Political Stuff 5

As much as I root for an American Revolution, I don’t think it’s going to happen, and Shahid Bolsen does a good job explaining why: In short, Americans lack imagination. To quote Shahid Bolsen: “America’s entire society is engineered for distraction. People who can’t think for themselves…are never going to revolt.” This video is worthContinue reading “Political Stuff 5”

Political Stuff 3

Shit’s getting a little dystopian around here, and no one seems to really care. No one I know is discussing one of Trump’s recent executive orders instructing the Justice Department to investigate Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor.

The 2000 election might not have been disputed if RalphContinue reading “Blame Nader”

Perhaps we’re entering oligarchy territory. Maybe gerontocracy? Monarchy? How about a combo of all five? Theomedoligeronarchy? Yeah, that looks about right. WhateverContinue reading “I’ve Got A Word For This”

Americans Are Pissed

America is not a happy place. All of us are angry about something. We all feel the need to protest, and the litany of topics to protest against is long. When my husband said “we should go to the Capitol to protest this weekend,” I asked him what item we should protest about. I said there wasContinue reading “Americans Are Pissed”
