It’s time to call a time of death on something that may never have existed in the first place: the liberal media. I’m not sure the exact date to put on the tombstone for either birth (of course at one time the media was as doctored and corporatized by big business as it is now) or…

Petty Issues Week 4
And they wonder why America is so fat: You can’t have a commercial with a Dr. Pepper, Doritos, McDonald’s, etc. commercial. When’s the last time you saw a fucking commercial for lettuce? I’ve lost a little weight since the beginning of the year through a diet of spontaneous vomitting after watching John Boehner cry about…
Larger Editorial: Why Jesus Would Support Unions
Partial Caveat: This could easily go into Sunday’s Sermons (and was supposed to originally) but if I wait until Sunday to post it, who knows if unions will even still be around. Plus, this section is where I post something I value every week, and for me the issue of unions is about as close to…

Petty Issues Week 1
Jewelry companies have advertised 400 times more than usual in the run up to Valentine’s Day. Why don’t they just show a picture of an angry girlfriend opening a box of candy with the tag line “Our advertising is designed to make her disappointed?” I wonder if alcohol commercials will increase around St. Patrick’s Day……
