For anyone who thinks impeaching Trump at this point would only be symbolic at best and partisan theatrics at worst, here are a few things to consider. Yes, the whole idea is completely symbolic. It’s symbolic of who our elected representatives in Congress really are, where their loyalties truly lie, and what ideals and values […]
As an American, at least on a personal level, the three most traumatic events to affect the nation in my lifetime have been the Columbine school shooting, 9/11, and yesterday’s failed insurrection. While terrible, those first two never made me feel quite as numb as the one yesterday. The reason for that is the first […]
In the days since our latest mass shooting, there’s been a noticeable difference in the news coverage it has received. For those paying attention, the coverage of Virginia Beach and recent events of a similar nature have begun to show a gradual change in the sort of media attention they receive. Anyone who’s paid any […]
The hardcore Trumpsters’ zeal at defending the man with small hands never ceases to amaze. We’re to a point where they now take just as much offense to any criticism or joke about him, as the Donald himself does. Not insult, mind you, just any off-handed or snarky remark.

With the world the way it is these days, it can be difficult to determine just what is and isn’t appropriate when it comes to professing your love for that special someone. Fortunately, I’m here to help with my offering of […]
Updated February 10, 2018: Due to some limitations (I’m too cheap to pay for an upgraded account), I was initially unable to publish this post with the running sidebar commentary that was intended to accompany it. For my own running internal dialogue as I was working on this project, check out Dialogues with a “Real […]
Let me begin, by getting right to the point and saying… FUCK MARY TYLER MOORE!!! I know, it’s probably a little too soon for such statements, but stay with me because I’ve got a point here.

So it’s been a while since the last round of absurdities, and that means there’s a lot of catching up to do. Since last time, the holidays have come and gone, and hopefully most of you didn’t get one of those dreaded Hickory Farms gift baskets. Those really are the gifts that truly keep on […]
