Dust in Our Eyes

The game being played in American politics right now is rigged in favor of the wealthy titans: corporations, billionaire donors and high tech leaders. The wealthy titans want only three things: They don’t want to pay taxes. They don’t want any regulation. They want a strong military to protect their interests at home and abroad. Wealthy titans get these three things rapidly and efficiently when democracy is eliminated and replaced by an authoritarian government. One note of caution: A lot of dust is being kicked up in the wake of our declining democracy. Don’t let the dust impair your vision.

Book review: Watt by Samuel Beckett

There are as many literary writing styles as there are writers. If I were a gentleman, I would tip my hat to Mr. Beckett for getting as much critical acclaim as James Joyce, Thomas Pynchon, and David Foster Wallace. But I am no gentleman, thank God, and writers who are deemed to be iconic for the sake of being iconic do not hold sway with me. It’s about time that literary swells are knocked down a tad and put into their rightful place.
