To more precise, it's a "Thank-you-thank-you-thank-you! We need this so much and have for ages" idea. Then there's the "Oh, heavens, haven't you done enough to turn us into a regressive backwater on the world stage already?!" idea. So, turns out that we're getting what many have wondered about over the years (and I believe … Continue reading “It’s time for another good idea, bad idea…”
A few hours after Biden won the election, the kid I babysit sometimes was in my yard playing with the dogs with a friend of his, and somehow just noticed the Biden sticker on the back of my car. He went "eww" and pointed at it, like he was incredulous I voted for him. I … Continue reading Q #151: Why do (most) Republicans love to say, “the Democrats are going to take your guns”?
It's been a doozy of a week, good and not so good stuff. I've been tired as hell and trying to get things put together and educate myself. All in all, if you asked me what the heck I actually did, I couldn't tell you much. But with more stories about infection rates spiking, restrictions … Continue reading Blitz Q #148: Where the hell did we go so wrong with basic consideration of others (re: masks) in the U.S.A.?
This is the most true thing I've seen in a while, and something we should all keep in mind. I felt he was speaking to me, because when it comes down to it, I'm one of those "fair play" folks, but I have had to acknowledge recently that what I want isn't going to happen. … Continue reading All folks considering voting Democrat definitely need to hear Beau on this…
photo from commons.wikimedia.org I saw a brief blip when I was scrolling through YouTube earlier (which I mostly had on for noise) and it said that Ruth Bader Ginsburg was gone. I didn't react at first, just read the clip title and moved on. I suppose I wasn't ready to think on that. I just … Continue reading The Great Lady has gone today. And tomorrow, the really sick & twisted games begin…
I think this one's been bugging me since the day my mom told me--when I was doing research and reading the Bible--that I just needed to read the New Testament first. It's been so long ago I'm assuming she meant go back for the Old Testament later, but for all I know, maybe she said … Continue reading #102–Why does the Christian Bible Contain the Old as well as the New Testament?
I've had the "Make America Straight Again" conference notes stuck in my head after seeing some video snippets from day 1 (The Friendly Atheist has the "lowlights"--shudder). This is something that's really bugged me. When I see preachers practically frothing at the mouth about sinners, the gays, feminists, abortion, etc...I have to wonder something. In … Continue reading #098– Do These Anti-Gay Preachers Ever Get Tired of Hating?
I suppose it's a natural consequence of not wanting to talk on the phone so late (and trying to relax after getting bitten by dozens of mosquitoes while working outside). I just lost my cool and all the issues that've been coming up lately--the abortion-bans, creationist rhetoric, etc.--burst out of me. My dad's friend called … Continue reading I forgot what it was like to argue with a Trump supporter… til tonight.
I'd love to know what it is about Shakespeare and his unique ability to make kings into secondary characters in their own stories. Well, perhaps it's because he was too busy thinking up Henry V that he had to throw some of it in here first, lest he lose all his ideas. I just find … Continue reading “The History of Henry the Fourth (1 Henry IV),” from The Oxford Shakespeare: The Complete Works, by W. Shakespeare
You know how it is. You're looking for stories, then you click on one, then another from the article, then another...and before you know it you've found a total gem. I'm not terribly surprised at this one, after reading about McCarthy for several years and seeing what his power play as the junior senator from … Continue reading The Radical, Propaganda, Communist, Totally un-American… Declaration of Independence? Whaaa?!

I've never known any trouble that an hour's reading didn't assuage. Charles De Secondat (1689 - 1755)
