With Eloquence: Booker T. Washington
Remember when we as a people wrote and spoke with informed eloquence? Yeah, me neither… But I was reminded such a fairy-tale time did, in fact, exist when watching former senator and Secretary of Defense William Cohen introduce retire Marine Corps General James “Mad Dog” Mattis to the Senate Armed Services Committee prior to its … Continue reading With Eloquence: Booker T.

Poetry is for Girls
I may occasionally write the junk, but rarely do I read it. And it is not because I don’t like it that I rarely read it… It’s because it, the really good stuff anyway, is so durn hard to read. I’m talking Poetry here… Poetry with a big, bold capital P. And it is so … Continue reading Poetry is for Girls

Realm of the Benevolent and Its Loss of Hope
More weird, rambling, forgotten writing recently found while rooting ’round the cluttered Draft files folder. I don’t remember writing it, ergo, I have no idea why it was written. However, as it appears to be a philosophical dilemma regarding torture, and, as torture has been one of the Freak Show promotional devices, I guess that … Continue reading Realm of the Benevolent and Its Loss of Hope
On today’s Freak Show, or as some call it, President-elect Trump’s Press Conference

The Political Semantics of Designating Evil Properly
So, I was cleaning out my dashboard’s cluttered “Draft” folder when I happened upon this article that, apparently, I, with my lingering chemo-clouded brain, forgot to post after penning it so long ago. Because I’m lazy and don’t feel like writing something fresh, I’m posting it now. To be honest (my Spidey senses always tingles … Continue reading The Political Semantics of Designating Evil Properly

So there I was just minding my own business…

Fake News is so Poe-thetic
I read an Edgar Allan Poe story today entitled The Angel of the Odd. It’s a fun, fast, Kafka-meets-Twain, easy to forget kind of read. But what is most memorable to me about the story is that it is entirely set up around the protagonists drunken dismay over what we would call the “fake news” … Continue reading Fake News is so Poe-thetic →
