Your morning bathroom routine, much like your ear hair, is something that never stops growing until you die. By my reckoning, this process, when fully explored over the course of an average American lifetime, slowly grows, then dips greatly, then begins its true slow rise from a process that takes roughly ten minutes every morning … Read more
You DO have a lane, you know. Science is taking over everything. Even theology. Ten years ago while getting an MTS I noticed articles published in theology along the lines of miracles can’t exist because science says they are not possible. It has consumed medicine and now the field of psychotherapy — not that either … Read more
I read a newspaper article a few months ago about an Amish guy and his stalwart band of reeeeaaaallllyyy un-merry men who got arrested for forcibly cutting off the beards and pony-tails of other Amish people he accused of not being Amish enough. NOT AMISH ENOUGH? Let that sink in for a second. That’s like … Read more
The League of Women Voters took a circuitous path to its current mission. It began The League of Women Moaters, a traveling moat upkeep operation, which suffered mightily to stay profitable, mainly due to America’s severe lack of castles. Next it became The League of Women Motorists, and was taunted so mercilessly that it quickly … Read more
Two Wisconsin gas stations are suing a local competitor for selling gas at TOO LOW A PRICE. For real, this is actually happening, at a time when everyone is overpaying for gas, mainly because of opportunism. Apparently there is a law in the Badger State, Wisconsin’s Unfair Sales Act, that prevents stores from selling products … Read more
America’s Cable Guys’ Strange Power Trip I was getting out of my car in my apartment complex parking lot and I saw a cable van. I don’t mean a van made of cables, though that would be cooler and, this being Athens, with our art-cars, not entirely outside of the realm of possibility. I don’t … Read more
God does not have a gender. HE’S not a dude. SHE’S not a chick. THEY’RE not a transgender person of indiscriminate genital-orientation. Period. We anthropomorphize everything. Cartoon turtles on TV ads lecturing their co-workers about the value of certain auto insurance policies. We describe interlocking building materials as having “the male part” and “the female … Read more
The Intellectual Climate on the Dangers of the Vaccine Running rampant in public belief is that the Covid vaccines are perfectly safe, and of course, anyone refusing them is an idiot or an unscientific dolt, unpatriotic, selfish and not caring for their fellow man. These dolts insanely insist on their “rights” even if it harms … Read more
Like the rest of the country over the age of thirty (except for the uber-right wingers), I listen to a lot of NPR. Not on purpose. It’s not like I mean to. It’s just a fall-back radio plan, a default. When there’s no particular music I want to hear, when I can’t find someone on … Read more
“Science Based Medicine” is pure propaganda. One of the topics I am parsing out about the covid narrative has to do with the propaganda machine. When you are manipulating group think, you design slogans and wording that locks in public opinion. Often the words used convey the direct opposite of what is going on. For … Read more
