Maybe I’m Dumb On Economics

27 Jul 202327 Jul 2023

Jerome Powell continues tying to drop a daisy cutter on an ant pile, for what reason I could not say: After briefly pausing its war on inflation last month, the Federal…

Where The Fuck Are We?

31 Mar 202331 Mar 2023

I'm as amazed as the next guy. Teflon Don has found himself with charges that will in all likelihood stick. It's quite a bit like shock, to realize this is…

I Don’t Know Who The Fed Is Working For, But It Ain’t You And Me

21 Sep 202221 Sep 2022

I'm no economist. But economics seems to be one of those fields that you can be trained in for years and years and still not know what the fuck is…

Escape

Hurrah! We are free of Donald Trump and his minions. I mean, Trumpism will live on in some mutated form, no doubt about that. And there are some congressional members…

Life In The Time Of Corona

Been a long time, occasional reader. I've been a bit preoccupied lately. My 17-year old has COVID and the last thing on my mind is writing. It looks like he…

Not Even Trying To Hide It

25 Oct 202025 Oct 2020

Here at the seminary, we try not to pass up opportunities to mark certain notable events. I'm a little hungover, but my brain nevertheless got stuck on this exchange between…

COVID Island Baby

3 Oct 20203 Oct 2020

I figure if anything needs a commemorative post, it's the news that Donald Trump caught himself the 'rona. I'll keep this brief. After months of denying, scoffing, flouting scientist's recommendations,…

Backward To Death

It is not a good time to be a Georgian with two kids of school age. If you are paying the least bit of attention at all, you know that…

Un-Kempt

24 Apr 202012 May 2020

My brother lives in Buffalo. I live in Georgia. He loves Jesus, I'm an atheist. We always joke that our families should switch places so we could both be surrounded…

Safe American Home

There's a lot of drama going on in the US of A. We're watching the Democratic establishment spit the irritant called Bernie Sanders out. C'est la vie. The Democratic establishment…

A Big Bite 15 Aug 2023
I don’t like covering Trump much because he’s the a subject line for a lot of other journalism, but for posterity, we here want to mark the day that Trump is officially being popped for all the dirt he did in Georgia to flip the election. And it’s not just for his “perfect” phone call.Continue […]

Chinese Junk 8 Aug 2023
One must wonder as global instability increases-is there a future after a third world war? Historians often point to a chain of smaller events that begin each world conflict. Russia’s incursion into Ukraine is most certainly some sort of flashpoint for a wider conflict as more nations pour arms into Ukrainian hands. And now weContinue […]

Fossil Fuels 7 Aug 2023
If you’ve been an avid watcher of MSNBC like me, you have seen them go through several talent drains. Phil Griffin took several hammers to their programming, first trying to fire Keith Olbermann and then they scattered to the wind their successful (as successful daytime newstalk can be at least) young eager beavers like AlexContinue […]

Death Becomes Us 6 Aug 2023
What can we say about this human life that already hasn’t been beaten to death by cliche and nonsense? First we must get rid of the notion that our life is special. It is, but perhaps not in the same way we are accustomed to thinking. Often we shield ourselves from psychic pain when weContinue […]

Word Play 5 Aug 2023
So I’m reading this Derrida For Dummies primer, and so far I am not completely baffled by what he is saying. He tried to do away with Western thought by attacking the words it uses to function daily, creating a sort of trap door under anything that can be used to solidify meaning. He andContinue […]

Legislative Suicide 28 Jul 2023
In Ukraine, there is a war of attrition happening. It’s a forgone conclusion who benefits from that. So too, we have one passing through or legislative bodies. The flame of war on women’s bodies and the war on LGBTQ has licked at the Veteran’s Administration, and the 320 billion dollar budget will stall if theContinue […]

Maybe I’m Dumb On Economics 27 Jul 2023
Jerome Powell continues tying to drop a daisy cutter on an ant pile, for what reason I could not say: After briefly pausing its war on inflation last month, the Federal Reserve is resuming the battle by hiking its benchmark interest rate to the highest level in 22 years. The central bank concluded a two-day policyContinue […]

Falling From Grace 27 Jul 2023
There’s nothing wrong with snickering about someone going oopsie-daisie once in a while. Many of us delighted in Chevy Chase’s impression of Gerald Ford on Saturday Night Live. Falls and trips are funnier than farts by a yard. I’ve been watching asshole righties make fun of the president for slips and falls. I watched themContinue […]

A Commie Enemy 27 Jul 2023
Let’s face facts, the only reason we give half a shit about Ukraine is so we can keep selling arms. That’s what we do, and we don’t care who we send them to. We’re turning more to State to run the country’s foreign policy, but the five-sided fistagon still keeps peddling warfare all over theContinue […]

Suckadelic 25 Jul 2023
One of the things that plagues a bipolar sufferer is that no one wants to discuss that we get depressed just like other humans. But all you want to talk about is the fun part. When I get a touch of mania, you certainly notice. That’s because Bizarro Clark Kent has stepped into his crazyContinue […]
