In one of the more spiritual episodes of the seminal television program, THE SIMPSONS, a convivial conversation between HOMER SIMPSON and GOD ends, when GOD must rush off and appear on a tortilla in Mexico. Remarkably, that made perfect spiritual sense to this Blogger; for what is the point of being GOD, if one cannot appear on a tortilla  in Mexico, or destroy Sodom? One of the leitmotifs of this Blog is that the biggest joke in the universe is the joke that one should trust the science of astrophysics over the myth of religion. One of the few joys of living in 2024 is relishing the decline of astrophysics, cosmology, and physics to the level of religion for Yahoos. Every day, new discoveries in astrophysics prove that what scientists thought they knew, have as much credibility as the beliefs of shamans, dwelling on some mountaintop.  In 2024, one does not need to seek GOD on Mexican tortillas. Or in Burning Bushes, or in Pillars of Fire or in Miracles; He is being rev...

  This Blogger has a friend, who is an actor. He played the lead in a Los Angeles production of STEAMBATH. STEAMBATH is one of those plays not produced nearly enough on America’s stages( MARAT/SADE, NO EXIT,SIX CHARACTERS IN SEARCH OF AN AUTHOR and THE BALCONY being others). STEAMBATH is set in an afterlife, in which that afterlife is set in a steam bath;  God is there, as the  Puerto Rican attendant. It is an absurdist play; but, since all of us are living through these absurdist times, it resonates. As the Israeli/HAMAS devolves into absolute absurdity, perhaps God indeed is a Puerto Rican steam bath attendant. The people of Gaza are starving; they need food. Israel, at war with HAMAS, the terrorist overlords of Gaza,  has restricted food supplies; in an effort, this Blogger assumes, to get the emaciated people of Gaza to turn against HAMAS. To alleviate the starvation, a consortium of nations: America, Jordan and Egypt have begun to parachute pallets of food suppl...

  A State of the Union review is required by the Constitution; this Blogger has seen many of them. The first  one being, President Eisenhower, on a black and white Dumont television, with his family. Joe Biden’s 2024 State of the Union was the most divisive, mean spirited, infantile, petty, taunting and obtuse State of the Union in American History.  His speech must have been written by arrogant leftist Manuel Azana; the antebellum President of Spain; who taunted Spanish Rightists into Civil War; which they won. His speech was stark in its Jungian revelations about Joe Biden. What did it reveal? JOE BIDEN is a child of a lesser God; being a Washington D.C. insider, since he was 29 years old, has leeched from him, any iota of magnanimity. He offered not one hint of good fellowship to those Americans who won’t take a knee to his true personality, DARTH SIDIOUS. JOE BIDEN  dropped the curated shroud of empathy and revealed himself  to be a real life DARTH SIDIOUS, the S...
