Posted on August 28, 2012 by Dave

trial by hurry: trying to nail the truth

Posted on August 15, 2012 by Dave

dark nights and black markets

Posted on August 9, 2012 by Dave

We have had films with decidedly overtones of superficial Marxism typical of the James Cameron Avatar variety; or Titanic, a kind of vampiring of the downtrodden and unwashed in the service of champagne socialism. By the same token, The Dark … Continue reading →

nimby: hebrew hellzapoppin’

Posted on May 28, 2012 by Dave

NIMBY is the great hypocrisy that seems to be the unique purview of white, liberal “enlightened” views, the kind of arcane morality beyond the ken of the great unwashed. And illegal immigration is a ot-button issue, the kind of flagration … Continue reading →

what’s in the tea leaves anyway

Posted on May 24, 2012 by Dave

What happens when the secular confronts the religious. Well, sparks fly. The secular create an artificial and contrived caricature of the religious as fanatical right wing ideologues whose criticism undermines the very nature of democracy. And the religious can counter … Continue reading →
