–Araceli Elizabeth Perez, Winner of two consecutive Phineas Gage Awards for political writing. Letters to the Editor: Soundtrack for today’s entry: Listen Dear Sirs: When I wrote about the meat packing industry, I didn’t realize how viscerally people would react to runaway disease in a meat packing plant. Instead of emphasizing that people’s Spam contained dissolvedContinue reading ““In twenty years, the word, “trump” will have evolved into a verb that means, “to ruin something beyond repair.” The World War Two generation often used its synonym: SNAFU.””

Black Box
I never pay attention to my instagram. I cannot believe that 401 years after black people first entered this country as slaves that I still have to do this. This means that black people first arrived here 124 years before Sally Hemings’ owner was born. So, here is my black box. I don’t think thisContinue reading “Black Box”
“…Only in America…”
–Asinine American Adage Only in America (or perhaps Syria, Yemen, or Afghanistan) or any other war torn country, would it be necessary for me to dust off my firearms, clean them, and watch the news with trepidation. If you haven’t been paying attention, the Right Wing wants this war more than anything. Oh, and oneContinue reading ““…Only in America…””
I’m not sure how this is going to turn out…
–Mister Thrope, 2020 This entry will have little to no sarcasm, and it is about something I’ve never had the need to talk much about, given the choices I’ve made in life. In my experience, black people, out of necessity, know more about white people than white people know about black people. Between explicit andContinue reading “I’m not sure how this is going to turn out…”
Letters to The Editor IV
Dears Sir/Madame: Look, we’ve been saying this stuff for years. A balanced diet, substituting tofu for beef and including corn regularly, will be a complete protein, and is much more healthy. Now, with meat processing becoming more expensive and even dangerous, it is the perfect time to become sandle-wearing, long-haired, tofu eaters. I know,Continue reading “Letters to The Editor IV”
“Okay, yes, he is a man. That is, if you also believe that Jan Brady, Paris Hilton, and Veruca Salt were all men.”
–Galina Lada Fedorov, Russian model, former Trump Mistress Why do working class white men forgive Trump’s unmanly behavior? Tom Nichols asked this question at the beginning of this piece, and writes some accurate insights regarding a question that I have had throughout this political horror show. Rather than dispute his explanation, I wouldContinue reading ““Okay, yes, he is a man. That is, if you also believe that Jan Brady, Paris Hilton, and Veruca Salt were all men.””
***Letters to the Editor***
“The Voice of The People can be Summarized as the Reader’s Digest Version of the TV Guide, with a jigger of Supermarket Tabloid, and two shots of Pornography.” —Vernon Nashe McNair, 1983. 4-28-20 Dear Sir/Madame, It took decades, but finally a U.S. President said something more stupid than my “trees cause pollution” line. IContinue reading “***Letters to the Editor***”
You Read it Here First
“How about a little reefer, Scarecrow?” –Margaret Hamilton, backstage on the set of Wizard of Oz, 1939 Given President Poison’s recent, absurd speculation about the health benefits of household cleaning products as Covid-19 cures, I don’t want to make a big deal out of this. If you’re curious, he doesn’t think he had anything toContinue reading “You Read it Here First”
“New Beginnings are Joyous. They Remind You So Succinctly of Your Mistakes”
–Natalie Quinn Hemphill, 1903. What can I say at this point? Prior to the pandemic, I had been working part time. I’ll tell you more about work later. Prior to that, I went back to my novel and finally finished the thing. I’ve only convinced one, out of the ten or so people to whomContinue reading ““New Beginnings are Joyous. They Remind You So Succinctly of Your Mistakes””
A Little Lynching is Nothing to be Shy about
Small Alabama Editor Advocates for the Klan to Lynch Democrats We have here further evidence that the forth Civil War has begun. In this case it was tapped out by editor Goodloe Sutton. Writing such as this makes the rational, open minded, decent socialist in me glad that I have a .357 magnum. Still, though,Continue reading “A Little Lynching is Nothing to be Shy about”
