A Collapsing Universe of Great Things

By David Glenn Cox Some days it feels like living in a collapsing universe or a slow-motion train wreck. Vice President J.D. Dense, the world’s largest petulant child, gave an interview to Forbes. In it, he gushed pridefully and assured the world that Iran’s enriched uranium was now buried under tons of earth. Thanks to America’s bunker busting bombs. Come on! If I know that Iran emptied out…

“The Bully of the Middle East!”

By David Glenn Cox He did! He didn’t! He might! He wanted too! The Administration has this all planned out…not! Donald Trump appears in a hallway, not in the oval office. To announce, it’s not war! Mr. Dithers stands in front of Vice President J.D Dense, Secretary of State, Marko Polio and Secretary of Defense, 86 proof Pete Hegseth to make the announcement that the United States is not going to…

PAX AMERICANA

By David Glenn Cox The purpose of modern media as defined by George Orwell is not to inform, but to chloroform. To twist and bend events and shape them into an unseen and unspoken narrative. Republicans in Congress have held a series of hearings on Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities. Why? What will it change now? He’s gone! It’s about bullying and denigrating the opposition. Why didn’t we…

American Deceptionalism

By David Glenn Cox There was once a question asked of all American Presidential candidates. “What would they do when that 2AM crisis arrived?” Now we know. The Taco in Chief becomes Mr. Dithers.  Like a big flag on a big flag pole. He blows whichever way the wind blows. One day, Mr. Dithers has his thumbs under his suspenders bragging about what he’s going to do with Israel’s help. The next day,…

Physician Heal Thyself!

By David Glenn Cox It is easy to get depressed at the fate of the world reading about it at the crack of dawn. “I read the news today, oh boy. About a lucky man who went insane.”  The Republicans hold an endless series of Congressional hearings on Joe Biden’s mental competence. Chaired ironically, by the aged Chuck Grassley. Who once knew Thomas Edison when he was still a young boy. But these…

Taco Tuesday

By David Glenn Cox Last time, if you remember in our thrilling adventures of fearful Fascism today. Tom Holman, Chief Thug and bottle washer for the Reich’s Security Service said, “If you’re in this country illegally you should self-deport immediately. Because we will find you and arrest you!” Ice agents swarmed over a meat packing house in Omaha and raided farm fields in California. The Great…

Dazed  and Confused

By David Glenn Cox There is an old Groucho Marx line that goes, “Baravelli may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot. But don’t let that fool you. He really is an idiot!” It is easy to forget sometimes that without the editing room floor media protection. We could always remember and could never forget that Baravelli is an idiot. But let that rabbit out his hutch and he can be hard to catch…

“The Greatest Enemy of the State”

By David Glenn Cox The reviews and Nielson’s are in on the Great Dictator’s military parade. And in the military parlance, it was a dud. The reasons seem varied across many spectrums. Firstly, there had been a lot of press about possible protests and fencing going up discouraging the possible audience from attending. Secondly, the US Army with their chocolate chip camo uniforms look smart and…

They Call it Television Because Tell a Lie is Too Obvious

By David Glenn Cox In 1934, in front of a large crowd. The German Fuhrer introduced a new “Blood Oath” of allegiance. No longer would German soldiers or civil servants take an oath to defend Germany. But they would now take an oath to follow Adolf Hitler, even to the grave. It was a small change while at the same time monumental. No one in the German media said anything negative about it,…

Get Out and Walk

By David Glenn Cox Mark Twain once said, “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born, and the day you find out why.” For me, this is why. This blog isn’t a hobby, it’s my reason for being. I work on it 24 hrs. a day and seven days a week. And it started long ago, before I even knew what a blog was. I made my way through school by writing, but never considered it as a…

What Did You Do in the Revolution Daddy?

By David Glenn Cox Not a King, for King’s have concerns for their realms, like a family business. It is incumbent on a King to improve his realm. Great Dictators, however, believe they can do whatever they wish, simply because they wish it so. And the opinion of the peons doesn’t mean squat to them. Understand? The January 6th  Coup d’état has never ended. Fascist history is being made and…

Alone Again, Naturally

By David Glenn Cox “Hello, is there anybody out there? Just nod if you can hear me, is there anyone at home?” What am I doing wrong? Is it my breath? A year or so ago, This Carbon-Based Life enjoyed a wide readership then suddenly, the readership fell radically. Almost like someone had flipped a switch. But amid this decline one tid bit stands out. Readership overseas in Europe and Australia,…

“A Heck of a Job There, Brownie!”

By David Glenn Cox The pages of history are resplendent with Kings, Dictators and potentates. Who believed they had a higher understanding of situations. Only to discover too late, they really had no understanding at all. The Israelis politely patted Greta Thunberg on her head put her on a plane and immediately shipped her home. The Great Dictator takes joy in arresting Mayors (Charges dropped)…

That Way Lies Melancholy!

By David Glenn Cox “This is not the beginning of the end, but it is perhaps the end of the beginning.” – Winston S. Churchill I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. I take no pleasure in being correct. It isn’t a sign of intelligence or insight, only experience and common sense. You can only push so hard until people begin to push back. It is a twisted tale of madness and ego,…

The Final Solution for the Useless and Necessitous

By David Glenn Cox Hats off to Joni Ernst. Honesty is such a rare commodity inside the Republican Party these days. Her candor should be appreciated and applauded for what it is, murderous. Ernst was responding to voters at a town hall concerned their relatives would die, if proposed cuts to Medicaid took place. The audience shouted, “People will die!” And Ernst replied, “We all die!” Gosh, I…

Not News!

By David Glenn Cox Almost 40% of Americans now watch television through streaming. For many, they have ditched cable due to the high cost. Only 26% of Americans have a movie streaming subscription. That means the biggest loser in viewership is broadcast television. You must have a digital antenna, or you do without. Most do without. Yesterday was the Indianapolis 500. For many years, watching…

Mr. Rogers Neighborhood (for adults)

By David Glenn Cox In his immortal novel “The Time Machine” (A book) H.G. Wells predicted a dark future for mankind. Two societies, the Eloi living above ground as emotional children. Having given up intellectual pursuits and abandoning all questions of why. Their libraries reduced to dried crumbling pulp and fragments. Humans who no longer cared about anything beyond food or sex. Humans who…
