edohiguma and I go at philosophy hammer-and-tongs.  It’s inevitable because we’re both honest and we both like things clear and precise.  So we clash ideas together despite the extreme unlikelihood of either altering the other’s position. We’re also allies, because … Continue reading →

The general reason remains the same:  hopelessness and rage.  America isn’t decaying toward death, it is decaying due to death.  My country is dead and its burial continues, under mountains of lies and hatred.  Why blog about it when I’m … Continue reading →

Trying to get some money’s worth out of a new online Netflix subscription.  Mostly watching South Park, but O.D.ed on it briefly.  So it’s been Mad Men and 30 Rock over the weekend. My big problem with Mad Men is … Continue reading →

No posting because I’ve been watching–free!–Doctor Who episodes. Since most posts here are on social and political issues, and today is an apathy day, no posts so far. As far as the show, in two years it’ll be fifty years … Continue reading →

(MILD SPOILER ALERT) Finished Deadwood. Was sorely disappointed. The wrapup could be the worst betrayal of Chekov’s Gun I’ve ever seen. The quality of the work remained high, the characters compelling. But Deadwood spent entire episodes establishing factions and foreshadowing … Continue reading →

Almost done watching Dark Angel. It gets 4 1/2 stars on Amazon and a 7.5 out of 10 at imdb. That’s a bit higher than I’d go. The main attraction, of course, is Jessica’s unworldly beauty. As a James Cameron … Continue reading →

Not sure when I’ll finish watching the last season of Xena. The series has some amazing qualities, but apparently I lost interest right after Xena kicked Satan’s ass. Oh, uh…(BELATED SPOILER ALERT!) So, The Lost World. On Amazon, Season One … Continue reading →
