The Petting Zoo Bourgeoisie.

Who sucks more: corporations and uber-rich tax-cheats…or the nationalistic wealth fetishists who enable them? “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means […]

America, the public bathroom.

Psssssstt…the United States’ richest citizens don’t have any faith in the country’s future. And they’re only getting more fascist. Here we are. We’re all in line to use the john at this convenience store that, from the looks of it, contracted a case of syphilis. The little hallway in the back of the store leads […]

The 1% need a tax increase. Their souls cry out for it.

Sure, rich Americans tout the greatness of trickle-down economics. But deep down, the country’s biggest freeloaders are begging the masses to put a stop to their dishonesty. “We all too often have socialism for the rich and rugged free market capitalism for the poor.” ― Martin Luther King, Jr. Strange times. ‘Merica has got issues. […]

Holy crapsicles! I think Covid killed America’s exceptionalism.

It’s official: the country’s pandemic response failed. It failed everybody but rich people and corporations, I mean. Check out this Medium post, “American Passports Are Worthless Now.” Too sad. Too sad and wayyyy pathetic. If you want to get annoyed, click on this piece, “Jared Kushner, Trump’s Golf Buddy and McConnell’s In-Laws Cashed In on […]

Yes, willfully-ignorant lunkheads, people are not protesting black-on-black crime.

#BlueLivesMatter and #AllLivesMatter need to quit being obtuse about #BlackLivesMatter. This post goes out to the dense folk. The intentionally slow-witted. The pigheaded pinheads. The pinheaded pigheads as well. This demographic is filled with spite and they turned their intellect off so their brains won’t short-circuit. Deep thinkers they ain’t. Their mental activity happens at […]

Is America even qualified to celebrate the 4th of July?

America, Summer 2020: a mix of Neo-Nazi theatrics, out-of-control pandemics, and socialism-for-the-rich economics. “Nazis…I hate these guys.”             – Indiana Jones Nothing coincidental about this America First t-shirt design (displayed on the left) bearing an eerie resemblance to the Nazi Reichstadler. Nope. Nothing at all. American dudebros work themselves up into snicker-filled frenzies when […]

I bet that the citizens of early-1930s Germany would have worn masks.

Lotsa Nazi-talk in Donald Trump’s America. Too bad the people pushing for fascism and civil wars aren’t too bright. #realmenwearmasks has been trending on Twitter recently. So basically, the guys pushing for this “civil war” thingie also need others to pander to their insecurities if we want them to consider doing their part to slow […]

The intersection of Memory Lane and Flashback Avenue.

Check out my old employee bio page. Found this file on a thumb drive. Long story short: I got fired in July 2005. But I knew I was a goner beforehand. It’s surreal to look back at those months leading up to the end. One day, I was head-down in my cube trying to be […]

MAGA isn’t looking for a civil war. They just want to give everyone the stink-eye.

Attention world: my country is a fuckshow. But the 1% have it all under control. Posting this on the day of Donald Trump’s gigantic coronavirus exchange party…I mean…rally. Make no mistake: when they originally decided to schedule this racist shindig on Juneteenth in Tulsa, Oklahoma, they understood the significance of both the date and location. […]

Chickenhawks who think they’re drill sergeants.

The American Right cashed in its military cred forty years ago. Now it’s just militant. Posting this on the day after Colin Powell told Donald Trump to kiss off. The former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff declared that he will cast his vote for Joe Biden.  In response, the bootlickers of Keep America […]
