Raid on the Sublime Porte


Let me say, without equivocation, that the three pasha's who comprise The Young Turks are the lamest, laziest, most ignorant and stupid news commentators on the Internet - and that's saying something. If you want to torture yourself for 8:50 minutes watch these boorish yabbo's "resolve" the issue of "Gay Marriage" for the nation - cheer-leading RBG's musings about A CASE THAT IS CURRENTLY BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT and that she will, therefore, be asked to rule on (unless she's forced to recuse herself for said musings) and getting the objections and legal justification of Judge Roy Moore ass-backwards (They're not alone in this) and comparing the Judge to a segregationist preventing black children entering the Arkansas schoolhouse doors. Others who are very familiar with segregation did not feel the same way about Judge Moore or his ruling.

So the Supreme Court is currently hearing and reviewing a "watershed case" regarding Same-Sex Marriage on which they are expected to hand down a ruling in June - everyone thinks this will "decide" the issue, like all those other decisive decisions the court has handed down over the past 50 years. But while they're deciding, lower Federal Courts are making picayune rulings on homosexual marriage across the fruited plain and these rulings might, or might not, have legal standing come June 2015. Ruth Bader Ginsburg hopes and thinks SCOTUS will look to their neighbors and children and hand down the "right" decision because we've had about 35 years of progressively fetishizing ring stinging and rug munching so "perceptions have changed." On the other hand, though perceptions have changed, the US Constitution has not, nor have the laws of nature, nor has rules regarding logic and reason so there is every chance that Same-Sex Marriage will NOT be found to be legal on constitutional grounds. If scenario 2 (no constitutional right to gay marriage) is, in fact, the ruling in June then 1. I'm definitely directing my web browser to The Young Turks to watch their heads explode and 2. I'll expect a blanket apology to Judge Moore from every gay married couple in Alabama who will have to rip up their marriage license.

Marriage, as an institution, has taken a beating in the US (and around the world I suppose) over the past 50 years but it is a resilient institution. It is of supreme importance to some and of little or no value to others - unbreakable in many respects but extremely fragile in places you'd least expect. It joins the two sex/life forces together into a union that fulfills natures design and adds to (or detracts from) the individual happiness and security of those joined together. People of the same sex should be able to enter into such a union, but instead of calling it marriage which suggests the joining together of the male and female life force - the Yin and the Yang - we should call it Same Sex Merge and give it the unique status of union it deserves and, philosophically speaking, requires.

The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson

She was "sexy", but "too much hard work." I'm a regular Fox & Friends viewer (mostly in protest of the other insipid morning programs like Today and Good Morning America) so over the years I've gotten to know Gretchen Carlson pretty well. Stuck between Steve and Brian she always seemed a prudish scold with an irritating, self-righteous demeanor that I simply put up with because I figured some people in the Fox audience actually liked her persona. It was obvious that Steve and Brian did not, but they were stuck with her like so many talking heads and had to make the best of it - which they did. Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view...

The Pop-Tarts Bowl: Frauds v. Fakers

In the Techno-Fascist Imperium the "Holidays" festivities start on Columbus Day, when the Halloween candy pops up, and end New Years Day with college football Bowl games, black-eyed peas and collard greens. To be clear, the Imperium doesn't celebrate Columbus Day, au contraire, the Indigenous Peoples' Day psyop has been pushed hard by the IC for the past 50 years of failure but the candy... THE CANDY. This year's IPD got turned up to eleven when the colonizers of America's 51st state got kidnapped, raped and murdered by some indigenous maniacs on Sukkot 10/7 and, as a result, soured the festive '23 Holiday mood. Hey, we soldiered on, as it were, and kept on celebrating while the world burned: Halloween - Big for children and weirdos. Thanksgiving - Focus on God, country and family. Hannukkah - Jewish assimilation. Xmas - Santa Claus and gifts. Kwanzaa - Black Lives Matter. I'd call them Happy Holidays if it wasn't  a neo-Nazi dog whistle  to vocal...

Summer of the Jackals

In the spring of 2021 I had a near death experience when my Chevy Silverado loaded with 30 cases of wine was rear-ended at 50mph  by a young lady who was texting-while-driving at 9:30 AM. Her Mercedes sedan flashed in my driver side mirror a moment before impact and that microsecond of awareness gave me just enough time to pull my foot off the break and jam the gas so when she plowed into my trailer hitch the impact met no resistance and launched my truck across the road and into the woods. I had stopped in the road, left blinker signaling, waiting for an oncoming pickup truck to pass and, by the grace of God, it did pass me just as the distracted driver in the mirror slammed into my flashing taillight. Everyone walked away from the crash with no serious injury but if the impact had transpired 2 seconds earlier it would have been a “Road Warrior” bloodbath of terror and death. When I stepped out of my vehicle and looked through the roadside trees I had miraculously missed hitting i...
