ABSURDUS apoPLEXUS
The road to dystopia is paved with utopian ideologies, a bravura in
belligerence and a penchant for brandishing one's engorged primacy over others.

Trump: Close Encounters of the Third Reich

GOP Primaries: Irate minds think alike
Sarah Palin is not one to shy away from expressing her views no matter how unsubstantiated or half-baked they are. So it’s no surprise that she has finally weighed in on the GOP presidential primaries to endorse none other than Donald Trump. ...CONTINUE READIND>>

US Congress: All It Takes Is An Act

Reagan to Thatcher: An Apology (the Call)
The setting: 10 Downing Street, private chambers, October 1983, late evening. US Forces have just invaded the Caribbean island of Grenada to depose its Marxist–Leninist government.

Reagan to Thatcher: An Apology (the Song)

Penitentiary Interiors: To Die For

Hate Group Recruitment: The Klux of the Matter
In a last-ditch effort aiming at reversing declining membership, Ku Klux Klan (KKK), the not so lovey-dovey organization with a penchant for Halloween-like attire and pyromania, has of late denounced racism, denounced their "hate group" status of days of yore and rebranded themselves ...CONTINUE READIND>>

It is a safe bet when you read axiomatic superlatives regarding the nation like the following: "the greatest force for good the world has ever known", in the context of an advocacy group, a zealous political speech or on Fox News, that you are dealing with some permutation of the good-ol' ...CONTINUE READIND>>

Religious Fundamentalism: Linguistic Contortions
In conjunction with the philosophical meta-question of "Can you have too much freedom?" (assuming there is such a thing) and the derivative "Can there be too much tolerance?", comes the as vexingly important "Can you have too little intolerance?" conundrum. The resounding answer, ...CONTINUE READING >>

US Primaries: Lipstick Virility
That a war-veteran, hog-castrating aficionado, "farm girl" would also be a gun-wielding, Harley-straddling, leather-adorned chick is naturally no surprise to a casual observer of GOP, and conservative at large, antics. With her second TV ad Senatorial candidate Joni Ernst has ...CONTINUE READING >>

Sarah Palin is at It Again: US Amaziness
All brand new Sarah Palin TV series exploring the amaziness (Sarah is an onomatopoeia-affictionado) of America (a.k.a exceptionalism, wackiness, etc) with bucketfulls of shooting down, skining or taxidermizing vertebrates, monster-truck and other gas-guzling-vehicle racing & crashing, a variety of patriotic oudoorsy locales and a theme song from the (self-described) "most patriotic band".

US Primaries: Of Hogs and Congress
An enticing intro ("I'm Joni Ernst. I grew up castrating hogs on an Iowa farm"), loads of cute piglets (two of which are even spooning! >>presumably cuteness is a byproduct of castration) and some swine-metaphors. Yes, the art of political advertisement has never been more creative, (if by creative we mean porking out on wackiness).

US Governement demonstrates that it has a sense of humor
Sprint Let the Government Spy on its customers and now it's getting sued by the Government. This is brilliant on so many levels: the US Governement brazenly attempting to turn the tables on its recent eavesdropping PR debacle // The blurry aspect (both legally and morally) of privacy rights abuse vs the quantifiable aspect of financial abuse // The diverging, but not mutually exclusive, possible motives of greed, gall and retribution behind Sprint's fleecing the Feds // The Pynchonian administrative minutiae of invoicing such covert interceptions.

US Primaries: Russians Bearing Gifts
Russia Banned A Random Group of American Politicians From Coming to Russia. Conclusive proof that the Russians are not at all mean-spirited or vindictive, but on the contrary benevolent and altruistic: They have just given several US politicians heading for the Mid Terms the best possible present for their campaigns.

News Media: The Bottom of the Barrel
That Russia Today America anchor Liz Wahl dad had enough is understadable and her resignation on air commendable. Now let's cross our fingers that she won't be headhunted by Fox News. On another note, I am wondering if watching both RT & Fox News cancel each other out in terms of misinformation or if it's a telltale sign of bipolarism? Considering that a recent study found that people watching Fox News are less informed than those not watching any news, it is only fair to assume than watching both news channels causes Alzheimer's.

Advertsing: Historical Context
This add, from an online dating service for married people to cheat, is either the epitome of clever advertising or the kernel of cynicism. Then again those concepts are often tautological. Under greater scrutiny, one is also left to wonder the meaning of "prosperity" the add is promoting considering that the cheating Presidents displayed as the epitome of prosperous cheating were (in chronological order) suffered from polio, was shot dead, publicly humiliated and impeached.

Racist Attire: Much Worse Than Racist Behaviour
KKK Imperial Wizard Hates to See Kids in Klan Costumes: 'There's No Respect' he sais. Letting aside the irony, cases like this demonstrate how extremist ideologies, cultivated by such groups, are by nature and intent prone not only to dispersion by adherents of such ideologies, but also amplification, resulting in such grotesque manifestations that sometimes even the orchestrators consider unbecoming (mind you, not because for their wrongfulness, but for their ridiculing the "ideology"). The fundamental issue being that such ideologies when "active" are inherently bound to gravitate towards their logical extremes.

COALITION OF THE WILLING (to screw other people over)
Apparently Mormons, Catholics, Baptists and Lutherans Team Up to Fight Gay Marriage. Setting aside the You-Must-be-Tripping-on-Hard-Drags statement that they are not at all bigoted but rather guided by reason (gasp at your leisure), experience (in intolerance) and fact (loads of those in the bible), I am perplexed as to how these 4 organizations that disagree on basic things like the rapture, means of salvation, the existence of purgatory, marriage of clergy, baptism, original sin, etc, managed to agree on this. But then again, discrimination and exclusion have always been such strong unifying concepts.

Creationism meets Paleontology (and trust me you don't want to meet their offspring)
Apparently dinosaurs were once vegetarian, hand-fed by Adam & Eve, later turned carnivore with all the Abel & Cain brouhaha, then after surviving the Flood (in the arc obviously) domesticated by men and even later getting extinct by greedy men turning them into meat-plates and handbags. Bonus tip for the kids: All scientists adhering to atheist ideas like Evolution will face "everlasting punishment".

Racist Melee: Alien vs Predator #4: Civil Society
Battle of the Hate Groups: KKK Takes on Westboro. On the one hand you have the KKK waxing about the hard-earned value of free speech and on the other the Westboro crowd explaining how racism on the basis of skin color is completely unfounded and unbiblical. KKK is pissed at Westboro for dissing soldiers and Westboro is pissed at KKK for dissing blacks. And all these without a single grain of humor.

Heretical Nuns
The Vatican reprimanded US nuns "for focusing its work too much on poverty and economic injustice, while keeping silent on abortion and same-sex marriage". Those american nuns are practically heretical, probably doing strip-shows on their spare-time and donating the proceeds to hobos, who we all know are atheists, and feeding them baloney-rolls during Lent.

FOX says 'Muppets' are brainwashing kids. Another case of blatant manipulation of children's minds by the socialist Media revealed by stawart childern-defender Fox News.
