Maybe I should just give up SM and blog….but what would I write about then? 🙂  First there was this video: http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/flashback-mike-pence-delivers-entire-speech-denying-evolution …to which I made the following comment: **-sigh- yes, the logic of these people looks something like: “Look, THAT PLANE IS *FLYING* <audible sneer> *CLEARLY* GRAVITY IS A HOAX!!!”** The above is because … More Here we go again with my too long for social media comments…

Can’t be controlled is a bit of an overstatement, even if, by some miraculous happenstance (IE he may actually BE the anti-Christ) he does get into the White House, he will find, like every president before him, that he has a lot less rope than he thought he was going to have. The president can’t just … More For any who believe Trump is a good choice because he “can’t be controlled”…

Or… Denial, it’s not just a river in Egypt anymore! 🙂 Yes yes, I’ve read all about the Georgia Guide-stones, in several places (skepticism aside, they ARE a fascinating topic, I just don’t read more into them than is actually there). I’ve seen the various TV shows, the Brad Meltzer thing was about the most … More Okay I shall indulge (another social media comment gone horribly awry)

Ah yes, the 80s, let me preface this by saying I am in no way advocating any teenage aberrant behavior, that said, by way of stark contrast…(we’ll get back to that)….

Well, if you’re one of my non-existent readership, this is another too long for social media reply, that with any luck at all I’ll get around to turning into an actual essay at some point, but for now…. (DISCLAIMER: This is not a personal attack, please don’t view it as such 😉 ) $21 trillion … More This was just too long for social media (again)

If I actually had a readership, I would use this space to apologize for the preponderance of essays written by other people I have been publishing, almost exclusively. One might rightfully be led to assume, as a result, a lack of literary or analytic skills on my part, I assure you, one would be mistaken. … More The Mad Violence of Casino Capitalism

(with a few facts taken from one of my other blog posts, why  re-invent the wheel?) Okay, do I really want to indulge this? Probably not, but, oh what the hell…. To begin with, as a general rule, I tend to question the validity of arguments written in mostly caps (sorry, just a weird quirk … More Yet another ‘too long for social media’ reply…
