Reading Time: < 1 minuteAfter thoughtfully removing all of the young, colored candidates, the Democrats now have a strong field of rich, white septuagenarians, the perfect people to take on the current rich, white septuagenarian in the White House.
Reading Time: 2 minutesI, for one, was ecstatic when Bernie remarked,
“American journalists talk about how bad a country is because people are lining up for food. That’s a good thing! In other countries people don’t line up for food; the rich get the food and the poor starve.”
Reading Time: < 1 minuteSanders commented,
“I don’t know much about that, but I know that the USSR, who had great public infrastructure, and who provided free meals to its citizens, they fought those people. So if you ask me, in my book, Cenk, pulling out of Afghanistan is the wrong idea.”
Reading Time: < 1 minuteDoha, Qatar—While the Trump administration tries to spin the peace deal with the Taliban as a good thing, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow has pointed out that it’s another sign that Trump just doesn’t support the troops. “In the worst economy we’ve ever seen, Trump decides to end over 18 years of solid employment for our troops—what an idiot. How DARE this man end the all-expenses-paid vacations that we were giving our…
Reading Time: < 1 minuteMSNBC’s Rachel Maddow noted, “These people killed Americans, and now Trump’s working with them. Any person who voted for him should be shot.”

Reading Time: 2 minutesFor most of my life, I’ve avoided any deep commitments. Here’s why that will always hurt you.
Reading Time: 2 minutesSanders pointed out we used to be a backward people in America, believing in only a few, paltry, civil liberties which were mostly useless—dumb things like “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” which did no one any real good.
Reading Time: 10 minutesGoldbug Hot Springs in Idaho is worth 2 stars. 3 stars have been deducted for excess urine and an infestation of trashy sex hippies.
Reading Time: 2 minutesVermont Senator Bernie Sanders
Dislikes include: Cubans being wrong about their opinions on Cuba, having to scold vicious Bernie Bros; the Democratic party as a whole.
Likes include: Color TV, which came out when he was 12.
Personal slogan: “What can Red do for you?”
Reading Time: 2 minutesI can’t say that I naturally engage many people—one of my relationships started off with the other person stating that I seemed boring, and from our perspectives, that was an accurate assessment. There is nothing inherently wrong with someone finding you boring; people have different interests, and they might share little in common. The topics I love tend to have little appeal to most, and my personality is more than…
Reading Time: 2 minutesE pluribus unum. Out of many, one. This is a Biblical concept found everywhere from Isaiah 66 to Romans 12. God takes people from all nations and peoples, no matter how unlikely, and makes them one in Christ, often to the surprise of those who currently see themselves as “the one true church.” Having only human eyes with which to see, we can certainly declare some things: people are known by their fruit, disciples…
Reading Time: 3 minutesI am a member of the Church of Christ. I’ve preached and helped out at a number of different assemblies, and I think that we are a denomination, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse, but we’re one that I’m pretty comfortable with, as often we have some solid, Biblical teaching. I’ve noticed that our beliefs can vary a bit, too. In one town, in the assembly, the women will…
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThe Sanders campaign has expressed outrage, noting that while Sanders will definitely have kicked the bucket by 2024, it’s not acceptable for Trump to use such a logo, because it appropriates Bernie’s ideas.
Reading Time: < 1 minuteSanders says he also plans to rename the United States to the “United States Socialist Republic,” as “USSR has a nice ring to it.”
Reading Time: < 1 minuteNew Hampshire—Having failed to stop Bernie in Iowa, where they hired Shadow, Inc., and its subsidiary Clinton LLC, the Democratic National Committee has promised its constituents that they’re going to do better during tonight’s debate. While the debate will feature rigged questions designed to tear down the candidate, Plan is the rigged debate stage, which features a literal trapdoor under Bernie Sanders. A nearby DNC member has a kill-switch that…
Reading Time: 13 minutesA timeless question that brilliant people have answered. Bonus discussion on actual infinites within spacetime.
Reading Time: 2 minutes When I was a younger guy, I was blessed with the opportunity to serve my community through volunteerism in emergency medical services (and also to work professionally in a large city doing the same). Along with some other dedicated individuals, I was able to help influence a cultural shift in a volunteer organization; as part of that shift, I created the following patch to go on uniforms, which we decided…
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWashington, DC—President Trump’s State of the Union Address. He promoted somebody to General. He awarded the Medal of Freedom to a beleaguered, old man. He awarded a scholarship to someone beyond deserving. He reunited a family. He vowed never to forget a daughter killed by ISIS. But Democrats have pointed out rightly that it wasn’t very presidential. After ripping up the speech, Nany Pelosi was seen screeching that it might…
Reading Time: < 1 minuteDes Moines—With the help of an app developed by Spectre, Inc., Republicans were able to get their Trojan-horse candidate the top spot in the Iowa caucuses. While the app initially had a spotty development, it was finished just in time with the help of an elite group of coders loaned to the DNC by Vladmir Putin. Elizabeth Warren, the lone Native American candidate, was happy to receive 18% of the…
Reading Time: 2 minutesUrbanization is associated with increased levels of mental illness, but it’s not yet clear why. It has been suggested that decreased nature experience may help to explain the link between urbanization and mental illness. One mechanism [toward increased mental illness—Luke] might be the impact of nature exposure on rumination, a maladaptive pattern of self-referential thought that is associated with heightened risk for depression and other mental illnesses. Our findings of the effects…
Reading Time: 2 minutesI got to talk for with my buddy Wes today about free will for some time (your taxpayer dollars at work #fraudwasteandabuse ;P ), and we discussed that, in a world with no spiritual side, free will does not exist. In other words, there is no disembodied “consciousness” which can act on your neurons to make them fire in a way of your choosing—it just seems that way, but it’s…
Reading Time: < 1 minuteYou kick yourself for making that dumb decision! What were you thinking? The team tried a play that just didn’t work—gah! Why’d they blow it? Introspection is important, but there’s a subtle, insidious error that can slither into our thinking—creeping determinism. It’s a phenomenon where, over time, we begin to look back and realize how a decision wasn’t going to work out; how all the dots were connecting into a…
Reading Time: 2 minutesIf I could do life all over, I would. Not really for myself. I don’t enjoy my career, and I don’t like where I live, but I’m better off than I deserve. I have better friends than I deserve. And I am happy having my own existence, doing my own thing, seeing things that only I will have a memory of. Usually, when I make the mistake of looking back,…
Reading Time: 2 minutesDo you believe in good and evil? Professor Michael Ruse, a noted atheist and philosopher of science, has correctly noted what morality is in a world without God. In “The Darwinian Paradigm,” he noted: “Morality is a biological adaptation no less than are hands and feet and teeth. Considered as a rationally justifiable set of claims about an objective something, ethics is illusory. I appreciate that when somebody says, “Love…
