The Dow is climbing. So are mortality rates.

The 1% and corporations need a tax increase. The numbers don’t lie.  Wow and big-whoopity-whoop.  After a December 2019 where manufacturers cut 12,000 jobs, the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit 29,000 today. It’s almost like the two numbers relate to each other in some roundabout way or something.  Across the land, high-priced divorced lawyers sit […]

Aw yeah. The ammosexuals have war-boners.

The GOP: formerly the party of the military, now the party of the chickenhawk. These are weird times to be a peacenik. Though I don’t see me changing my ways. I share a commonality with the NRA chickenhawks and the ammosexuals who fetishize billionaires: serving in the military isn’t our style.  However, the new decade does appear […]

In cyberspace, no one can hear you scream.

Why the Right hates communicating on the Internet.  To open this post, I’d like to give a reading from the Dead Kennedys: Ten guys jump one, what a man You fight each other, the police state wins Stab your backs when you trash our halls Trash a bank if you’ve got real balls … Nazi […]

2016: white spite found its white knight.

Who else did nazi this decade coming? Remember the “You didn’t built that!” hubbub during the Obama years?  Insecure White Americans dangled teabags from their faces and deliberately misinterpreted the black president’s statement about government helping industry, then challenged the rest of America to a fight. Back when it happened, I remember thinking that the supremacists’ […]

America will so rock at this fascism thing. Trust me: I released four books during the 2010s.

An end-of-the-decade salute to the non-readers who helped me get a feel for Germany in the early 1930s. You know what? I need to open this post with some love.  At the beginning of the decade, I committed to writing and doing so causes a person to freak out a lot. Fortunately, many folks I’ve […]

Fear fueled the 2000s. Insecurity ignited the 2010s.

America is too unsure of itself to have a black President. This decade proved it. You’ll have to forgive me. I get a little protective of this concept called fear. I wrote a dark comedy about the strain of fear during the first decade of the millennium and my mind might have warped in the process. […]

The 2010s: billionaires bitched, their racist bitches died off early.

What a decade for American Exceptionalism and Trickle-Down Economics, huh?  These days, I enjoy reading articles about how the 1% is freaking out.  Duh.  Attention fat-cats: by cutting back on your shameless greed-mongering, your stoking of white supremacy in order to profit from it, your fascist agenda—guess what? Your intense feelings of pants-poopiness will lessen. […]

Before the 2020s begin, can we just admit that Osama bin Laden won?

The purpose of 9/11 was to unravel our country, not fly planes into buildings and kill thousands. I’m posting this on the day that testimony from Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher’s teammates went public.  Here is how either Russia or China could majorly fuck the United States without resorting to violence: pony up funds to produce […]
