Human beings can’t seem to get beyond their tribal origins, i.e. acting as small groups with self-serving and often fanatical goals. If we can’t get beyond this, our social structures will never develop beyond our savage natures that define them. Desmond Morris in his classic The Naked Ape theorized that we’re victims of our basic… Continue reading Tribalism…

Politicizing the apolitical…
Governments—local, state, and national—are so politicized now that politicians spend all their time creating chaos and pointing fingers at the other side to blame them for it instead of solving the problems that need to be solved. Immigration reform is probably the worst example of this politically generated chaos. President Biden will take the hit… Continue reading Politicizing the apolitical…
Done in by photo and tape…
Reduced to parsing a victory from a “not guilty of rape” verdict—a mere technicality about what was put where—the 45th president’s lawyer had to be well aware that his psychotic and sociopathic client’s ego had done him in. I’m sure that $5 million loss plus legal fees will be doubled by the time the guilty… Continue reading Done in by photo and tape…
Let’s do this again!
A wild man who’s skunk-drunk is shooting his AR-15 rifle in his front yard when a neighbor complains that he’s keeping their newborn awake. He comes over and shoots at them, killing five out of ten people in the house. (Abbott the Nazi writes it all off by saying something akin to “Oh well, they… Continue reading Let’s do this again!
Urban vs. rural…
I’ve made a mistake in my analyses of the future of American democracy (or lack thereof): The next civil war won’t necessarily pit red states against blue states. Just like now when elections are often won in suburban America—let’s call that the conurbation of a major city instead to emphasize the connection with the urban—the… Continue reading Urban vs. rural…
Is this where the new civil war will begin?
Wars often begin in unusual places or in unusual circumstances. Civil wars, not so much; but the US is a big country! The Tennessee legislature’s scandal seems to be an unusual circumstance, but in many ways that state, as birthplace of the KKK, would be a fitting place to begin a new civil war. There’s… Continue reading Is this where the new civil war will begin?
The GOP aids and abets murderers…
That’s what it comes down to when considering their reluctance to act on gun control. By not banning assault weapons and large magazines, they are aiding and abetting the deranged people who commit the mass shootings in the US! Innocents are dying—children, men, and women—and our 130 mass shootings so far this year will only… Continue reading The GOP aids and abets murderers…
Trump’s circus is back in NYC: a special report…
Il Duce’s imperious scowl has returned to Fifth Avenue; Tucker Carlson is foaming at the mouth about a possible gag order against his hero (I hope he loses his job when Dominion wins its lawsuit); and Marjorie Taylor Greene is chomping at the bit, ready to protest (she needs a permanent gag order!). Every fascist… Continue reading Trump’s circus is back in NYC: a special report…
The point of no return?
The Good Ole Piranhas (aka Republicans or the GOP) are now between a rock and a hard place: A minority of them want to return to the core values of the party—limited government, support of big business, a strong military and foreign policy, etc., the GOP’s traditional conservative values in a nutshell—but the others, especially… Continue reading The point of no return?
Talking points for the Dems’ 2024 campaigns…
Because everybody’s already talking about it, I thought an article about the upcoming 2024 presidential campaign and election, while a bit nonsensical, is perhaps appropriate. The Dems will have a good time if they can get past their petty and selfish differences; the Good Ole Piranhas will never get past theirs, so they’ll probably have… Continue reading Talking points for the Dems’ 2024 campaigns…
