Rick Allen - The Illogical Seminary

27 May 2016

Republicans are in a real bind these days. They can't do a thing to upset their constituency, unless your name is Donald Trump. But anyway, they can't lose the Christian…

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 […]
