Poetry, Prose & Philosophy from Life
In the bitter aftermath of a very turbulent and emotionally unhinging presidential election it is easy to become distracted by the spectacle of the Real as it unfolds with both the surrealistic philosophic predilections of Jean Baudrillard and the realistic soothsayings of George Orwell without much distinction. But, nonetheless, I will try to converge my … Continue reading Historical ¿truths? and The (doxa) Second Amendment
It would be in Hegelian fashion to state that the process of asking any question forces upon the world the negation of all answerable potentia that's not permitted within the scope of the original inquisition. Alas, not only does the question dictate the attitude of the response, but it also severely cuts off the … Continue reading The Aesthetic Diremption
In 1951— while in deep introspection to the grotesque horrors of the Holocaust — Theordor Adorno stated that “there can no longer be poetry after Auschwitz” (Adorno 1952) and I cannot state or make any assertions to the efficacy of such a proclamation, but the sentiment in both its time-locked historicity and through presentism should … Continue reading Democracy after Trump

Despite what the socialist media outlets have been saying, Trump has donated greatness -- he even packed the truck and personally pre-played with all the play-doh to confirm absolute … Continue reading Making Floods Great Again
50+ die in a florida nightclub in a possible act of Islamic Terror. An explosion in an airport in China. And a car strikes 5 pedestrians in Las Vegas. The Texas Lt. Gov. quips and retracts ‘reap what you sow’ and Google suggests the news I would prefer is how the presidential candidates react. The … Continue reading Any Given Sunday…
You can say it is like we are all on a train and we are headed toward a total train wreck because both the train and tracks are old and faulty. Clinton wants to lay fresh new tracks as Obama has been doing and let the broken train keep on, keepin' on and thinks … Continue reading The Cra Cra Train
A few months back I came up with the idea to create a Donald Trump parody website that frames Donald Trump as a matter-of-fact fascist who is trying to usher back-in an era of World War 2 style fascist totalitarianism. And, here ya go: www.MakeAmericaFascistAgain.com. I want to give a special thank you to Sanjay Perera, … Continue reading Make America Fascist Again
Marxists expressed that sometimes members of the ruling class — or the bourgeoise in his words — will speak the rhetoric of the socialist leadership, show empathy for the plight of the proletariat and will even say that they are compelled to join the rank-and-file of a socialist uprising; but, historically speaking, when the shit … Continue reading To the Hillary Supporters
