Politics does not dictate our collective cultural mindset as much as it simply reflects it; We've got to look in the mirror sometimes, and we've got one.

Is There Really Life Beyond the MAGA Puddle of Perception?
We human beings are just captured way too often by our imaginations. I think it’s pretty easy to step into that puddle. You looking for where and how that happens? Just take a little peek into the goings on in Washington since Congress has returned. Nothing much has changed and they’re still swimming in the same puddle they were in when they went on break, which is not the least bit surprising. The reason they’re swimming in circles, though, looks like they’re being led in circles by two mental giants or maybe two otherworldly multiverse travelers. Whatever they are, they don’t do much unless you count swimming in circles as some kind of accomplishment.

What Honest Planet Would Look Like
What would the world look like if all the lies and deception were gone? What would the world be if instead of cowardice and people who have been taught to "cya" (cover your a&$) at all costs, we actually were told the truth? I don't know, and maybe we will never know, but I suspect that if courage could bring honesty up, real human evolution and civilized progress could occur.

Dear Future President
It's time for another political article because as I surf through Twitter and Youtube I'm seeing post after post about Trump and Kamala. Oy ve and a half. Look what America has been reduced to: Trump, the felon who causes insurrections or Kamala, the brain dead druggie who can't complete an actual real sentence. We are so doomed. Still, if I could vote, I'd give my vote to the felon. At least I can understand him when he speaks.

Republicans! Here’s a Hint, Eve Had a Point of View Too
Republicans just don’t know if they should shit or go blind. They’ve fought for years to establish the idea that abortion is wrong. The only problem with that stance is the problems women have when their lives are upended with a pregnancy. Well, those problems do not give a single fuck about laws that any state passes to insist that all the citizens of that state ignore reality. God just screwed up when he/she/it made women. Cripes, it’s right there in Genesis. Women are being punished for being more curious than men. Therefore, it’s clear, some 5000 years later, that Adam and Eve were evil through and through. Not only that but it was Eve who had to have some apple. She knew better and made poor Adam do something he really did not want to do. The only reason God was PO’ed with Adam was because he didn’t stand up for what God told him to do with his old lady. Apparently, Adam’s fig leaf prevented tanning in certain essential areas which support manly manliness, and poor Adam succumbed to the succubus Eve. Maybe it’s just me, but that story has some parts in it that answer a lot of my questions, but it surely does raise a bunch of questions I can’t answer, too.

A Republican Cootie Infestation
I’ve found that it’s rather rare to encounter people who are familiar with the concept of dichotomies and how the concept affects our perception of everything around us, including inter-human events. This election season may be the best illustration of this phenomenon we’ll ever have. The far right Congressional Freedom caucus is the prime example.

The Thinly Veiled Racism of the Republican Orange Boy Fantasy
My daddy told me one time when I was knee-high to a grasshopper–okay it was a really big grasshopper–that I would do well to look a man in the eye when he paid me. I was not to take my pay by reaching behind my back to get it. In time I learned that to do as he instructed, it was necessary to do my work as he had instructed me too. His only instruction about work was, “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right.” Right meant that not only was work to be done to a standard higher than a client could reach himself and to be done efficiently and, obviously, so that it could not be done better in the same time by anyone. It could be done as well, but if someone could do it better, the job just wasn’t done yet. I’ve found in my brief sojourn here in this world that the old man knew what he was talking about.
