At a Website run by a conservative Christian guy I know, one of the ads was titled “Celebrities Who Go Topless for the Sake of Art.” Of course I had to click the link, being a fan of both toplessness and art. The Web page was interesting for lots of reasons, the main one being…
Calm down and and watch Gary
June 30, 2023
Today the Supreme Court decided on Burwell, Secretary of Health and Human Services [HHS] et al v Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. et al. The histrionics over the decision is really beyond moronic, but it’s sadly what I’ve come to expect from our increasingly juvenile, teeth-gnashing, pop-eyed-with-rage culture. All I want to say is calm down…
In opposition to the thundering herd
June 29, 2023
Sometimes it’s hard to remain optimistic. It seems like everyone is in a race to the bottom. What I’ve discovered about myself is that the worse people behave, the more import it is for me to stand against the thundering herd.

But what does it say about YOU?
June 24, 2023
Yesterday I changed. Permanently. It’s neither a good nor a bad change. However, it was necessary. I didn’t intend to change; June 23, 2014, was going to be just another day. But something happened that set in motion a whole series of thoughts and conclusions, and by nightfall I was a different person. I would…
Don’t BE a tool; USE your tools
June 23, 2023
Our press is absolutely worthless. Journalists are partisan hacks, but even worse than that, they’re lazy, credulous fools. Don’t let them influence your worldview. There are tons of tools you can use to painlessly disprove the lies and fantasies we’re being fed. Something called The Blaze recently posted a piece titled “See the Quintessentially American…
