Palate Cleanser: Meet Charley

Image
By

As deeply as I drink from the well of bitter disappointment, it's occasionally nice to switch to a sweeter cocktail, preferably one that induces forgetfulness, like the waters of the river Lethe, or Jose Cuervo.

About six months ago my life was notably improved by the addition of a small, furry companion, Charley.


Charley is a three-year-old Brussels Griffon, and is freaking adorable (and surprisingly well-behaved!).


Charley's best canine friend in the world belongs to a neighbor of my parents' named Jan - he is a little white mutt named Toby.

If you, like me, need a little break from news regarding the economy or the environment or the state of income inequality or basically anything that ISN'T a backyard full of sunshine and cute dogs, please enjoy.

Apparently, Liberals Are The Illuminati

By
posted 10/5/2012 by the Salt City Sinner Greetings, sheeple, from my stronghold high atop the Wells Fargo Building in downtown Salt City, where I type this before a massive, glowing bank of monitors that display the ongoing progress of my 23-point plan for complete social control. Whether you want to demonize me as a "liberal," or prefer the Glenn Beck update "progressive," we all know the truth, and it's time to pull the curtain aside: like all left-leaning persons, I am actually a member of the Illuminati. How else to explain how much power my side of the aisle wields in U.S. American politics? According to conservatives, liberals/the Illuminati control the media * , science * , academia in general * , public schools * , public radio * , pretty much anything "public," the courts * , and Hollywood * . Hell, we pretty much control everything except for scrappy, underdog operations like WND and Fox News, or quiet, marginalized voices like...

God, Power, Fear, and Donald Trump

By
Posted on 11/23/2019 by the Salt City Sinner What does it mean to love God, what does it mean to love power, and what does it mean to love Donald Trump? Are these separate questions, or have they become scrambled together? Given that 81% of Evangelicals voted for Trump , it’s safe to conclude that the latter is the case. Unpacking the tangled webbing of fear, greed, superstition, and credulity that binds white Evangelicals to Donald J. Trump, the most profane and libertine President in United States history, will be the project of generations. Religious conservatives didn’t get here overnight, and it’s an odd place for them to have arrived at, but the journey isn’t as mysterious as it might seem at first glance. A good place to start is Believe Me: the Evangelical Road to Donald Trump , by John Fea . Fea’s book is an attempt to answer these questions in a serious way, and from the standpoint of one who shares many of the values and presuppositions of the average parish...
