The Day That Justice Died I don’t mean to tell you that I told you so, but, man, I freakin’ told you so. When Republicans literally stole a Supreme Court seat in the wake of Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s passing, I told you that it would have vast, wide-ranging implications for decades to come. I told […]
The 2024 Election Might Look Better Than It Seems
The 2024 Election May Look Better Than It Seems Just the other day a friend of mine asked me what I thought Trump’s chances were of winning the presidency later this year if he is not criminally convicted of charges prior to the election. First, I had to remind them that I completely blew the […]
Make the World a Better Place
Make the World a Better Place “What is success? To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a […]
Unconditional Love is NOT Unconditional Praise
Unconditional Love is Not Unconditional Praise Several years back now, I had a student who proceeded to give one of the absolute worst video presentations in the long annals of horrendously bad student presentations. Now, I know you’re thinking that I certainly must be involved in some playful hyperbole here, that there is no way […]
The Red Herring of Immigration
The Red Herring of Immigration Two of the subjects I have always been loathe to write about in TRUTH: In 1000 Words or Less are immigration and feminine hygiene products. That’s because I know conspicuously little about either one. And given my dearth of knowledge on these subjects, I find myself lacking in the type […]
The Taylor Swift Bowl
This past Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs and The San Fransisco 49ers both punched their tickets to the premiere sporting event in all of North American sports, and all anyone seemed to care about was the kiss that Pro Bowl Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce shared with Taylor Swift on the field after the game.

You Can Be Right and Wrong at the Same Time
You Can Be Right and Wrong at the Same Time A friend of mine in college once told me that, “Two seemingly mutually exclusive ideas can both be true at the same time.” If that esoteric gibberish seems somewhat mind-numbing, like the weed-induced ramblings of yet another stoner trustafarian wasting his parents’ tuition funds trying […]
The Affliction in American Health Care
The Affliction in American Health Care In the United States, we live under the perpetual delusion that everything here is the best in the world. We believe we have the best economy, the best education, the best healthcare. You name it- we think we’re the best. But in terms of per capita GDP, the United […]
How Gerrymandering Leaves Us With Lauren Boebert
How Gerrymandering Leaves Us With Lauren Boebert Sometimes I am both amazed and appalled that Lauren Boebert and I hail from the same state. And trust me- it has nothing to do with the fact that this pitiful excuse for a congresswoman, whose name ironically shares a voiced bilabial alliteration with the word “bimbo”, opted […]
New Year’s resolutions I’m Sure Not to Keep- 2024 Edition
New Years Resolutions I’m Sure Not to Keep Ah, New Year’s, 2024. Nothing like the start of a new year to remind us of all the crappy things we have been doing to our bodies and souls for the past 364 days, only to spend at least a week or so thinking about how we […]
