LETTER TO A YOUNG LEFTY It [may] get better.
Letter sent to a Lefty ‘Friend’ who gets a little hectic online. Dear —–, It’s all in good debate. But I reserve the right to call you on your shit. The Left is the Left’s biggest problem. Good intentions pave the roads to hell. For example, I still maintain the gay marriage thing has been [...]

So Barry won!? Now what? PUT POLLYANNA TO BED. Top 10 suggestions for the Lethargic Left
While I am relishing the victory against Death Star Kolob as much as anyone, I respectfully disagree with the emerging media-driven hype, which I think gets into dangerous rhetorical territory: like the ultra-radical feminists who’d have us believe that ‘all men’ are synonymous with ‘patriarchy’; ‘all white men’ are not synonymous with ‘Romney.’ I think [...]
DEAR TUESDAY (September 11th)
Dear Tuesday: 9/11 My mother says that her world changed with the bang of the rifle held by Lee Harvey Oswald. (And his accomplices- my words). What the dark side learned on that day is that it could in fact, get away with anything. And it did and it has. Eleven years ago, my world [...]
WEIMAR AMERICA: How the Progressive Left Fanned the Flames of the Clown Show in Tampa (short list)
After my friend Marty Lipton died, I started going to ActUP meetings in New York City. While I give the group an enormous amount of credit, I also learned how appalling public service and activism can be. Go anywhere, to any public forum, and brace yourself while ignorance silences the voices of progress. What transpired [...]
Apple strikes again: one more blow to free computing and your wallet
A few years ago, I wrote about my disdain for Apple Computers’ shady business practices. I still maintain these machines are built to fail, over time, and cost the already-skint consumer even more money. I’ve also written how their Overlord, Steve Jobs, was no saint. Now at cash-rich Apple, they’ve struck again, but this time [...]
Politics, the Dalai Lama, and Christian Theatre – DL visits London
21 June 2012 – The divisions in the world have never been more apparent to me than yesterday at Westminster Abbey, for an ecumenical service with H.H. the Dalai Lama of Tibet. I went with an open mind – as most of these ‘things’ are handled in that oh-so-frothy vanilla sort of way. You know, [...]
Hoodies, Hookers, Honkys and Ho’s: My First and Only Slam Rap
I’ll keep this short. I wrote this in response to a prominent ‘slam poet’ who I thought fought the good fight, and who attacked me online for having an opinion. After the Trayvon Martin killing, and London riots, I’ve developed strong views about ‘hoodies’ and other Hollywood-and-MTV-and-Fashion industry bullshit which I believe is a major [...]
NC 2012: The Hee Haw Hayseed Show. Dear Queers, Blame Your So-Called Leaders
Let me get this (cough) straight. The US is in social decline. Gun-toting rednecks run the show. The economy is in the toilet. So what does everyone do? Well, queers pick a fight with the rednecks. And rednecks pick a fight with queers. Queers 0, Rednecks 1. And no one accomplishes anything. Now everybody gets [...]
This American Life sandbags Mike Daisey over details. Apple Ipad 4 out! Idiots camping in tents. #coincidence? or #ApplePR • STAND BY YOUR THEATRE
I don’t even have to read it all. I DON’T WANT TO F*ING READ IT. America sinks to a new low as MIKE DAISEY is witch hunted over details. About 2 weeks ago, I was speaking on the phone with one of my mentors, Mary Folliet in New York. We’ve been celebrating the theatrical triumph [...]
The KING is DEAD! LONG LIVE THE KING! MLK Jr: 5 gutsy things that made a true leader (and probably got him killed).
As the loathsome right-wing, funded by Corporania™ seeks to rewrite all of history, I am reminded on this particular day of a conversation I had about a year ago with Clarence B Jones, co-author of Martin Luther King Jr’s ‘I Have A Dream’ speech. After an eloquent lecture on the real events that shaped much [...]
HAPPY DAMMIT 2012: 5 “GOODYUNS” from the land of Curmudgeon *barf*
“You’re too negative!” — “Why can’t you just write about something nice?” FINE Mom. But, sorry folks, I don’t do ‘nice.’ Nice is part of what I believe has society in what my grandpa would describe as “one mell of a hess.” And Newsflash: having a dissenting opinion does not make you ‘negative.’ However, I’d [...]
Strategy: QUEERBAITING – 5 reasons you should closely watch Bradley Manning in Obama’s Kangaroo Court
Ladies, Gentlemen and everyone in-between, the stage is set. And while the so-called leaders of groups like MoveOn, ACLU, and HRC are shopping at Ball-you-Mart, the Obama-led US government is bringing change you’ll soon fucking believe in: Nazism 2.0 Manning, in brief: He posted some footage of US War Crimes, basically a bunch of trigger-happy [...]
10 Good Reasons the Word ‘GAY’ must ‘GO’
In honor of World AIDS and the boat load of loved ones who died at the hands of a disease I remain convinced was invented by the military for war, usurped by the big-pharma for profit, and allowed to fester by passively-genocidal maniacs (Reagan, Thatcher, Bush) in the White House and 10 Downing Street. — [...]
UNCLE TOM’S PARK: Where the Hell is Barack Obama?
Unless you’re brain dead, you know that Occupy Wall Street was forced out of Zucotti Park by riot police. You’ve also seen the footage of unarmed civilians being beaten by jackbooted thugs, also cops. And the photo of an elderly woman being maced in Seattle; and kids shot with riot rounds in Oakland. News [...]
Top 10 things WRONG with the Left — “Mommy! Help!”
TOP 10 THINGS WRONG WITH THE LEFT The Right Wing has been doing the same thing for centuries… They kill the indigenous Indians, push Puritan propaganda, they hang innocent teenagers for blasphemy (Thomas Aikenhead), upset governments and stash the cash. Predictably – boringly. The contemporary Left has bought into the spin, and with the exception [...]
10 Easy Ways to Support the 99% and Defeat Corporania while sitting at your desk.
If you traded Jesus for Jobs last week, I stand by my post. Jobs was not God, computers are only tools. If not, it’s time to put up or shut up. Become the solution: 10. BE MEAN. Don’t ‘LIKE’ companies, chain, stores, shops or advertisements on Facebook. This doesn’t make you popular, prettier, or more [...]
