Space for Rent: I Am Not Straight, I Am Heterosexual
Tweet of the Day: A Handmaid’s Tale Is a Warning to Conservative Women “I am a Christian.” Are not Lutherans, Roman Catholics, Mormons, Mennonites, Anglicans, Eastern Orthodox, and Quakers not Christians? Or are they not the “right” kind of Christian? Which means that those other denominations are “wrong” somehow. It is true that any […]
Space for Rent: Separating the Artist from their Art
Sometimes you can not separate one from the other so what are you suppose to do about it? I discuss my take on the situation below:
Space for Rent: The Past is Prologue
These words were not uttered by Steven Bannon, but the fact that the American media and public cowered in fear while they were uttered led to our current situation. We were warned that trading liberty for security was a dangerous precedent. We were told that the machine of State engorged itself on the life’s […]
TV Tropes Monday: A Nazi by Any Other Name
Tweet of the Day: Hype and its Consequences Yeah, you saw this one coming a mile away, oh gentle reader. Or maybe you didn’t which makes the horror you feel right now that much more tangible. Alas, we shall proceed with the Troping none the less by presenting A Nazi by Any Other Name. You […]
Trump vs. Clinton: Different Kind of Awful
Just because Trump is a walking piece of human excrement doesn’t mean that Clinton is perfect, far from it. If the Republicans had fielded a competent candidate, Clinton would be down 20 points across the board. And it goes well beyond things like, “You hate her because she is a woman,” and “If you don’t like her […]
Space for Rent: The Privileged Mocking of “Safe Spaces”
I find it painfully hilarious, as in I don’t want to laugh at due to seriousness of the subject, that those that decry “safe spaces” are the very people that don’t need them, or at least believe they don’t crave them. But are not our homes, schools, and job places supposed to be “safe […]
Space for Rent: The Antebellum Presidency
Let’s be honest, Barack Obama will not be remembered as a great president of the United States. While some tout his accomplishments, outside of the expansion of health care he did little else but to moderate yet continue the policies of his predecessors. At a time when the nation, and indeed the world […]
Space for Rent: Hillary Clinton & The Politics of Sexual Distraction
——- In today’s cesspool of American politics (and yes politics is always a cesspool) you have two parties: A reactionary, racist, hateful, pack of hyenas, A collection of imbecilic baboons that speak in simplistic tones about things the know nothing about, A bunch of dreamers that dream of vacant pasts that never were […]
Space for Rent: A Year of Fear, A Victory for Terror
2015 was a year of fear: foreign wars, economic woes, rampant police, riots, and terrorism. And the politicians have taken full advantage of this. Sadly, with this new year being an election year in the United States, and with the candidates offered by both parties (with one glaring exception), Fear will rule the roost. […]
