Bowen Craig 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
1) Hordes of zombie teenagers walking around, not talking to each other, staring into little blinking rectangles 2) A man claiming he was born the wrong gender, while not living in an insane asylum 3) Suburbanites walking around behind their dogs and collecting their poop in a bag 4) The news telling us to eat … Read more
The Biden administration seems to be doing everything politically possible to force Americans away from the internal combustion engine and into electric vehicles. Whether the Climate Change alarmists are right or wrong, this is still probably a noble goal, but is it a remotely feasible one? First off, the electric car is not the new … Read more
The news saying used to be “If it bleeds, it leads,” meaning that people like learning about violence and will probably read that story first anyway, so we might as well start off with the bloody stuff. This is why your local TV news broadcast is really just a crime report and the weather. Not … Read more
What ever happened to the once-popular notion of the customer always being right? That shit went out the door around 2004, didn’t it? Think about some iconic store from some hazy year in the early-20th century. Sears. You bought one of them newfangled refrigimerators that magically keep your food cold at Sears on your last … Read more
