Bowen Craig We’re going to look behind the political bullshit at the real underlying foundations, the real stuff. TV news anchors rant about immigration a lot. Politicians from both sides bemoaning too little or too much immigration in a predictable line-dance. Old dudes at the country club complain about it so often you’ve got to wonder if … Read more
Teenagers’ being stupid isn’t new. They’ve always been stupid. You were stupid too when you were sixteen. You might not admit it, and you definitely didn’t admit it back then, but you were. We all were. As far as I can see, the only real difference between now and then is that, for some reason … Read more
No, Alice, it’s Mainly “Disowning Projection” — the Dems ARE bringing us to the Brink of Fascism, because They’re Acting like the Fascists While I agree with Alice that Fascism is somewhat “on the rise,” I take issue with her take on where that Fascism is actually coming from. The reason the “news” calls Trump … Read more
Like most middle-age men in America, this whole explosion of transgenderism has taken me by surprise. Even if it is mainly an internet-phenom designed to keep us arguing about politics so we don’t notice the bigger, evil government stuff, it’s still freaking fascinating. Who could’ve predicted it? Yes, it’s new. Yes, it’s full of too … Read more
I vaguely remember a movie from 20 or 30 years ago called “Grizzly Man,” wherein a deluded animal lover decided to ditch it all and go and live among the bears. I believe he moved to Alaska, but it could’ve been anywhere where bears roam free and humans rightly fear to tread. This depressed idiot, … Read more
The Bad News is that 2/3 of Congress is Not on Our Side, the Good News is We’re still Technically Their Bosses I am so unbelievably disappointed in America right now. So very disappointed in the people who are supposedly looking out for our best interests. It is becoming clearer by the minute that around … Read more
It all comes back to the movie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The first one, anyway. The new Timothy Chalamet one is just bad, and the tone of the Johnny Depp remake may have been closer to the original book, but it sucks next to the classic Gene Wilder 1980’s one. And that’s the problem. … Read more
As a guy, I’m motivated to write this one mainly because I’m sick of almost, but not quite, seeing nipples on screen. They’re so close, mere inches away, I can just barely glimpse the edges of the areola, and then nothing. Damn you, Hollywood! However, the covering up of nipples in the bedroom, right after … Read more
I read one of those One Hundred Years Ago prediction articles earlier today. They’re fun to check out, if only for the “Dear God, we were so wrong. Why do we ever listen to predictions?” aspect of them. One of the predictions from 1924 was that in 2024 there would be no war. Humanity will … Read more
Enjoy our empire in decline…it’s generally the fun part. Assuming we ever actually had the moral high ground, it’s now gone. And I say, “good riddance.” It’s a position that blinds you to reality, confuses honest diplomacy, and allows smugness to reign supreme. Nobody likes deluded arrogance, and that’s basically been our default position. I’m … Read more
