What Can I Write?

Osama Bin Laden is dead. I am overcome with emotion.  I want to write, but I have no clue where to begin as there are literally dozens of ideas racing about my head so I am going to write a few micro stories and hope to get as many of my ideas out. Why I am Happy How does one react to news of this magnitude? Like pretty much everyone, when I heard the news I was excited and jubilant.   However, a yelp...

It Takes a Comedian and a ...

In the weeks since Donald Trump appeared on the political scene and proclaimed himself the best presidential candidate since George Washington there  has been a complete and total lack of a challenge from the mainstream media to his ridiculous candidacy. Sadly, all the “serious” reporters and talking heads continue to treat Trump with arguably more respect than they give the sitting...

I was planning to wake up this morning and write a long post about the moral questions posed by a fiscal debate which asks us to sacrifice our long earned social-societal compact but doesn’t even bother to offer up any alternatives.

I assume this was green-lit in order to take advantage of the virtually untapped political interests of their otherwise agnostic tech readers. The writer in question is David Gewirtz, who writes the ZDNet Government blog which typically focuses on issues of...

DownWithTyranny! just tears apart “the adolescent philosophy of Ayn Rand” and in turn it’s most vocal modern supporters in the Conservative movement lead by Paul Ryan. This one is a must read. Send to: Sphere: Related Content

Why Don’t You Love M...

It is always nice to wake up to a story that makes you smile. When I read this morning that the GOP’s psycho ex-girlfriend Sarah Palin was upset that no one paid attention to her unimportant speech the other day and consequently sent her sock-puppet Twitter alter-ego out to attack the media for it I nearly shot coffee out of my nose. Dear Sarah/Rebecca, the media didn’t cover your speech...
