America 2028 Movie Reviews, 6 Also posted at Medium. Previous America 2028 reviews.  A giant helping of heartwarming cutesiness, topped off with the perfect amount of schmaltz to fit these modern times under the rule of the all-great and all-wise President Eric Trump.  President Eric the Great!

America 2028 Movie Reviews, 6 A giant helping of heartwarming cutesiness, topped off with the perfect amount of schmaltz to fit these modern times under the rule of the all-great and all-wise President Eric Trump.  President Eric the Great! President Eric the Wise! All hail President Eric! My previous reviews included a war movie, a […]

ID photos should look stupid.

The Constitution of the United States of America states: Any type of identification document picture of oneself should not be a photogenic picture of oneself. (Hey, if Fox News-watchers can make up passages from the Constitution, so can I.) Man. I wish I still had a copy of the driver’s license that preceded the second […]

Have the 1% turned you Russian yet?

America changed in the years since Wall Street made their power grab…excuse me…the Great Recession occurred. I also blog at Medium. *** “Be firm, Russia loves to feel the whip, it’s their nature.” —Czarina Alexandra Romanov, the last Empress of Russia The above quote came from a letter that the Czarina wrote to her husband, […]

So Facebook slaps me with a 30-day ban for using the term “white trash”. Would “caucasian garbage” be an acceptable alternative?

World: we need to figure out how to talk about the people who embrace institutionalized cruelty.  I am writing this blog post on the weekend that Donald promised an ICE roundup. As of this posting, nothing has happened yet. But some Americans have been foaming at the mouth thinking about brown-skinned people suffering. The concentration […]

Bros: America’s new Jews, part III.

Anti-Semitism is on the rise. Along with the worship of tax-evading hedge funders, techbros and idle rich who hoard money. A continuation of I and II.  Gotta hand it to the finance guys and other passive income earners of America. Got a gaggle of whiteboys who idolize this crowd for outsourcing jobs, slashing benefits and […]

America is engaged in a cold war with itself. It held a third-rate military parade to prove the point.

July 4th, 2019. America honored General Washington for securing the airports. Also posted at Medium.  History will look back at the previous Fourth of July weekend like this: One side lacked the power to prevent the other side from blocking off DC to throw a military parade for itself, while this other side did not […]

Bros: America’s New Jews, Part II.

From the looks of it, the investor class embraces cheapness and money-grubbing in ways that seem so…so…the stereotype rhymes with “newish”. A continuation of Part I.  Laying low this weird-ass Fourth of July Weekend, dogsitting a cool dog and watching weird-ass military parades, also The Last Czars. (Hats off, BTW.) I hope your 4th weekend […]

Bros: America’s new Jews.

When one group increasingly displays the worst stereotypes of a group that they also increasingly hate.    Being a cheapskate is the ‘in’ thing for today’s white dudes. Yessireebubba.  From billionaires to the brokest of the broke, America’s caucasians glamorize nickling, diming and penny-pinching more and more.  Who drives the popularity of the Prosperity Gospel? […]

American Whitefolks’ Current Mood: Jumpy.

Fourth of July Weekend, 2019: airports, earthquakes, racism, milkshakes. Before I begin, gotta take a moment and remember General Washington’s takeover of the airports. If this hadn’t happened, where would ‘Merica be today? So it is. So it shall be. Goooooooo God. And now, before reigniting my snark, I will also switch gears and say we […]
