Mind Your Own Business! (WARNING: Portions are graphic)

Fresh blood has a coppery scent that sticks in your memory like thick red syrup. My father was a doctor and I often went with him to the emergency room where he treated everything from sick babies to high school drunks, but that night was nothing I had ever seen before. I walked into an emergency room soaked with blood. The metallic smell was overwhelming, but did not compare with the blood that seemed to cover everything. My dad disappeared behind operating room doors, as I stood…

Sex Ban

Starting today I will petition Congress to ban sexual intercourse of any type unless for the express purpose of procreation. Oral, anal or anything but missionary style sex with the male dominant will be punishable by torture and maiming. Any enjoyment, pleasure or fun while procreating will be expressly forbidden as will rousing climaxes or especially pleasing release.

Henceforth use of prophylactics and all forms of birth control including early withdrawal or swallowing are… Continue

Get to Wisconsin! Someway

I said I was out of the politics game. I told my friends I would not write another word about people that care so little for freedom. I even took the suggestion of my doctor to take the stress off and let America go to He'll in a hand basket. Well, I have one more left in me and then I put in the hands of the young because if I live to be a hundred, I am get g short on years. So, here it is!

By now, news of the President's budget proposal surely reached your eyes or ears. For many, the proposed cuts that project to reduce the deficit by $1.1 trillion over ten years is a case of robbing the poor to give to the rich. On the other hand some say the President's reductions fall short and suggest the cuts go deeper.

Global Warming and the Religious Right--They Will never Learn!

In its ongoing romance with the inane, insipid and ignorant, the Religious Right represents the Mariana Trench of junk science in its spurious misrepresentation of the reality of global warming. It is another round of religion versus science that the former is destined to loose, but undoing the damage caused by the deliberately duplicitous rantings of the Religious Right may go beyond the failsafe point.

Deadly Combination: Arrogance and Ignorance

Bypassing a bibliography containing numerous books, articles and journals regarding Intelligent Design and Creationism, which do not reach the level of junk science and would need numerous upgrades to reach that plateau, it is important to understand how such thing harms the country. A recent survey of the top developed countries in the world ranked the United States as number 34 out of 35 in the acceptance of evolution, an embarrassment as well as a finding with enormous economic… Continue
