Everyone On OS With Cancer Secretly Cured

That's right. Everyone!  By joining OS and typing on your keyboard all cancer sufferers have been exposed to a powerful treatment regimen of selectron particles flowing through the fingertips and to the site of the tumor or neoplasm. This is NOT A MAGICAL process or Power-Of-Positive-Thinking ki/… Read full post »

We got a young dog this past summer, a Labrador Retriever. I was taking her for walks to the local liquor store because I wanted to train her to go on her own and carry booze back for me in a little backpack when I'm too lazy to go myself. One day in the… Read full post »

Can Moonlight Make Obama's Skin Whiter?

The Prez was just in Florida touting the largest solar power installation in America. Solar power is a keystone of the Green Energy initiative hopefully weaning America from dependence on foreign oil. But what about lunar, or 'moon' power?  The moon has traditionally played second fiddle to the… Read full post »

I'm a Canadian with a strong attachment to the United States. I was born in Windsor, across the river from Detroit. My dad worked in the automotive industry, and my mom worked part time in the old Hudson's Dept. store in Detroit. My dad's cousin, another World war II vet, lived… Read full post »

Psst...Little Girl

Yes, you in the copper-gilded Sailor Moon dress. That's a pretty color. It's okay. I'm a friend of your daddy's. There are a few minutes left till the end of recess. Oh?...yes, that's my van. It's the same color as your dress...and doesn't it look neat parked under the trees, where… Read full post »

Arianna was kneeling in front of the massive solid oak desk in the inner sanctum of her office. Her voluptuous motherly thighs (motherly from having borne 3 teen daughters fully formed, like Athena from the forehead of Zeus, thanks to her Greek heritage) vibrated their inner cellulite against each ot… Read full post »

Here are some musings on religion, sexuality, and high school life:

1) Is the moral and physical downfall of Man and the Universe the result of a bitch fight/spat between that old Closet Queen God and the most beautiful inhabitant of Heaven, Lucifer, who then became Satan? Lucifer is known… Read full post »

In case you haven't heard, Al Qaeda has developed a rectum insertable bomb device as a way of concealing enough plastic explosives to destroy an airliner when the suicide bomber 'mule' detonates his rectum with a weak radio signal that can be transmitted from a wristwatch or cellphone. Forg… Read full post »

I've just wound up a Sunday evening get together of elderly relatives. My 80-year old aunt hosts a monthly dinner for friends and distant relatives. I actually enjoy the after dinner conversation, as the old gents smoke foul cheroots and the genteel ladies sip sherry. And it is remarkable how this… Read full post »

"Dying is not symmetrical, not a mirror image, of being born," Bernhard, my Heidegger expert, enunciated over a steaming hot chocolate. We sat in the low-rent strip-mall coffee shop as rain drops spattered its plate window. "Death is a sudden stoppage, like smashing a vase, or statue, with shard… Read full post »

Dinner tonight is a melange of melange...politically correct Nigerian free-trade mango and mock-dolphin pressed-oceanic potpourri..caught by organic mesh drift nets weaved together by the gnarled fingers of Untouchable dark-skinned widow women of the Tamil coast who have escaped Singhalese enforced s… Read full post »

The National Association of Poultry Producers (NAPP) has issued a Talking Points Memo to be used by industry members in presenting our findings to the public and media on the subject of the superiority of Black Mississipian Roosters over the White Minnesotan strain/breed of Pale-Feathered Roosters or… Read full post »

What's your number one question to ask God when you die? I've been thinking about this since running into an old friend in the grocery store today...she is a school-teacher in a Catholic school and having to deal with her mother's cancer diagnosis...she told me earnestly today over the lettuce and… Read full post »

With all the encomiums to Senator Edward Kennedy now I can't help thinking how the world would have been different if Elvis Presley had become the 40th President of the United States instead of Ronald Reagan. This has long been a fantasy of genuine moderates...the notion that the King, had he… Read full post »

A team of crack clairvoyants has channelled horrific visions of the Obama health reform Death Panels. By 2010, if instituted, the Death Panels will not only be mandatorily euthanizing senior citizens and aborting all white male feotuses...they will be constantly on the road travelling to all of Ameri… Read full post »

Seeing as I have had to prepare Sunday School lessons for my sick cousin teacher, I thought I would share my list of Top 10 questions the kids in class will be asked to think about. Input from their parents and all concerned will be appreciated since theologians in the best Colleges… Read full post »

The workings of the global economy are a mystery to almost everyone but one fact remains constant...the need for a secure store of value on which paper, or fiat, money can be based.

Education....Piss On It

What is the intrinsic value of education in our society? All politicians, business and community leaders keep banging the drum of education...polls show Americans put education as a top value in social policy second only to health care. This extolling of education however is a huge exercise in hypocr… Read full post »

That's what the tired, cynical old Bowling Ball said to the Point or 10-Pin at the bowling alley...sorry, hope you don't feel you've wasted a mouse click.

When I was a teenager I kept hearing stories from my pimply, gangly spastic friends about 'the guy who jerked off into women's orders of coffee' in different sizes of styrofoam coffee cups. This being in the 1970s these were not fancy lattes or little simpering Turkish pipebowls filled with elixir… Read full post »

With the increasing normalization of same-sex marriage the last outstanding practical, as opposed to moral, objection to this development remains unanswered, to wit, the idea that the benefits of marriage, such as pensions, insurance coverage, etc., are being unfairly granted to such unions when othe… Read full post »

Does Your Vagina Need Dentures?

In the Middle Ages the prevailing anti-sex, anti-woman Christian paradigm conjured up the trope of the vagina dentata, or toothed vagina, rimmed with a circular array of nasty gnashers, as a potent visual symbol of male anxiety over sexual intercourse and the fear, dread, and loathing of women and th/… Read full post »

The railroad tracks were laid in crescents and hallucinogenic spirals on the flat shingled roofs of all the manboys in the clique. Overnight, iron horse locomotives each pulling several Pullman freight cars descended like Santa in his sleigh and deposited a peck of burlap sacks' worth of Bartlett Pea… Read full post »
