Hot, Wet and Slick part one.

If you have ever bought a used car or a life insurance policy then odds are good that you have encountered some version of the bait and switch. For those in my audience that are not so well informed, rest assured, I intend to pride a suitable example in just a moment. Oil. It’s a damn small word to... Sign in to see full entry.

Would you dissent or collaborate?

The fatal blow never comes from without. Empires often survive war, cataclysm and disease but they never survive internal dissention. This then is the ultimate cancer on the body politic. Neither Stalinist Russia nor Reaganite America has managed to defeat this enemy; it is undefeatable by any... Sign in to see full entry.

Hunter S. Thompson: A Tribute to a bastard! and the original blogger!

He would want no false tributes and as insane and reckless as he was Hunter Thompson certainly does not deserve our pity. He was a man of infinite talent if limited common sense who faced the demon of his age in President Richard Nixon. The tarnishing of the collective American Psyche, and the...

Essential reading to preserve sanity

Never Kill a person you don't know. Killing a stranger is just cowardly, you can't hate someone you don't know. Never fondle what you can't finish, it's a waste and it leaves both of you frustrated. more in 30 minutes Raven Darke Copyright 2005 Raven Darke Productions Sign in to see full entry.

Distribution list whores and junkies

A very short dispatch from the front. I got to thinking about distribution lists the other day, and the way we all clicl on them to see who has read us. Do you need to be read? Why? Is having your work read the literary equivielent of masterbating in public? Are we all in need of validation that... Sign in to see full entry.

Are you worthy in my eyes?

Are you worthy in my eyes? Tantalizing isn’t it, the process that makes a sane person have to see whether they measured up to someone else’s estimation. Are we so devoid of an understanding of ourselves that we have to curry favors and clicks? Good doggy, nice and familiar friend, the stuff of... Sign in to see full entry.

In the shadows of torchlight

The silence of tyranny is the fear of free men. The easiest and simplest way to subjugate anyone is too take away their hope. Nothing more has to be done because while we may die the death of the body without food or water, we will surely die the death of the spirit when we are deprived of hope. Do...

Jellybean Reflections

No more mornings in America. While President Bush tries valiantly to cloak himself in the mantle of now deceased former President Reagan he misses the mark. Reagan was a construction as much as a reality. The polite fiction that his Alzheimer’s disease did not manifest itself until he left the oval... Sign in to see full entry.

Do you have Bloggers Neurosis?

Bloggers Neurosis, or the barely known, seldom acted on notion that what you think actually matters to anyone else. Is there a cure for Bloggers Neurosis, the symptoms including incessant checking of your posts to see if any has bothered to comment? A nervous almost compulsive defense of the...

Tender fears in terror

Can you contemplate your navel? The soft, delicate place that makes you human and cares for you. Delicious moments of comprehension laced with internal pain. We are all people of distinction, we should all matter but do we? Gender and the politics of poverty. A simple passion play that extols the... Sign in to see full entry.
