Getting the News in the Modern Era

By Dennis E. Powell | Jun 18, 2025 at 3:40 PM

There’s been a lot of news lately, as you might have noticed. You might, too, have noticed that getting actual, accurate news coverage seems all but impossible.

The Democrats Who Cried Wolf

By Jason Kettinger | Jun 18, 2025 at 9:50 AM

I’ll just illustrate something I’m on about, and maybe someone will get it. Bearing in mind that my opposition to Trump and all his insanity is loud, consistent, and well-known. I saw a commercial in the summer of 2024 by Trump — and I hoped I was wrong — but that’s when I knew the presidential election was over. The commercial said, “Kamala Harris cares about ‘they/them’; Donald Trump cares about you.” That’s when it ended.

Tsunami of Tsupid

One of the things I find most appealing about the Japanese anime art form is that you often hear characters encourage others by saying “Do your best!” Or characters who have been worried recover their courage and with renewed resolve lift a fist into the air and declare, “I’ll do my best!” Some of us remember when you didn’t need to watch a cartoon from overseas to find that sentiment expressed. In fact, it wasn’t all that long ago when it was expected of each of us, all the time. No longer.

A World of Definitional Gerrymandering

By Timothy R. Butler | Jun 11, 2025 at 12:20 PM

We need to define terms. Our culture is always ready to debate and toss accusations, but we fail to stop and see if we even mean the same things by the words we hurl. No wonder we never settled anything.

Standing, Sitting, and Waiting for the Cardinals

By Zippy the Wonder Snail | May 09, 2025 at 10:30 AM

The Boys are back — one standing, one sitting — both trying to make sense of Cardinals chaos, Blues heartbreak and the first hundred days of Trump 2.0. Plus: speculation on the next album from Taylor Swift and a meditation on the mystery of Jesus’ two natures.

It Begins

This is likely a week we will remember as the beginning of something truly awful. The only question, really, is how awful.

The President Points to Jesus, So Why Am I Conflicted?

By Timothy R. Butler | Apr 17, 2025 at 12:38 AM

Is it acceptable to admit I’m conflicted? In our polarized society, it may not be, but I am. I’m talking about the president’s Easter Declaration and feel utterly conflicted about it.

The Revolving White House Asylum

By E. Ryan Haffner | Apr 09, 2025 at 8:25 PM

Sanity. That is all most Americans want. Neither political party is willing to humor us and that makes them equal owners of our ongoing plunge.

Under Water

By Dennis E. Powell | Apr 08, 2025 at 5:51 PM

If you live anywhere there is weather, you should probably have a weather radio. This is a bespoke device that renders the weather forecast, if that interests you, at the push of a button. But its real purpose is to make alarming noise when bad weather approaches, so that you might spend your final minutes lamenting that you have no basement.
