This week, 13 activists stood across the southbound lanes of Interstate 95 in Downtown Richmond for a half-hour. They had a banner hung on the fence of the Chamberlayne Avenue overpass that said, “Black Lives Matter”. Tonight, as a baker’s dozen protesters stopped traffic on I-95 just under the ChamberlayneContinue Reading
You are so awful. Winning?! Don’t you care about people? Don’t you realize that the losers are going to feel awful? They are going to feel terrible. There is only one happy person in this here kickball game, the one that is a winner. Everybody else is sad. Do youContinue Reading
A win for one means a loss for many more. Winners are, on their face, an instance of disparity. For every one winner there are the great masses who didn’t win. So, the train of thought goes, the problem is the winner, who by victory has created angst for everyoneContinue Reading
I fear we are witnessing the end of an age. 5 police officers gunned down by a veteran who managed to acquire an assault weapon. Please let’s not rehash the “less guns=more safety” conversation. The bodies in the streets are a bellwether of a generation long end to the American Experiment. It’s going to get worse, much worse.Continue Reading

For some, the prior sentence will evoke bad memories of gunshots. 49 people died in a nightclub last weekend. Keep in mind that us old geeks pronounce exclamation points as,Continue Reading
Law fails us. It is what will doom the Muslims who are trying to force God’s hand and bring about the Apocalypse with a hope of bringing on the following paradise. The great revolution and wisdom of Christ is that the resurrected kingdom had to build its temple in theContinue Reading
My usual mode in this space is to find the ugly, the crazy, the leftie-pinko nutcase idea and argue against it. Cops need a punch in the face. We should burn D.C. and impale all 600 or so members of Congress, the White House and the Supreme Court as aContinue Reading
A musician friend of mine who is a member of Richmond’s permanently aggrieved protest community is sure that if s/he can initiate a sit-in at a police station the cops will quit being asshats. They will stop beating people up, quit arresting him for possession of controlled substances, and generally learnContinue Reading
