Biggest Badass Black Friday in history and the markets are tanking.

got it off yahoo finance, fresh from the fire. Maybe Jared Kuchner (or however he spells his last name) can accidentally fall off the top of 666 Park Ave and if he lands on any of the Trump Klan it’s … Continue reading

Merchants to everybody: ‘give us every penny you have…’

Trump and the Reich Wing Extremists starting the War on Christmas bullshit early.

What the fuck ever. Then there’s the Alabama congressional candidate “Judge Roy” who said that not standing for the anthem and refusing to say the pledge of allegiance are crimes. And even Christians are compelled to celebrate Non-Christian holidays like … Continue reading

Happy Turkey Day

So now I take keyboard in hand and remind us of the real meaning of Thanksgiving. Heark back with me four centuries, where the first American corporation almost starved to death and were rescued by a local socialist economy. The … Continue reading

They should have killed his crew and sank his boats.

Columbus Day.  I have a slight mental/emotional block about it every year. I could blame some of it on the Monday Holiday tradition. Yesterday I actually went out to check the mail several times. But, yeah, there is a kind … Continue reading

So called “patriots day” 911

 Means I get to pick up your lost or blew-off-your-antenna because-you-don’t-know flag-etiquette-and-put-a-87-cent-walmart-flag-on your-motor-vehicle and you’re about as smart as you are a “real” patriot. Get a grip. If you expect people to stand up for your national anthem (not required) … Continue reading

Why Juneteenth is more important than July 4th

Well, first for me is that it’s my Dad’s birthday, which was really cool. All of the folks in Polytechnic Heights (Fort Worth) would have a big old party on his birthday, along with his twin brother. This year it’s … Continue reading

So, the Prisons in America use clergy to radicalize inmates.

Hardly surprising, but the US government usually labels other nations with that honor. There was a report years ago that the guards at Abu Ghraib had gotten prisoners to attack “radical Islam” meaning their fellow prisoners who weren’t being cooperative … Continue reading

Trump fever is the new Antisemitism

Mostly because he got the vote of the Angry White Males who are stymied in their goal of making America a permanently white dynastic order. Which includes their version of Christianity and excludes all other people. Think they like Minorities … Continue reading

Independence Day

Not quite the July 4th holiday. More like the commercial hit movie of that name about an Alien Invasion being repulsed, from 1996. For those unable to do simple math, that’s 20 years ago. So The Army (which army? you … Continue reading

Virginia Dare was an “Anchor Baby”

Not meaning to poke fun at young Ms Dare who disappeared along with the rest of the Roanoke Colony more than 400 years ago. More like mocking and reproving redneck bigots who make a big stink about other people having … Continue reading

Let’s all celebrate Mithra’s birthday!

‘Labor Day’ in a country that hates Laborers? What’s with that?

We just got past the nation’s so-called ‘labor day’. There is no more meaningless Holiday around though since our country’s corporate elites actually hate laborers and think that they are the bottom scrapings of society and should be treated like … Continue reading

What’s happy about the Fourth of July?

Famed environmentalist Denis Hayes spoke at Colorado College last week, and it was very tempting to ask the creator of EARTH DAY what he thought about speaking to an audience which had eliminated theirs. Oh, we have Earth Month, and … Continue reading

If you don’t see Merry Christmas in the window, no, you don’t go in that store! The Star of David used to do that trick.

This season’s War-On-Christmas email is pushing a holiday ditty whose refrain goes “If you don’t see Merry Christmas in the window, then you don’t go in that store.” Seems like it might be easier to mark those stores with a … Continue reading
