…it’s how you play the game. I heard that a lot when growing up. Play the game right, and good things will happen. I assume that’s still taught to children. It ought to be taught to adults. Instead, winning is all that matters. Give a professional coach bad players, and he still better win or … Continue reading

Happy Earth Day
Several days ago I completed a report on a property located within an NPL site in southern California. The NPL site is contaminated primarily with trichloroethylene and perchloroethylene, as well as many other contaminants, in a plume covering around 30 square miles. Thirty miles. As many as 11 cities are impacted. Next to the property … Continue reading
If a Biologist Ran the Country
It almost sounded promising. During his first press conference, Sean Spicer gushed about Trump meeting with the giants of industry to get their input on creating more jobs. I could easily imagine his supporters applauding – this was a big part of what they’d signed up for. What could possibly be wrong with exploring constructive … Continue reading
In Honor of the Inauguration of our New Glorious Leader…
…another political rant. Let’s all sing kum bay ah and come together behind our new unifying leader. Such is the reported theme of his upcoming speech. You might as well ask me to get down on my knees and worship a bucket of goo. This protest isn’t about politics. It isn’t about republican vs. democrat … Continue reading

Trump’s Wall
Typically, I’m a man of few words until presented with pen and paper. I’m better at writing than I am at speaking. It’s a bit of a mystery, much like the mysterious origin of language itself. Evolutionists have no clue to its derivation. Our sophisticated language distinguishes us from other life forms, allowing for some … Continue reading
Angered White Man
I have to vent before I lose my mind. Now I’m the angry white man. Don’t ask me to unite behind this newly-elected cretin because a bunch of unevolved knuckle-draggers voted in a Neanderthal to lead them, or because the evangelicals hypocritically supported their version of the antichrist. I want nothing to do with it. … Continue reading
A Note From the Planet
Hello, it’s me…your planet. I usually stay out of your politics, but things have gotten so out of hand I feel the need to communicate with you directly. My usual methods of talking to you symbolically through exploding symptoms (in the same way your body signals you with health symptoms), don’t seem to be getting … Continue reading
Hairballs Unite
I think the regurgitated hairball is right. The election is rigged. For some reason the media favors intelligent, qualified women over oafish gropers. Continue reading
Laughing Bird Mountain
I’m hiking up the McDowell Mountains this morning as the sun wakes up, trying to clear my head after mistakenly watching the ugliness of the morning news. Nothing but hate, controversy, possible corruptness, childishness, you name it. Being a couple of miles east of Scottsdale, AZ, the mountains repose in peaceful tranquility except for a … Continue reading
