Writer of novels, screenplays and bite-sized book reviews. Don’t blame me for the impending catastrophe, I voted for Kamala.

It works if you’re making a game where you slice fruit on your phone, but it’s wholly unsuited for running a superpower.

Republicans in Congress, who spent the last few years investigating Hunter Biden’s eating habits, won’t lift a finger to look into this shocking breach of trust.

The war in Ukraine is very much like a home invasion—all that’s required for it to end is for the criminals to go home.

Blaming Zelensky for starting the war is like blaming the Twin Towers for 9/11.

I’m old enough to remember Republicans calling Obama a dictator because he tried to make health insurance more affordable. Can’t imagine what they’d have done if he said he might run for a 3rd term.

Tariffs are revenue the government brings in from Americans. Which by definition makes them taxes.

Bite-Sized Book Reviews: "A Garden of Earthly Delights" by @joycecaroloates.bsky.social begins with a literal bang, as a truckload of migrant workers crashes into a hog truck. A fascinating study of three generations of the Walpole family, all burdened by their own defects and flaws. Two thumbs up.

Bite-Sized Book Reviews: "The Talented Mr. Ripley" by Patricia Highsmith has an amazing premise—Tom Ripley is so dissatisfied with his own life that he decides to steal someone else’s. Your head will spin as Tom is forced to spin an ever wider web of lies to cover his murderous trail. Two thumbs up.

The 14th Amendment was written at a time when MASSIVE numbers of immigrants were pouring into the United States. If Congress didn’t want the citizenship clause to apply to their children, the text would have made that clear.

Bite-Sized Book Reviews: "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius. A self-help book written for an audience of one—the Emperor of Rome. The kicker? It was written by the Emperor himself. His Stoic wisdom in a nutshell: Put your focus on the present, be a good person and accept your fate. Two thumbs up!

The economy you inherited was “remarkable” according to the Wall Street Journal and “the envy of the world” according to the Economist. So, cut the gaslighting, jerkoff.

Bite-Sized Book Reviews: "Gorgias" by Plato captures a debate between Socrates and 3 orators on the nature of good & evil, and the dangers of oratory disconnected from honesty & good intention. Surprisingly relevant. Two thumbs up.

How on earth does a country of 330 million people choose this grimy old huckster, this shell of a human being, this pathological liar, to be our president? It’s literally insane. He’s the worst person in America.

Bite-Sized Book Reviews: "Atonement" by Ian McEwan. A bright young girl, who dreams of being a writer, sees a moment of intimacy between her sister and the charlady's son. She lets her imagination run wild and ends up ruining the lives of two people. Beautifully written. Two thumbs up.

Bite-Sized Book Reviews: "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. After surviving a German POW camp (not many Russians did) Ivan is thrown into a Siberian gulag for the crime of being captured. Informed by the writer's own suffering as a prisoner. Two thumbs up.
