Religion and Irreligion

I keep wanting this blog to be funny, but I keep being seduced from my purpose by well meaning people who seem determined to spout misinformation about stuff I really care about. The latest is a post by a wonderful, if misguided, blogger who passionately objects to the Catholic Church because she th

Reality Check

I used to enjoy the Real Housewives of Orange County. This was back when they were merely clueless and pneumatic, and I watched even though they were, for the most part, neither housewives nor real. I found their vapid self-absorption fascinating, if a little scary. Their blond ambitions and their a

What My Dogs Think

I wondered if my dogs find it odd that I'm allowed to pee in the house. Then I wondered if they find it odd that I pee in their water bowl.

The Ideology of Neo-Barbarism

Get your own knuckles at the knuckle tattoo gun. I had a visit yesterday from a couple of young women from Jehovah’s Witnesses. They caught me outside walking the dog. There was a group of about 10 of them canvassing our neighborhood. This happens quite often, at least every other month or

Howling Antiquities

Seven hundred turned out in 1967 to see the Great Angry Poet. We came to hear him howl. We came to cheer as he banked coals of invective against the walls of the establishment. We came as a congregation to stand in the light of the conflagration. We meant to use the flames to

Technology We Can Live With

I had a conversation with a kid who made my sandwich at Subway tonight. I’ve seen this kid working there before. He’s fairly new at his job. He was unusually chatty tonight. I guess it’s taken him some time to loosen up enough to initiate a conversation with an older patron. I wasn’t in a
