Liberal used to mean open-minded, interested in the welfare of everyone, eager to help the downtrodden, all that gooey good stuff. Liberalism used to mean hope, faith in a better tomorrow, and giving everyone a seat at the table. A few years ago the word liberal went bat-shit crazy and now liberals are actively touting … Read more
They’ve been called a lot of different names over the years: ad guys, mad men, spin doctors, Satan’s little helpers. And those are just a few. These are the people who tell us what to buy, where to buy it, and how it will make us cooler and more attractive to the opposite sex. They … Read more
Your morning bathroom routine, much like your ear hair, is something that never stops growing until you die. By my reckoning, this process, when fully explored over the course of an average American lifetime, slowly grows, then dips greatly, then begins its true slow rise from a process that takes roughly ten minutes every morning … Read more
You DO have a lane, you know. Science is taking over everything. Even theology. Ten years ago while getting an MTS I noticed articles published in theology along the lines of miracles can’t exist because science says they are not possible.

It began The League of Women Moaters, a traveling moat upkeep operation, which suffered mightily to stay profitable, mainly due to America’s severe lack of castles. Next it became The League of Women Motorists, and was taunted so mercilessly that it quickly … Read more
Two Wisconsin gas stations are suing a local competitor for selling gas at TOO LOW A PRICE. For real, this is actually happening, at a time when everyone is overpaying for gas, mainly because of opportunism. Apparently there is a law in the Badger State, Wisconsin’s Unfair Sales Act, that prevents stores from selling products … Read more
America’s Cable Guys’ Strange Power Trip I was getting out of my car in my apartment complex parking lot and I saw a cable van. I don’t mean a van made of cables, though that would be cooler and, this being Athens, with our art-cars, not entirely outside of the realm of possibility. I don’t … Read more
God does not have a gender. HE’S not a dude. SHE’S not a chick. THEY’RE not a transgender person of indiscriminate genital-orientation. Period. We anthropomorphize everything. Cartoon turtles on TV ads lecturing their co-workers about the value of certain auto insurance policies. We describe interlocking building materials as having “the male part” and “the female … Read more
The Intellectual Climate on the Dangers of the Vaccine Running rampant in public belief is that the Covid vaccines are perfectly safe, and of course, anyone refusing them is an idiot or an unscientific dolt, unpatriotic, selfish and not caring for their fellow man. These dolts insanely insist on their “rights” even if it harms … Read more
