What kind of half-witted, elementary school dropout does Taco Bell have heading up their marketing department?! I’m frigging annoyed by their campaign for the new cool ranch Doritos Locos Taco. First of all, I’d like to point out that Locos Tacos is a very poor rhyme, but I digress…...

Banned Books Awareness: Freedom to Read Week 2013
Americans tend to arrogantly think that censorship is something that only happened in Stalinist Russia or, currently, the Middle East; America, of course, is proclaimed to be the land of the free. That stuff doesn’t happen here. Many other countries think that censorship only happens within the borders of...
Ditch the flowers this Valentine’s Day and plant a tree
On February 14 in many countries around the world candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones in the name of St. Valentine. Couples will dine and many a flower shop will be visited today while some people- as a good friend once put it- will sit back...
Banned Books Awareness: Censorship is really about an escape from the truth
Literature marks the times. Whether an epic historical fiction or a dime store yarn, a novel reflects the time in which it is published as much as it does the period it is set in. The intricacy and subject matter of the literature we enjoy also evolves with us...

Why Google is just another evil empire that can kiss my ass
I posted a message a few days ago that there was an issue brewing between Google and myself; somewhere between the daily grind and trying to figure out the full scope of the situation it’s taken me until now to actually sit down and explain to you all what’s...
Google, Inc. can kiss my ass!
Well, folks, it has been brought to my personal attention that Google, Inc. has, as a company, a philosophy that is misogynist and offended by any talk of women’s reproductive issues. Their conservative philosophy is such that they have resorted to an authoritarian level of censorship on any websites...
No ground to stand on
I couldn’t sleep well last night, so I was laying in bed with a thousand different things running through my head. As a result of that, here’s a little Monday morning thought for those who hide behind a twisted interpretation of their manuals of religious dogma and wave them...
‘Tomorrow’ or ‘2morrow’?- only an idiot can’t tell the difference
I’m getting really annoyed with the idiots who constantly write ‘2morrow’ instead of ‘tomorrow’- or any of the various bad grammar forms that plague the internet in blog posts, message boards, and other digital media- like it’s perfectly normal and acceptable English. It’s not; and you’re a moron for thinking it...
