The Taylor Swift worldwide football extravaganza was sensational and I am now ready to venture unimpeachable predictions: A century from now, there will be a burgeoning major religion worshiping the pop diva as divinely inspired. And a much smaller cult relegated to the 22nd Century dark web in adoration of Commissar Donaldov of RasPutingrad. Starting a religion is a … [Read more...]
Siren princesses traumatize trolls
I usually avoid Hollywood award shows but made an exception for last Sunday’s Grammies when I learned of Joni Mitchell’s inclusion. It was one helluva show, and not just for the American icon. Stevie Wonder’s “For Once in My Life” duet with the late great Tony Bennett was perfect. Echoing the technology that won every award in the book for Natalie Cole (who recorded … [Read more...]
Commissar T-Rump Serves Czar RasPutin
Today’s mish-mashed media morass of news and entertainment (there’s a difference?) favors the defrocked president. Throw so much out there many times a day that it’s hard for the pros, let alone the proles, to focus on any one thing. So T-Rump can focus all at will.

Neither made … [Read more...]
Portents from the Terminator
“You know the world is going to hell when the best golfer is black and the best rapper is white.” -- Charles Barkley, 2003 Last Tuesday’s Reno Gazette-Journal front page made me think of that bit of wit from Sir Charles. His pop culture portent has proven all too accurate. “Pandemic Not Done” the RGJ reported with an article from the Kaiser Family Foundation. “People … [Read more...]
Control freaks and crackerjacks
The Orange Crusher’s presidential denial of COVID-19 danger caused somewhere between 200,000 and half a million needless American deaths. Now, Dr. T-Rump is favored to re-take the presidency. Politics is just a big tailgate party for the Red Team. Covid, RSV and Influenza are just liberal hoaxes. The Washoe County School District no longer requires vaccinations. Just sign … [Read more...]
