USA: THE WORST OF EVERYTHING!

The main reason so many EU countries have strong economies and a better quality of life than the USA is due to the compatibility between labor unions and corporate management. In America we have an adversarial relationship between the corporate State and blue collar workers – and what’s left of the unions. CEOs can make […]

LIFE OF BRIAN

Organized religion is predicated on finding things NOT FUNNY. Humor and religion simply don’t mix. But you can’t control the minds of cynical, critical thinkers – and having a healthy sense of humor is a big part of critical thinking. It’s the same for all authoritarian systems, though: once the masses start laughing at you, […]

Coachella 2019

Coachella 2019 looks pretty crappy to me. Okay, I’m an old fogey, but I scanned through the line-up and all of the online pics from weekend one and there was only one picture of a musician actually playing an instrument. Do any pop acts actually play instruments anymore? And what’s with the K-Pop shit? So […]

Evangelicals

Evangelicals love tRump because they think he’ll usher in the Apocalypse. That’s why they’re so willing to overlook his habitually immoral and sinful behavior and the fact that he’s obviously just paying lip service to Christianity – or Judaism, for that matter. The anti-LGBT and anti-women stuff is just icing on the cake; and tRump […]

Following the mass shootings at two Christchurch mosques that killed 50 people, New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced that all military-style semi-automatic weapons, assault rifles and high-capacity magazines will now be banned in that country. “On 15 March our history changed forever. Now our laws will too,” Ardern said at a press conference in […]

from now on

When you first came to me I was holding on Dangling by a thread Losing my grip Starting to slip Confusion filled my head Remember the time I was so bitter You saved my life After a while I stopped holding out And listened to my heart Finding a way to Live for today Enlightenment […]

Venezuela: the real story

WE WANT THEIR OIL. That’s the real story. Venezuelan President Maduro has accused the USA of responsibility for the nationwide blackout which has affected the country for five days now. This is an incredible, virtually unprecedented cyber-attack. It is also safe to say it is the work of the CIA. In any case, one would […]

NAKED ATTRACTION

So, there’s this TV show in Britain called NAKED ATTRACTION. It’s a dating gameshow which features full frontal nudity. In graphic detail. It premiered on Channel 4 in July 2016 and it’s hosted by this randy lady called Anna Richardson. The show incorporates close-ups of genitalia and other body features and tattoos with frank discussions […]

Some thoughts upon my return from London

I was not disappointed. As dysfunctional as the UK’s government is, it is clear that they at least pretend to care about their citizens and their democracy and their culture…unlike the USA, which is openly contemptuous of its own people. London is the center of a truly multi-cultural society, encompassing hundreds of cultures and value […]
