If Daesh is so adept at Social Media
Here’s one thing I haven’t understood for a while: if ISIS/ISIL/Daesh-or-whatever the fuck we’re calling them today is so adept at social media, why can’t we use that against them in our supposed war on them. I mean, Daesh is … Continue reading
In the honor of a slain Officer
Sometimes police officers are heroes. Sometimes they’re assholes (see Black Lives Matter, if you don’t know what I’m talking about). Sometimes they’re both. Sometimes they’re something in between. Yesterday I came across the story of a hero. Officer Garrett Swasey, … Continue reading
Can one die of a broken heart?
Can you die of a broken heart? Maybe. Maybe so. There was a story recently that Doug Flute – he of the “Hail Mary Miracle in Miami” win over the Hurricanes back in 1984 – lost both his parents within … Continue reading
Black Friday Sucks
In case you don’t know it, it’s stores like Walmart that took the Christ out of Christmas. Not the progressive who are trying to be inclusive of Jews, Muslims and others by using the hated “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry … Continue reading
About American Thanksgiving

Patrick Henry College is a Juggernaut
Most of you have probably never heard of Patrick Henry College, but Patrick Henry College is a juggernaut. In the narrow world of collegiate moot court. In that world, Patrick Henry College is like the UConn Huskies of Women’s basketball. … Continue reading
Last Week’s Republican and Democratic Debates
Despite all the craziness resulting from the Paris attacks, there were actually two Presidential debates last week. One was on Tuesday night for the Republicans, and one on Saturday night for the Democrats. I confess that I didn’t watch the … Continue reading
Is the Sunni-Shiite split like the Catholic-Protestant split?
I know that we in the west don’t really know much about Islam, and for that reason I did read Reza Aslan’s “No God but God” a few years back. I’ve been interested by the Sunni-Shiite split, and whether it … Continue reading
Is ISIS like the KKK?
One of the points that I’ve seen made on social media – I believe basketball great Kareem Abdul Jabbar has been making this point repeatedly – is that ISIS (or Daesh, as we’re now supposed to call it) has the … Continue reading
