OK so Arizona just repealed its Civil War-era, pre-state admission to the Union, 1864 (yes, that is an “8”) ban re abortion, and must say methinks … that is really, really sad. No debt owed to modernity there, oh-ho-ho-no. But they did repeal it, so that’s something. Still … the laws in effect remain way …

Paroxysms of Paradox
Watched “Se7en” again just recently. What a great movie. Not as big of a fan of “8MM” but to each his own. Nic Cage did his usual; Joaquin Phoenix was actually quite stellar. Had to die, tho.’ Anyhoo, back to “Se7en” … “What’s in the baaaaaahhhhhkkkkkksssss?!?!” There’s a scene before the scene where Mills asks John …
Law of Unintended (or Maybe Intended?) Consequences
All this bru-hah-hah, all this strum ‘n drang, all this hullabaloo, makes me wonder just how (not)smart the Supremes really are. And how much of the Dobbs decision is rooted in the Supreme Court’s own demagoguery. Alabama (we can already see the problem there) recently ruled that embryos are actual people, despite having neither brain …

Talk Left / Live Right, or What I Said is Not What I Do
Well isn’t that interesting. Article by Brad Wilcox in the Atlantic discussed a book called, “Get Married,” and how the college-educated espouse alternative family types without actually embracing those alternatives themselves. Finish education. Establish career. Get married. Have kids. In that order. Although those selfsame folks claim bastardizing children is no big deal, they themselves …

The Single Promise
Pretty sure I saw a guy die on the freeway. Had just dropped theKid off, heading into the maw of RTO and mildly surprised that the flow of traffic was actually flowing then suddenly it slowed down to a crawl. Forgot where I heard/read this, but some wise person suggested that when traffic slows/stops, head …
Conspiracy of Dunces
OK so latest polling suggests ‘Murricans don’t want Clueless Joe/CryptKeeper or Potato Don/Orange Jesus as the next leader of the “free” world. Interesting. Despite vocals that resonate like skin on a mandoline RFK Jr. is doing very well across all voting groups, so much so that his electability is even better than that of the …
Culture of Death
Well, I guess it’s all fine then. Apparently, the courts are not too overly concerned with the truth only the process, which needs finality, so … duh. Funnily enough, the AG for the not-so-great state of Oklahoma doesn’t want to kill an (impliedly) innocent man, but the authorities that have the power to prevent the …
Hijacking “Jesus”
It’s been three years and some days since Trump and his merry band of Trumpiots tried to overthrow the government. Oh yes, you did! YES, you DID, Brett! That’s what insurrection looks like. They actively and intentionally took affirmative steps (I see you, Q Anon Shaman) to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election …
True American Horseman
He should have gotten the Oscar. But I understand why he didn’t. Perception is everything, and reveling in America’s bloodlust via such a celebratory demonstrative manner is frowned upon. Glad he didn’t hit the dog, tho’. Chris Kyle was the man. Thought Brad Cooper did a great job in the role. Totally hulked out, too. …
Population: Controlled
As another year ends, the third after the “plandemic” (but not really because this “virus” doesn’t recognize its exaggerated demise and what, again, is that new variant?) and folks are still fighting going back into the office. Nobody wants to be there. Nobody. Yet employers refuse to recognize that. It’s easier/better/preferable to just live at …
