Go see Religulous by Bill Maher if you haven’t. Go. I’ll wait here until after you’ve seen it. Seen it? Good. Let’s get down to brass tacks. Today’s topic up for dissection is religion. I know it’s a touchy subject, which is exactly why I’m tackling it today. You see, I was raised Evangelical, so I… Continue Reading

Nothing to Fear Except Fear Itself
Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! Even though it’s no longer Mother’s Day where you are! Here is a the song, Mama, by Tupac Shakur and Boyz II Men, mixed by DJ Wise. OK. What is my topic for today? How about fear? I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t ruled by fear. When I… Continue Reading
Internet Intimidation
I have started a couple of blog posts and stopped. Why? Partly because I wasn’t feeling it, but partly because of inhibition. You see, I have gotten a couple of trolls who have commented solely to tell me off. I’m a hater, a baby-killer, and a bitter liberal. I will cop to the first, but… Continue Reading
Great Expectations
All parents want the best for their children. This is a common meme, so it must be true, right? I happen to think it’s not true, but I will say that most parents want what they think is best for their children. I am using that as the basis for the rest of this blog… Continue Reading
Rest in Peace?
Addendum from yesterday’s entry: I said I would choose diversity every time. I gave many reasons why, but I neglected to mention the most obvious reason–diversity itself has value. Sticking with the Supreme Court, they recently reviewed a case in which a thirteen year old girl was strip-searched in school. Why? The school had a… Continue Reading
Keepin’ the (White) Man Down
I knew that President Obama taking the office would unleash all sorts of racism, covert and overt. We’ve seen this happen with the teabaggers who held up signs that denigrated our president’s ethnicity. That would be an overt sign of the lingering racism. We’ve seen it with the “President Obama is not very smart” meme… Continue Reading
Dive Into Moderation
I have always been an extreme person. By that I mean that I can’t abide tepid. When I drink a hot beverage, it has to be boiling hot. If I don’t burn my tongue while drinking it, then it’s not hot enough. Conversely, if I don’t get a brain freeze from drinking a cold beverage,… Continue Reading
Whitewash, Soft-scrub, Launder, and Repeat
Yeah, I kinda stole one of Rachel’s segment titles and put my own spin on it. What are you going to do about it? First, a bit of the personal. My dad is coming for a visit tomorrow, which means one thing–cleaning. I fucking hate cleaning. I loathe it with every fiber of my being,… Continue Reading
It Smells Like Wingnut in the Morning
All right. As you know, I have followed the Mudflats since McCain chose Palin (or had her chosen for him, you make the call) as his VP pick. I didn’t know much about her other than she had gone on Craig Ferguson’s show to grant him honorary citizenship of Alaska. I thought it was a smart idea… Continue Reading
Welcome Back!
Well. That’s another Scriptfrenzy.org month in the books. It was an interesting ride, and it’s not over for me. I ground out 153 pages total (145 on my screenplay, and eight on my musical), and I only hit two and a half penises. Don’t ask. So, it will be a trilogy when I get… Continue Reading
