The whole point of being a cat is to find a decent place to nap On a cushion or a window sill – better still a human lap To lay and clean and preen; keep you mesmerized until your bladder intervenes This is my lap of luxury: Not one cat, not two cats, but three! […]
In the absence of any actual policies, the GOP has chosen instead to promote every unqualified, brain-damaged wannabe fascist they can find to public office. Former NFL star, wife-beater and serial philanderer Herschel Walker is a perfect example of this strategy, but he is certainly not the only one. The Republican nominee for the US […]
Jan van Eyck’s THE ANNUNCIATION [1434-36] and the MERODE ALTARPIECE [1425-28] by Robert Campin [with the help of an unknown assistant] have many similarities in both subject and content, yet there are several other aspects of the paintings which are unique. The subject in both works is essentially the same: the Annunciation from the biblical […]
A recent article in The Guardian [‘Bring that beat back: why are people in their 30s giving up on music?’ by Daniel Dylan Wray] highlighted research which purportedly show that as people today reach their thirties, music becomes less important in their lives.

“President” Joe Biden’s measly ten thousand dollar student forgiveness program doesn’t go nearly far enough to actually fix the student debt crisis.

To no one’s surprise, the rogue Supreme Court came to yet another radical decision this week when it decided 6-3 to overturn Roe v Wade. The highest court in the USA is now governed not by The Constitution – but by the fairy tales in some 2,000 year old book. The three most recent appointees […]
Hey, hi. I’m an intergalactic space traveler and I just have a few things I’d like to say to the people of Earth. First of all, I want you to know that there are millions of people just like me out there zooming around the universe in all sorts of spacecraft. It’s relatively easy once […]
There will be much said and little done by the time the investigations into “what went wrong” with the police response into the Uvalde School shooting is over.
