Is This Really a Sport? Well, not everything that comes around every four years is painful and repulsive. Unlike our presidential elections, which take place on a four year cycle but seem to be never-ending trials of endurance and suffering only to produce a “winner” that really seems more like the lesser of two evils, […]
Discrediting the Institutions You would think that we would be used to this by now. You would think that by this point we would would have learned that every time you think the Trump administration has hit rock bottom, they pull some ridiculous nonsense you could not have even imagined and thus set the bar […]

The End of the Internet As We Know It So you like the internet, do you? Well, you’re about to like it a whole lot less. Despite a disturbingly apathetic and uniformed public, the internet as you know it is set to change dramatically, and it’s all because of three stooges who form the majority […]
The Tacky Things Your Neighbor Puts Up for Christmas It’s that time of year again- time for your neighbor, in all of his unbridled holiday spirit, to illuminate your neighborhood with more strands of light than the Disneyworld Main Street Electrical Parade.
