In this article, John Moyers catalogs some of the most glaring deceits perpetrated by our servants in high government. My problem is this: What the hell is to be done besides the writing of Op-Ed pieces which merely chronicle the … Continue reading

I am not surprised you oppose abortion, Robert. But the thing is, from your name, I suspect you are a guy. And since you are a guy, I assume you have a penis. And sorry, but if you have a … Continue reading

My friends tell me to stay away from the political rants here, they tell me that they prefer my nihilistic laments. Perhaps I whine more eloquently than I pontificate, therefore let me take care as I wax political, just one … Continue reading
