White Trash… by Nancy Isenberg
Given Trump’s success, this book’s timing couldn’t be any better since they were a major factor in the outcome and were lumped in with the “White Working Class.” For starters, when does the term White Trash really begin? As hinted by the … Continue reading
It’s gonna’ be another shitty four years
I often try to keep politics off my site but…Jeez Louise, the American people never cease to amaze me in their stupidity. We’ve endured a B-movie star who almost started a couple nuclear wars, then a sociopathic fratboy who did … Continue reading
Jack Chick is officially dead…
…but his brain and heart died decades ago. Most of you all are probably asking who this turdburglar was and why am I speaking ill of the dead. Well, he was the primary person behind these incredibly ignorant and hateful … Continue reading
Written with his own pooh!
Allegedly this was spotted in the remote Houston ‘burb of Conroe (the city is metastasizing so much around it, 40 miles away is a suburb in Texas). I guess the driver felt his message needed something bigger than a bumper … Continue reading
Another reason why Austin isn’t “Texas”
Texas joined the stampede of idiocy by passing a law to say it’s OK to carry guns around in public. Their flawed thinking goes along these lines: Mass shootings will be prevented because “good guys” will be armed to dispatch the … Continue reading
Farewell Gawker.com
The gossip site shuts down today since Univision had no interest in purchasing it alongside the sister sites. Meanwhile, piece-of-crap Hulk Hogan and enemy of democracy Peter Thiel are beside themselves with delight. Fear not, assholes like those two will … Continue reading
Good luck Larry Wilmore
Friday night I watched the last episode of The Nightly Show courtesy of a DVR. I’m rather bummed over Comedy Central canceling the comedy/panel/talk show. Nightly may not have had the same voice as The Colbert Report or The Daily Show but Larry and his … Continue reading
Socialism strikes and succeeds again!
The winning streak my credit union has been on has run so long I can’t remember when they started handing out dividends. Unlike a bank, whenever my credit union turns a profit, the board shares the result with us shareholders! … Continue reading
Trumbo: Must See
You may not know Dalton Trumbo by name but you’ll know the movies he wrote the screenplays to: Roman Holiday, Spartacus, Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo, Exodus and Kitty Foyle. He was also a highly-paid screenwriter whose career was devastated by the Red Scare … Continue reading
Patton Oswalt ranked the GOP debaters in D&D terms
Comedian Patton Oswalt decided to endure the pain of the latest GOP circle jerk, never mind that the election is a year away but I also loved how it was also his middle finger to fantasy football fanatics. The latter … Continue reading
Happy Native Americans AND Columbus Day
For the last several decades, it’s popular to rag on Columbus Day. Why? Probably a handful of reasons yet I have a counterpoint to all the Politically Correct assholes who go on and whine and whine. You wouldn’t be here … Continue reading
Italian #34: Franco Grillini
If you’ve ever followed Italy’s national politics, especially after World War II, they appear to be chaotic compared to America’s. Unlike our entrenched Congress which oddly is always in campaign mode, the Italian Parliament (Parlamento) averages an election a year … Continue reading
Why vote for the lesser evils?
Unlike Trump, Palpatine doesn’t need to explain how his new policies are going to work to Wolf Blitzer and the numerous, vitriolic Barbie dolls from Faux News. He also dissolved the Senate, I’m confident he’ll “get things done” by dissolving Congress … Continue reading
Good night and good luck Jon, thanks for it all
Tonight is the conclusion of Jon Stewart’s run on The Daily Show which will be greatly missed not just by Libruls and Socialists but by people who aren’t factually challenged. Despite how much Jon skewered the Republicans, Faux News, Conservatives and … Continue reading
Merchants of Doubt by Naomi Oreskes & Erik M Conway
Ignore the documentary and take the time to read this painful book which was well-researched. You may not be able to get through Merchants easily, I often found myself putting it down for a two-day intervals due to the rage I felt. … Continue reading
