CROP CIRCLES

Most casual observers think the crop circle phenomenon is something out of an episode of the old X files TV show or some cheesy Hollywood movie. They would be correct on both counts. But that is certainly not the end of the story. Not by a long shot. The X files actually featured an episode […]

xmas memories

Growing up in Southern California, the xmas holidays were always a pretty depressing time for me because we never got any snow and we never got to have a ‘white Christmas.’ December in Riverside isn’t that much different from June; the weather was pretty much the same ole thing all year long; year after year… […]

PYRRHIC Victory

Th 2020 presidential election has given the world quite an insight into US “democracy” and all of its many defects. Any system which allows the loser to be the winner is seriously flawed. There is an immediate need for an independent electoral commission to prevent the anti-democratic antics we are currently seeing, including voter suppression; […]

FALLOUT

People experiencing the fallout from COVID-19 are just learning what poor people in America have known for quite some time: that they are totally expendable. Not only to their government, but to their friends, co-workers and neighbors who managed to hang onto their jobs. Many folks were forced to return to unsafe workplaces rather than […]

RADIO GAGA

One of the things I miss about growing up in the Los Angeles area in the 70s was the quality of FM RADIO. The music played daily by legendary DJs like B.Mitchell Reed, Jim Ladd and Rodney Bingenheimer was the soundtrack of my youth.

The correct pronunciation of “Missouri” is “MISERY.” Whatever you call it, it must be said that Missouri is one of THE MOST fucked up states in the Union. It is certainly one of the most corrupt, unethical and […]

THE BEFORE TIME

These are but a few examples of what life used to be like in THE BEFORE TIME. I never thought I’d be looking back at the 1970s as the HALCION DAYS of my youth. At the time it seemed like to most boring decade ever to be alive. Even though I wasn’t old enough to […]

DEATH OF A NATION

Several years ago a pivotal study by Professors Martin Gilens and Benjamin Page looked at more than 20 years’ worth of data to answer one simple question: does Congress represent the will of the people? To no one’s shock, the answer was a resounding NO. Their study, Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, […]

Dumbest people on earth!

Any logical, critically thinking human being must draw the conclusion that Donald tRump wants as many people to die from coronavirus as possible. Based on the current kakistocracy’s refusal to issue any nation-wide directives to help prevent the spread of the virus – let alone track it or trace it – we must come to […]
