Life is Fraught With Humiliation

Both petty and grand. The one that still adheres however is the “atomic” wedgie unleashed upon me by a rabid pack of seven-year olds, my tear-streaked, red-faced embarrassment still fresh in my mind despite the incident having happened well over a week ago.

If You Can't Take The Heat, Get Out of The Burka

(But if you do, we’ll stone you to death.) Whenever I see women in Saudi Arabia wearing head-to-toe black tents in 100-degree plus heat I say to myself “Wow! What sort of ‘mind’ set would enforce such off-the-meter callous insanity?” before coming to my senses and realizing the answer, of course, is “religion.”

Silly me.

Fun Fact:

NEWS ITEM: Atheists were almost absent from our prison population as of the late 1990s, comprising less than half of one-percent of those behind bars, according to Federal Bureau of Prisons statistics. This echoes what the criminology field has documented for more than a century: the (religiously) unaffiliated and the non-religious engage in far fewer crimes. (1/15/15 Los Angeles Times)

EDITORIAL: Godless heathens…

Having FINALLY seen "The Devil Wears Prada"...

I think “Unbroken” should have been called “The Devil Wears Khaki.”

In My Ongoing Effort to Spend Eternity in Hell

So my 86-year-old mother calls me, all excited that she’s finally “cancer free.” I say: “Hey! I’ve been cancer free my whole LIFE but you don’t see me walking around bragging about it.”
