We Is Getting Dumber Are we human beings continuing to evolve as a species or have we reached a tipping point, a moment in history in which the equilibrium of nature shifts and we start perilously plunging down the backside of the course of human history without any hope of return? Or to put it […]
The NSA is Watching I’m not entirely sure why, buy Yahoo seems quite concerned about my well-being. Every few weeks or so, they send me an unsolicited note suggesting that I change my email password for security purposes. For some reason, the prescient minds behind my email provider believe my password to be hopelessly inadequate […]
Alternative Facts for Your Alternative Lifestyle I must admit that as much as I do not like Kellyanne Conway, I honestly feel for her and admire her resolve. Let’s face it: it can’t be easy having to verbally defend a con man who spews more indefensible horse shit than a John Deere tractor. It leaves […]

How IKEA Sucked My Soul This story all begins with a table. Well, a table and chairs, really. You see, I’m set to move in a few weeks, and I recently found myself in need of a breakfast nook table and four matching chairs. Normally, I could give two pimples on a rat’s behind as […]
Standing With Standing Rock Well, call me a skeptic. I’ll be the first one to admit that I didn’t think the Standing Rock protestors had a snowball’s chance in Hades of getting that pipeline blocked. Don’t get me wrong- I was all for their protest- I just didn’t think it would work. When the Army […]
