Accountability

A recent poll revealed a majority of voters favored impeaching or censoring the current White House resident. Given the wide range of alleged crimes and offenses, accountability appeared to be the unifying theme behind voter disapproval.

A more revealing poll might be their current opinion on the consequences of their votes. Would they - could they - accept the consequences of their actions and hold themselves accountable for the current state of the Union?

Special Theory of Capitol Relativity

With more and more American policy being dictated by corporate boards of directors, what relevance has the U.S. Capitol?

It has become a gentrified historic tourist attraction staffed by Congress performing re-enactments of American democratic process.

Drug American Style

Globalization pervades every aspect of American life. World-sourced parts are crafted in America to produce American commodities.

America's opioid epidemic has gone the same route. Ingredients are world-sourced to produce domestic overdoses. The finest quality raw materials can be ordered online. Customer service is first class: your money back if your shipment is intercepted by law enforcement.

Brilliant Idea

What is mankind's most stupid invention?

Is it technology, artificial intelligence, war, or is it time?

He would do well to figure it out while there's still time.

Entitlement = Sexism

There can be no greater denigration of women than mandating their representation on corporate boards. Their board seats become entitlement set-asides. Set asides reduce them to second-class minority citizens.

Instead of equal to their male counterparts, entitled women board members may find themselves being seen as corporate chicks or boardroom Barbies.

American values 4th of July 2018

Time to return to the basic American value:

Not America first.

Just America.

Of Human Knowledge

Immersed deep in concentration, man has had many an epiphany while seated on the toilet, perhaps the true seat of human knowledge.
He is humbled considering its source.

Not your Grandfather's Europe

 Not your grandfather's Europe - or even your great-grandfather's Europe.

It took two world wars for it to learn its lesson in the consequences of nationalism and isolationism. Europe today stands united against American states disunited from "we the People" to "me the Person".

Put on a brave face

Ignorance puts on its brave face of arrogance then finds its voice in bluster.

Your attention please

Attention spans have become so short that TV commercials must repeat three times during each commercial break in a desperate bid to distract viewers' attention away from their cell phones.

This could be an ominous sign for the Economy if the strategy doesn't get viewers to remember to buy advertised goods.

Scarier still is the prospect of how they will focus on the task of running the world.

A morality tale

ABC did the right thing in forgoing profit to stand up to bigotry when it cancelled Rosanne's TV show.

It inspires hope that the White House reality show may yet be cancelled.

That's progress for you

Mankind has spent its existence complaining, yet doing nothing about the weather.

At long last mankind is doing something about the weather: global warming.

America the beautiful

Fat, angry, with bad hair, baggy clothes and saggin' pants attitude: at last a president who embodies today's typical American male.

Donald Trump's anger is easily understood. It's challenging to wake up each morning to a bad hair day.

Put on a happy face - forever

Plastic surgery: when vanity puts its worst face forward. It's a comb-over done on the face.
Neither fools anyone.
In youth, they're called wrinkles.
In old age they're referred to as character lines.
On anyone else, they're crows' feet.
