Let’s get this out of the way first—I’m basically an atheist. And yes, I like Christmas. That probably doesn’t make a lot of sense at first glance but allow me to explain.
I hate winter, more than any of the other seasons. It’s cold. It’s dark. It’s depressing. Winter holidays like Christmas allow us excuses to organize events with friends and family, where our minds are taken off of the bitter cold and limited sunlight around us. … [Read more]
Мой возлюбленный Пол (My beloved Paul),
Это причиняет боль мне, что Вы бросили меня под автобусом. Я думал, что мы были постоянными задушевными друзьями, работающими к нашей прекрасной капиталистической Утопии, где сильное правило и слабое погибают.

According to Mike Huckabee’s battle cry, CPAC might as well have stood for Conservative People Are Catholic.… [Read more]
I usually agree with everything that comes out of Bill Maher’s mouth. We are simpatico on every topic. Sorry I just love the word simpatico, have ever since I heard Dana Scully use it during a Season Three X-Files episode. I apologize for the momentary digression. Anyway, last week on Real Time with Bill Maher, one of his New Rules was that voters should determine presidential elections the way they decide everything else.… [Read more]
