    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    “Larry. Larry my boy, is something troubling you?”Congratulations dad, you finally noticed! Apply this to everything and see how simple it gets.Too many people take it as a slap in the face to their own perceived status when miserable poxy-faced mediocrities pull off the stuff that only John Malkovich ought to.But almost everything in life is accident. What time you got up, the kettle not boiling fast enough and you miss your usual bus, the cops on the roster on a fateful day were too out-of-sha

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    Why reject simple answers? They are often correct.Lindsay Clancy brutally, ruthlessly and with full intent murdered her three children because she wanted to and because she could. Her family made it achievable.It’s missing the truth to discuss whether and when she might be restored to mental sanity, when she might be safe to be released back into society if she continues to be held in a psychiatric facility.

If you don’t win you lose.Politics is war. If there’s bipartisan agreement you’re just armisticing because why would you agree with the goals of an opposing party? If its goals ar

    “The Dress Is Perfect. Can You Just…” (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    Let’s leave aside the foundational idiocy of believing God decided the only way to do it was to engender himself as a human being via the womb of a nice Jewish lady so he could get himself tortured and executed so he could resurrect himself just to go back home again, but this time magically tripled. That is some story!There’s plenty of silly stuff in Judaism too. God help us, we started it.But this is what happens when you decide you can only fit yourself into that one dress you saw in the baza
