Politicians provide us with all of the comedy gold. We're only mere curators.

If You Didn’t Vote Then Shut Your Mouth
This was first published when America was ruled by a giant orange baby. True story. Did you vote? You did. Do you vote? You do. Good. That’s what I thought.

Moscow's Calling - 5
This conversation happened on January 18, 2022. “Hello, Donnie?” “Hello, Vlad,” (sounding dry and unexcited), “What can I do for you?”

Talk Radio 1905
I started the company van the other day and was immediately greeted by a bombastic baritone voice booming from the radio. I’m not sure who the speaker was because, to me, they all sound alike. It doesn’t matter if it’s politics or sports, I never listen to talk radio. I want to hear music when I turn on the box, not someone proselytizing.

I love Ford trucks because they bring me closer to my dead grandpa
I'm a real, honest American. I believe in the fundamentals: tradition, adherence to tradition, and taking offense to those who try to improve on tradition. If it was good enough for our forefathers, it's good enough for us. I'm not some statue-toppling leftist who gets their rocks off by erasing the lessons of the past.

I’m A Black Man
I am a black man. Therefore give me money, privilege, and status because, you know, I am a victim. All white people MUST clap on this article, comment, and highlight points you agree with; otherwise, I will think you are a racist.

The White Male Narrative
Little girls are made of sugar and spice, but boys are made of something else entirely; Especially white boys. With so many magical stories around us; tales of bravery, rich fantastical universes intertwined with deep wounds and intricate circumstances, the most compelling tale is the one right under our noses: The Narrative Of The White Male.

Post-Thinkers and the World of Tomorrow
Imagine, it's the year 2045, a mild 104 degree summer morning in Eugene, Oregon, and before you even wake-up, you already have over one-hundred thousand likes for a tweet you didn't write on a story you haven't even read yet.

Diner Oranges To Unionize
This week, after a 19-year battle in California, Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom signed legislation granting collective-bargaining rights to more than 40,000 oranges. The slices of oranges on the sides of your steaming plates of eggs are launching a new campaign to unionize. They are not just lukewarm sponges used to soak up the layer of sizzling potato grease and frigid watery chunks of parsley, they are members of society that demand rights. These are mothers, fathers, spouses, and children, just like you and me. They state that the battle began in order to combat the misuse and misallocation of their talent, energy, and flavor.
