Niki Haley, demonstrating just how far into white supremacy the GOP has fallen, refused to say that slavery was the cause of the American Civil War. Needless to say, slavery was the issue that brought blood to the table during that time period, and the war was most definitely about slavery. She refused to state…

Before I begin, I hope everyone who celebrates had a lovely Christmas. Writing may slow down some through the new year. Though, lets me fair, this place is already kind of sporadic. But I hope to continue to keep to at least one new post a week in the new year. Now on with irritating…

Each day until Christmas, I am going to write briefly about a Christmas song I enjoy. Because I can, that’s why. And I an unabashed corny dork. Except today.  Today is about the most horrific Christmas song of all time. Christmas Shoes is the most horrible, un-Christian Christmas song of all time. Not only is…

Each day until Christmas, I am going to write briefly about a Christmas song I enjoy. Because I can, that’s why. And I am an unabashed corny dork. Not much to say about this.  People seem to love it or hate it, and since its on my list you can assume where I fall.  It’s…

I am not sure this qualifies as a Christmas song, but it is played a lot during the season, and it has Christmas in the title, so, eh. If Die Hard gets to be a Christmas movie, this gets to be a Christmans song. It is a slow, contemplative song whose joy is more about…

Waymo put out a report that claimed it as six times safer than human drivers. I don’t think that it is impressive as it sounds. Before getting into the details, though, we really should acknowledge that Waymo is doing this the right way. They are using public data, though there are limits I will discuss,…

Each day until Christmas, I am going to write briefly about a Christmas song I enjoy. Because I can, that’s why. And I am an unabashed corny dork. Because we have reached the point of the holiday season where we all dream of murdering our more annoying relatives. Or is that just me? Anyway, Elvis…

Rudy is another mawkish song, but that’s okay. Sincerity is often seen as mawkish, and the best of the values that the Christmas season purports to propagate are sincere. Good will to people and peace on Earth are not, at their core, held ironically. And this song by the Be Good Tanyas is certainly sincere…

Each day until Christmas, I am going to write briefly about a Christmas song I enjoy. Because I can, that’s why. And I an unabashed corny dork. A classic.  It has been argued that one of the reasons that Christianity spread through the Roman Empire where other mystery cults struggled was that Christianity offered a…
