Fascist Laff Riot the day after the elections in November we will have a fascist as president-elect of The United States. But it didn't have to be this way. Bernie Sanders would have crushed Trump in the election. The United States would not have slid further into fascism. I can't forget, I hope no one will forget...Hillary Clinton stole the Democratic nomination from Bernie Sanders. The End.

Why We Left The United States: The policies of the Bush/Cheney Regime are still in place under the Obama administration. We still have the wars of aggression and occupation. Innocent people are still killed every day. We still hold prisoners in Guantanamo Bay who after almost ten years have yet to be charged or tried for any crime.

All the World's a Grave David Goodstein, a professor of physics and vice-provost at the California Institute of Technology, said the easiest energy alternatives -- coal and natural gas -- might carry us through to the end of this century, but ... "By the time we have burned up all that fuel, we may well have rendered the planet unfit for human life."

Morons With Movie Cameras The cast of Innocence of Muslims memorized lines, dressed up in costumes, stood in front of a green screen so the "desert" could be added later, and repeated their lines in front of a video camera. And we're being led to believe that 14 minutes of that crap uploaded onto YouTube made Muslim countries explode. That's Insane.

Like the Map at the Mall Says ... You Are Here On April 24, the FDA's long-awaited deeming regulations regarding electronic cigarettes were released. It took two and a half years for the FDA to come up with these regulations. The public comment period will last only 75 days. Soon there will be much activity by e-cig users, vendors et al, to extend the comment period. There will be petitions to sign and letters sent to members of congress.

The Frog and the Scorpion Do we even notice the scorpion on our back as we frog-kick across the water towards PlayLand?

Reasonable Men For a couple of weeks now the people who should have been tried and imprisoned for war crimes are back retelling their history-distorting lies to all the vacuous dolts who keep putting these beasts in front of television cameras.

Hitchhiking Across the Plain of Megiddo We know it's stupid to damage the resources we depend on to survive. We would all agree not to poison the air, water, or land. We won't poison our food.

My Vote is Worth Something ... Our Democratic Republic isn't just broken ... it's smashed into a fine powder. If the handle of your favorite coffee mug snaps off, you can crazy glue it back on and use it tomorrow. But you can't crazy glue powder together and end up with anything that looked and functioned like your old coffee mug. Best sweep it up and throw it away.
