“We are in the process of creating what deserves to be called the idiot culture. Not an idiot sub-culture, which every society has bubbling beneath the surface and which can provide harmless fun; but the culture itself. For the first time, the weird and the stupid and the coarse are becoming our cultural norm, even our cultural ideal.”  - Carl Bernstein

Continuing on my bitter bunny ranting begun in “All Men Are Bastards” – I thought today I would go for the secondary subtitle of “All Men Are Stupid”.  While all the ladies nod their heads sagely, and the gents take a moment of quiet indignation, let me explain myself… Read More

“He is not affected by the reality of distress touching his heart, but by the showy resemblance of it striking his imagination. He pities the plumage, but forgets the dying bird.” –Thomas Paine

I’m sure some of you have already guessed I have (yet another) cynical view point on the existence and validity of male emotions. Read More

“Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it.” – Thomas Fuller

I have already put my stake in the ground stating that as relationships proceed ladies’ underwear get larger and oral sex is offered less frequently. I even have graphs – so it’s science fact.

ELIZABETH ROSE

“In the old days, one married a wife; now one forms a company with a female partner, or moves in to live with a friend. And then one seduces the partner, or defiles the friend.” – J. August Strindberg

“No”, replied the Knight, “I am here with the Lady Elizabeth, for she is my Read More
