Sorry for the lack of update yesterday. Sticking to this weekly schedule has been a bit of a challenge when a lot of my ideas for posts are satirical. For example, today I was thinking it might be funny to do a satirical post on America's overcrowded prisons and bloated justice system by suggesting that … Continue reading The Danger of Satire

Annual Politics Post – 2020
I have opinions on politics. My opinions are, depending on who you ask, divisive, silly, uncompromising, idealistic, and/or flat-out wrong. Yet I am compelled to share these ideas because I am just self-absorbed enough to think that someone out there wants to know them. To mediate this unfortunate compulsion, I'm only going to write one … Continue reading Annual Politics Post – 2020
Politics is Not the Solution: Or The Problem of Power
Right now there is a crisis in America, and I don't just mean the pandemic.
Concerns Regarding Disney’s buy-out of Fox
It's a simple enough concept. Power and trust have an inverse relationship, at least where the human race is concerned. This has been true in government, business, and religion with few exceptions.

Don't worry. … Continue reading So…Non-Fiction?
I’m Not a Liberal. I’m Just Polite.
I do not consider myself a liberal. Yet I support or am at least sympathetic towards many liberal causes. I think it's important to protect the environment. I think some government regulations on business is probably a good idea. I think the War on Christmas is bogus, and I support your right to identify with whatever … Continue reading I’m Not a Liberal. I’m Just Polite.
