The Christian activist group ‘One Million Moms’ who, as of this writing have 3,649 followers on Twitter, are taking the makers of Kit Kat to task for their new ad because Missy Elliott reminds them of penises.

James Schlarmann March 18, 2019, 4:25 pm 1 Comment

In an age when the president has no problem inserting hyper-partisan rhetoric in a veto signing statement of an ultimately bipartisan rejection of one of his emergency declaration, why not examine what happened in this country that would make it possible for the party of Abraham Lincoln to become the party of Confederate monument defending […] More

Dan Broadbent March 14, 2019, 12:38 pm

Ah yes, Indiana. My home state. The state where I was born, grew up, and have lived all 35 years of my life. With exception of Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, the Chicago area, and a pocket near Bloomington (where Indiana University is located), the state is very much pro-Trump. After all, our state legislature tried to let […] More

What’s the one line from Jeff Goldbum in Jurassic Park , that really famous one? No! That’s not the one I’m thinking of.

The majority of what I write is satirical fiction. You would think that the headline “College is Bad for America, Say Majority of Republicans,” would be one of those satirical headlines. After all, how can college be bad for America? Even if you don’t like a particular subject, or a particular professor, isn’t it a […] More
