Socialism!
Did I shout that loud enough? You should be creeped out and afraid, very very afraid, of a Government Old Age pension (Social Security) and subsidized Medical care (Medicare/Medicaid) without which you’d have deal with Mumsey and Pop Pop rattling around at a cost of Thousands, perhaps Hundreds of them, unless you push ’em out …

Some Democratic Socialism
Occasionally I feel you think I have only the single Nobel Prize winning economist up my sleeve. Pfui. He ain’t even the Liberal one. A ‘democratic socialist’ agenda is appealing.

Bless Your Heart
I suppose the shocking Oedipal revelation does kind of make the gouging of eyeballs superfluous but it’s an important bit of staging that wows the audience every time. Still pretending it’s not Justice Theater? Consider whom we share the practice with. This is why the maximum penalty I can endorse is a cell and a …

40 Year Old Comedy Show In Decline!
Film at 11. Seriously, it sucked this week for about the 3rd week in a row. Certainly having Adam Sandler constantly there as a reminder of the ’90s gave it that Episode 2, pounding our way out of a coffin feel, well, that and Zombie Chris Farley. Yes, it is too soon. Why do you …
