Politics is about Hate!
I hate the internet right now. Everyone is a political commentator. Apparently that involves vitriol. Pure poison spewing hate. It is no longer possible in this age to have a civil discussion about politics. People believe that their views are the correct and most logical views and feel a need... Continue reading

Knucklehead (2010) Movie Review
Image via Wikipedia Movie reviewers tend to look at movies from the point of view of someone looking at art.

Mad Chick Magnet
The girls on the train are always hitting on me. Today, when the train stopped suddenly, one fell into me. Sometimes a girl will sit beside me or stand in front of me. One girl sat across from me and pretended to read her book. Can’t fool me. Another one... Continue reading
