Speak To Me: David Brooks' Speech to the Delegates
My fellow Americans, it is an honor to address the Democratic National Convention at this defining moment in history. We stand at a crossroads at a pivot point, near a fork in the road on the edge of a precipice in the midst of the most consequential election since last year’s “American Idol.” One path [...]

The Commodification of (White) Morality: Who'll Pay Reparations on My Soul?
Like Gil Scott-Heron (you may be familiar with his hit “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised“), I’m going to spend this post, the first in a long time, asking the admittedly pretentious-sounding question, “Who’ll Pay Reparations on My Soul?”. I’m asking because it sure won’t be Whole Foods, or hybrid cars, or organic cigarettes, or [...]

Garfield Minus Garfield: The Analogy With U.S. Politics and Scratching Your Balls
There’s something about U.S. Foreign Policy that’s a bit off. “No, really,” you say, “wow, I thought we were just flouting international law with no possible repercussions because no one will ever have more power than we do.” But recently one perfect analogy of the

Our Masculine Systems: Women's Inequality Under the U.S. Constitution
Back in the day, in 1776, when our Founding Father and future second president John Quincy Adams was helping to draft the constitution, his wife, (Founding Mother?), Abigail Adams, asked him to “Remember the ladies” in that august document. He replied, in a letter, “Depend upon it, We know better than to repeal our Masculine [...]

America, I Love You, But I Think We Should See Other People
Ok, so the funniest part, to me, is that I found this video with this comment: “would this tick you off? [] thinks it’s hilarious. clearly, it’s mostly funny because of a stupid american stereotype. it’s mildly clever and funny, but don’t you agree that the stereotype is a big part of it?” What stereotype?

Vibrators: All Abuzz about that Pecuniary Value.
As recently as Monday, according to the Associated Press, the Supreme Court left an Alabama ban on sex toys intact, meaning that you can still face a $10,000 fine or up to 1 year in jail… for a pleasure device. A second offense can lead to up to 10 years in prison. To quote a [...]
