Leavitt: "The Democrat Party's main constituency is made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals"

I'm a proud member of the left. Here’s me contemplating the violence and terrorism to commit for the day while doing my yoga, a spiritual practice dedicated to peace and understanding. Here’s the food my wife and I eat, before we commit violent crimes

Food Not Bombs

I originally posted this on heyheyrenee April 15, 2018 I was aching for the Syrians before. Now, I’m feeling their pain. I read a piece in 2012. It made total sense to me. The cliff note is that the crisis in Syria roots to climate change. 5 years

Jane Goodall is the Mother Nature of my time

I'm still saddened by Jane's passing. She was such a wonderful woman. As I watching "Jane" tonight I came to the conclusion that she is the Mother Nature of my time. Perhaps of all time. Jane is on Hulu. It's free with

notes from the field - Aspen Watch Week

Howdy, Went to Watch Week Aspen yesterday. Aspen hasn’t been cool for years. But still. I thought I’d talk to more at the gig who appreciated the fine art of watch making. Mostly, the crowd seemed dull and colorless. Their attraction seemed to be status. I

Good Sign

I spotted this the other day at the post office in town. This didn't come with the car. Someone got an inspiration, thought about, then invested time and money to put this on the hood of their car. Bravo and Hooray to them! I've written about

Bono launders what he knows nothing about

Bono made this speech at the Ivor Novello Awards in May. Here's the text: "I used to introduce this next song by explaining it wasn't a rebel song. "It was because believing in the possibilities of peace was then and is now a rebellious

A while back I was critical of the campus protestors for not showing concern for all the other atrocities that are happening in the world. It wasn't that I was against their protests, I just thought they were Johnny-come-lately's. Since then I've

Norman Finkelstein on free speech and antisemitism

Norman Finkelstein has devoted 40+ years of his life studying the Israeli Palestinian conflict. He doesn't refer to the conflict as a war, he calls it an extermination. In that, the Israeli government has been systematically exterminating the Palestinian population in Gaza. Finkelstein lists pages of references as
