Crazy Talk
So, it seems clear to me that the War on Drugs isn’t even the War On Some Drugs, but rather the War On Brown People Possessing Drugs. At what point can we confess this and address the problem? At what point do we stop wasting millions of millions of dollars “fighting drugs” and putting people in prison [...]
Music Monday: I like the song but could do without the vocals
Seriously, what exactly does that add? In closing: grey area; the rich get richer; yeah right; la la la la la la la la; and Masako-sama.
We don’t want any trouble
Nobody wants to live in a bad neighborhood, right? And certainly nobody wants to live in the kind of place where the police are continually coming around. But consider this situation. Imagine you get beaten up. As bad luck would have it, it happens a couple more times. The third time, the cops call your landlord [...]
Open Letter to Los Angeles
Hi L.A., How are you? This is a little awkward. See, the thing is that I do like you. I don’t mind your sprawl. I love your museums. How many cities have their very own tar pit? You have a cute little Chinatown. The thing is, I don’t think you are safe anymore. The problem [...]
Moderation in All Things
Maybe, just maybe, an all fruit diet is a bad idea. Seriously, how would anybody who passed 7th grade health think this was a good idea for more than a day? In closing: under this standard, almost any hotel can be seized; hemp; and King Peggy.
Quite Possibly the Most Offensive Christmas Song Ever

In Closing: the choice to fail; the majority of Americans want common sense; tweeting pope; and you thought American banks were bad; on the economy; explaining [...]
Outpost: Shorties Sun
Hints of Sanity: Newt says something’s got to change. Yesterday this was the funniest thing on the Internet: Review of Guy Fieri’s restaurant. UN Believable: UN says “increasing funding for family planning by a further $4.1 billion could save $11.3 billion annually in health bills for mothers and newborns in poor countries.” Pro-Life My @$$: Woman suffers for days [...]
Music Monday: Inspiration, Part 2
Last week I said I had two inspiring videos. This is the other one. It took guts to make this video. But no, don’t go off the antibiotics until the whole run is done, ever, ok? In Closing: gee I wonder why; some negatives??; this could be bad; “How dare researchers publish research that isn’t about [...]
What’s In Your Wallet?
My wallet needs a little cleaning out. It’s got a little cash, a couple credit cards, some loyalty cards for various businesses, an ATM card, a couple business cards, some old receipts, and a drivers license.* You know what it doesn’t contain? Proof that I am a United States Citizen, legally entitled to work in [...]
