Methinks excellence shall inevitably be punished. How very disheartening. In mid-1660’s France, there lived two very vain men … Nicolas Fouquet, and King Louis XIV. Both loved money, and ostentation, and spectacle, but only one could punish the other for his preference. Bit of a backstory: someone high up in the king’s cabinet died, and …
Let the Bloodletting Begin
A while ago I started reading Robert Greene’s “48 Laws of Power” and have to say … mucho disturbio. Is the world really this corrupt? Are people really this horrible? Am I really that naïve? It appears the answer to all of those questions is a resounding “Yes!” Sigh. Well, the banality of evil is a …
Points, Practice, Physics … and Politics
theKid recently expressed some frustration with the foolishness of grown folks … and youth sports. Yeh, the kids think the parents are dumb too. And kids always bear the burden of a parent’s mistakes. Ergo, to wit: my parents split before I hit kindergarten, totally destroyed the family, and the scars from that destruction have …

Judge, Jury, & Executioner
Dr. Frank Turek is one of those guys who always answers a question with a question, needing to frame the discussion to prove his point. Methinks that is not necessary, because his position is the truth. Or, more accurately, the Truth. He wrote a book I can’t recommend because I haven’t read it but I’m …
The Female Problem
May have mentioned (definitely mentioned) that I enjoy the opinions of the manosphere, but methinks it has descended into a bit of an echo chamber. F&F reiterate the recurrent complaint that, essentially, women are basically pointless/irrelevant/useless to men UNLESS the man wants children, then he’s obligated/cautioned to find a good one. So … in this …
Sides of a Circle
Guy sought the opinions of the internets. Seems he was a bit of a germaphobe, bodily functions of most sort grossed him all the WTF out. Actually suffered traumatic, physical reactions (anxiety, panic attack, seizures) when confronted with the human nasties … also had epilepsy or some such, needed a full eight every night of …
Everything Will Always Be All Right
I love this so hard. GOD is good, all the time. GOD is great, every day. The Resurrection is real. Time is short. HE is coming. {Revelation 3:3}
Flesh & Blood … yes / Morals & Ethics … no
Speaking of spiritual wickedness in high places [Ephesians 6:12}, Clarry Tom got publicly busted but will not accept that and it would matter not at all if he did. Apparently, for years, the second-least qualified member of the Supremes has been accepting … “gifts” … from a Texas billionaire (well there’s a problem) who finances …

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH—
—AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA stoopit. The Rethuglican supermajority in Tennessee’s state house voted to expel two Dumbocrats … both were Ice Cream People, the third eligible was a Horse(wo)man. Apparently, the Horsemen showed their true color (heh). Welp, turns out that the two expelled on Thurs 4.6 were back in office Wed. 4.12 and Thurs. 4.13 after the …
Queue: Wailing, Gnashing of Teeth
Perhaps it’s time to simply accept that this is who, what, and how we are. Americans, in America. We kill each other. As opposed to baseball, that’s our real national pastime. So rather than continue to call for gun reform/control/restrictions, let’s just tally the body count(s) and send thoughts and prayers that the number of …
