Round and round and round it goes, where it stops, nobody knows. That's us. That's the sick game we choose to continue to play with our country and the lives of those in it. Gun Sight Roulette. Will it be... Continue reading

Just Another Day In Scare-adise

(Warning, if the word fuck offends you, take your clutched pearls and fainting couch elsewhere. I am raw, this is real, and the time for couching words is not now.) For the third time in less than a week, we... Continue reading

There Is No Bottom Till We Make One

Pearl clutching. In the face of this Trump era which began when he first started trading in birtherism (still waiting for his Hawaii investigators and what they have found!), to when he rode his corpulent ass down the Trump Tower... Continue reading

Sartre Was Right, Hell Is Other People

While working out last week, I found Ferris Bueller's Day Off on one of my streaming subscriptions. Aside from being a welcome throw back to my late teens, it is full of eminently quotable lines and lessons, even 33 years... Continue reading

I'll Take "She's Racist" For $200, Alex

They are everywhere. I suppose we have always known this. It's not like racism died in this country - no one with a brain ever thought that - it was simply pushed further into its sewery lair by society. But... Continue reading

Yesterday Was NOT American Idol

I watched both hearings yesterday. I have read the Mueller Report. My expectations going in were not for bombshell revelations, not for me, at least. But then that's what happens when YOU HAVE READ THE REPORT. You already know the... Continue reading

Mueller Hearings: The GOP Is A 4chan Board

As were millions of eyes this morning, in the states and abroad, mine were up bright and early to watch the 6+ hours of questions and answers as Robert Mueller finally vocalized for the public. The 400+ page report, 22... Continue reading

Hungering For Understanding

There is a very ugly stripe that runs through human beings, one especially prevalent these days. If something isn't MY reality, then it isn't reality at all. So why care? It is born of privilege. And we all have some... Continue reading

Gives Demon Seed A New Meaning

I am not a fan of organized religion - anyone who has been around this blog for a while knows this. I am not about group think, and my personality is simply not cut out to be a supplicant to... Continue reading

Rancid Food For Thought

The school lunchroom. We all have memories of mystery meat, grey hamburgers, and feeling a reason to live when the calendar showed PIZZA - that rectangular wonder of the plastic tray. We all also have memories of watching classmates worry... Continue reading

This Is Not OUR President

The shock is palpable. And we truly did not think we could be further shocked. The fear reaches to the core. And we did not think we could be more afraid. The shame is face warming. And our faces were... Continue reading
