Done with election 2016
The ideal of American Democracy wanders out of the two parties’ conventions like a gut-shot deer bleeding out.The GOP fest was crazy as one could imagine, with the Cinnamon Hitler (h/t to Lee Camp for that) now the candidate, while in foul Philly, the Democrats nominated Hillary Rodham Clinton after a race that made clear that […]
Cliff Arnebeck and campaign 2016
(This was written a few weeks ago. I’m releasing it on the eve of the actual floor vote for the DNC nominee. It looks like a done deal, even with the impending Wikileaks dump tomorrow. But I’d like some of the Hillary acolytes to know why Bernie supporters (or at least THIS supporter and his […]
July 29 and it’s all over–maybe
Yup, that’s what it says in the Bible according to this lovely blog post. The kicker is that the end will come from a reversing of the earth’s magnetic poles. But make no mistake, this isn’t extinction from scientific reasons I’ve outlined in earlier blogposts. Nope, it’s because Jesus is coming back. You can waste […]
Stop reading this blog!
(Trigger warning–historical photo below that will upset you) The title of this article is only half-serious. I promised an update on the evolving story of Omar Mateen, but that can wait.

My librul friends are posting their disgust, while my tinfoil hat uh, friends, are posting things like this meme above. For the record: We did not get a Second Amendment because […]
Why Trump is winning
I’ve been working on a project of sorts lately. Undertaken by some progressive liberals I know, the impetus of the project is to find experts in a variety of fields who will assess what they think a Trump presidency will look like (in terms of damage to the US’ international prestige as well as economic and […]
Where your job went and why it won’t come back
A week or so ago I posted a fancy-pants essay by Kevin Hester, one of my buds in the NTHE movement (near term human extinction for the uninitiated). It used the language of the anti-capitalism movements, including the Occupy Wall Street folks. The thesis of Hester’s article was that capitalism is dying because the planet […]
The Battle of Fallujah claims another victim
This is the story that flashed across my FB feed a few mornings ago. It had all the tear-jerk potential that you’d want in a story from Fox News 10 (the affiliate in Phoenix, Arizona). To be fair, Fox isn’t the only entity picking this story up and we’ll get to that later. Anyway, to cut to […]
