Prison Break–Doin’ Life in Assisted Living

I had a flashback to my old prison days this week. For a moment, it seemed like I was on the yard and I spotted a convict passing a knife for another con to use. Something was about to go down. But this flashback was actually in a memory care unit for seniors. Okay, let […]

Was it A Comet or a Conspiracy?

I saw a comet last night. At least that’s what I’m supposed to think. The timing was suspicious. And the government (with a lower case g) was quick to respond to the sightings and report them as a meteor burning up in the atmosphere. Now, I ask you, when has the government ever–ever been so […]

Get Out Of My E-Mail!

The rise of the machines is happening. It began with a very not-so-subtle e-mail from my medical insurance provider.

They seem to hit the […]

A Big Machine

Green light! My green light isn’t the traffic light kind. Nothing as benign as a simple traffic signal. Why is there a green light on the top of my computer screen?

Kids, dressed in their spooky little costumes knock on your door, say “Trick or Treat,” and you give them candy.  Pretty simple, wouldn’t you agree?’ Then, why in the name of everything Halloweenie, do some […]

Get Off My Damn Island!

Have you ever wished that reality television was real? I don’t mean to pop your bubble here, but what passes for reality television has about as much basis in real life as a six legged cat from the pages of a Dr. Seuss story. The Real Housewives of Fargo, or wherever the hell that show […]

The Real Domestic Terrorism Threat

I’ve uncovered an insidious conspiracy, one strategic push threatening to bring the walls of our civilization crumbling down around us. This menace is so vile and inhumane that the Geneva Conventions considers their activities war crimes.  This terror cell uses deception and coercive techniques, including: Torture Forcing victims to swear allegiance to a false doctrine Genital mutilation Held […]

How To Identify A Conspiracy

There is no such thing as paranoia. Your worst fears can come true at any moment. Hunter S. Thompson Who doesn’t love a good conspiracy theory?  Conspiracies have existed since the dawn of time, probably back to the day our hunter-gatherer forefathers led tribal rivals into the tar pits. What is it about a juicy […]
