I am a writer, media analyst, and psychotherapist. I'm interested in comedy, satire, politics, entertainment, pop culture, and business; exposing how the media powerfully spins the news we hear, and how this spin creates our feeling states and directs the way we live! I want to resurrect intelligence(aka thinking),connection, personal engagement with life; making it fun to nail the truth inside the official news stories. I translate what passes as news in media broadcasts. It's time to wake up!

Grabbing Power (and Humor) by the "Pu**y" We live in a country where freedom is under siege by our president-elect. Trump has created a quick shift from the potential of our freedoms to the likelihood of fascist tyranny. As the Trump novelty wears off, let us be awake and take positive action.

Can I Vote for Hillary and Still Have An Inquiring Mind? We must be free to question any candidate. The lack of questions in the media about Hillary and the defensiveness of her supporters is cause for discussion. To support Hillary requires daring to speak out and question more.

Studying the Nuances of Media Lies and Deceptions, and The Making of a New Dirty Word; "Protester" The news this week was centered on a lie about chairs being thrown by wild and violent Bernie Sanders protesters. The media is corrupting protest and connecting the word, "protester" with violent people. Bad news for truth, language, and freedom.
