, White People, Go Back Where YOU Came From!

  Here’s the biggest open secret there is: the thing driving America’s national crisis to its boiling point is racism. In America, that only means one thing: white people being racist toward literally everyone else. Our problem isn’t Black people hating on Asian people, Asian people hating on Latinos, Latinos hating on Jews or Jews hating […]

• 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 […]

• Why Do Republicans Insist On Behaving Exactly Like Slave Masters?

  Never mind permanent minority rule, if the Republican Party could really have its way with America? They’d bring back slavery. That’s even more than they already have. In a number of disturbing ways, slavery really never ended in America. It shape shifted. Slavery, at its core, is stolen labor. The whole point of having a […]

• Republicans & The Best Stateroom On The Titanic

  Sane people can never quite grok how someone will always show up to place a million to one bet on something preposterous on the pure hope that “it could happen”. Those bets never pay off and are never going to. Republicans keep betting that the Titanic – having already hit the iceberg and begun taking […]
