A great game from two “underdog” teams
Kickoff for the Danes against the Czechs. I’ll be writing this as I watch.
I love these kinds of games, where two teams that are fairly talented with a couple of well-known players go up against each other. It’s a refreshing break from all of the teams like England and…
Scrolling through Twitter looking at activity from the Cooligans and Men In Blazers when I realize, by god! Its already past noon! I’ve missed the kick off for the game! …
Being a soccer fan in America is miserable.
First of all, while I’m proud to be an American, I’m generally ashamed of most things related to American Soccer. We lose our world cup qualifying matches to teams like Trinidad & Tobago. We sat by and let legends like Landon Donavon…
Notes from a Leftist without a party
The Republican and Democratic parties have become so splintered and broken that many politically educated people are refraining from identifying with either of them. In the GOP there are wings of the party that span a long axis from libertarian to conservative on…
A letter
Your parents asked me to housesit for them while they went to Outer Banks on vacation. We’ve grown pretty close since you passed away, so I’ve been over there for dinner plenty of times and have helped them with some yardwork. Two weeks after you died, I was there every…
How my car nearly got swallowed by the ocean
I was driving North on the Outer Banks in search of wild horses on day eight (or nine?) of my road trip. The tarmac turned to sand.
No problem. I thought. I’m in a fucking Subaru. Subarus are like the U.S. Postal Service. Nothing stops them. Not snow. Not rain…

Biden, 78-years-old and seemingly in cognitive decline (along with his equally ancient…
My Gradual Dissociation from News Networks and Stumbling onto a Path Towards Truth
It started over a decade ago, before I could sniff out bullshit and call it for what it was. I was in middle school, and Jon Stewart was on The Daily Show. I started watching because he was funny, but I kept watching because he was showing me something I…
Here’s what I recall after this trip through the universe
The night before my road trip through America, I took a winding psychedelic trip through the universe with my best friend, Jesus. (No, not the Arab-Jew on the cross, but a Mexican man with whom I shared many a troublesome story. Pronounced ‘Hay-Zeus’). We had each taken the biggest hit…
FDR’s Right Hand, a progressive who led us out of the Great Depression and shaped the future for Americans
Henry A. Wallace was the shining knight in America’s darkest hours, but his light has faded into obscurity due to the unforgiving passing of time and a corrupt group of leaders who did everything to silence him and his work.
Wallace was FDR’s right hand as a Vice President and…
