I’m a tube sock guy. A proud tube sock guy. A relentless proponent of the tube sock. Maybe I’m just somewhat nostalgically stuck in the tube sock-laden era of my youth, the 1980’s, but I think my abiding love for the tube sock goes far beyond that. Tube socks are true, full and honest footunderwear … Read more
This is a round table discussion by three friends who were accused of having Trump Derangement Syndrome. It’s defined as having an overly emotional reaction to Trump. The person having it is paranoid and fails to perceive reality. The implied solution – possibly hospitalization and certainly a round of psychotropic drugs, probably powerful antipsychotics (does … Read more
Even the fear-mongering Powers That Be, the very folks who brought us The Pandemic in the first place, by now have to begrudgingly admit that their experiment in fear and control is, at long last, over.

I was just as rigidly righteous, just as stupidly savvy, and just as annoyingly arrogant as these Gen-Z morons…but back then the world didn’t care. The … Read more
Fight On! Dr. Begonia and I got into a somewhat heated argument about propaganda and free speech. She hates propaganda and wants to lessen its influence, noting the destruction it has caused, specifically in the last few years. I champion free speech, as an absolute, and recognize that embracing free speech, truly embracing it, inevitably … Read more
…Or So I Argued to an Unnecessarily-Defensive Buddhist the Other Night I had the beginnings of a decent conversation with an argumentative white California Buddhist the other night at the Intermission of a local cabaret. I’ve had versions of this debate before, but twenty years ago I basically argued his point, and now I find … Read more
I can’t stop feeling like we have been down this road before. Doesn’t it sound familiar? Bottom line – we have a need for a new mRNA vaccine but with a twist. This new disease, unlike Covid, can readily be seen on the victim’s face. And as I write this more and more information is … Read more
