Ok, So Here Is the Straight Shit . . .

This is depressing but having spent two weeks struggling, along with the majority of US citizens and educated people of this planet, to understand what happened and why, enough already. Read the comments on this excellent article (that only states the obvious)…

Well you nailed it on this one.

Not that you haven’t done so on other occasions but this one is stretched out and mounted like a large ugly insect. The sucker is immobile and annotated. I wish I could move but the pins won’t budge. So we only talk to ourselves.

The Massive Trump Failure

I’m not talking about racism, misogyny, bigotry, willful ignorance or incompetence. I’m not even talking about total moral and ethical degeneracy as we have lost the ability to even understand those terms except as the hate speech common to the political vestiges of corrupted…

Probably Not the True Face of Trumpistan . . .

You are right that this is appalling but, of course, that is the intent. While most people who voted for Trump don’t actually think this way they have shown a willingness to go along. The danger is that we allow this to go unchallenged. As I’ve…

We Designed Ourselves Into a Corner

We thought the world was clean and bold and, well, material. Then November 9th came. And the world proved itself to be made up of enough angry people who‘s concept of design is making enough room in the fridge for another six pack of beer.

That this happened once is bad. . .

It had better not happen again. It’s very good to have George Takei keep this in front of as many people as possible. As a life long resident of Hawaii with kids and grandkids who are a beautiful mix of Japanese, Chinese, Haole (Caucasian for mainland folks) and…
