Sign of the Times

Happy 2024 to all you readers, although according to The New York Times it will be under a dictatorial regime if Trump becomes president again. So what is one to think or do? Americans have never tolerated autocratic government, despite Woodrow Wilson’s efforts to jail anyone opposed to Uncle Sam ...

Back in July, hijacking the popularity ...

Markets and Miracles

In this season of giving, I'll donate to the Doe Fund, a charity that helps drug abusers and ex-cons find purpose in life through work. Doe's approach doesn't include many handouts. It's mostly about encouraging people to work. "Work works!" they say. It does. Most Doe Fund workers don't go ...

Plastic Explosives: A Very Barbie Christmas, Part One

Just in time to ruin another generation of toddlers’ enjoyment of Christmas, the Barbie Liberation Organization are back! But...who the hell are they?

The Week That Perished

The Week’s Most Dollying, Volleying, and Boughs-of-Hollying Headlines ART-IS-ANAL CHRISTMAS Sometimes conservatives come across like flat-earthers, in that they fail to see the curve. Last week’s outrage-du-jour involved a video posted by Her Lordship Dr. Jill Biden Ph.D. Ed.D. Esquire ...
