How Does It Feel?

Donald Trump’s Victory and The Ending of The Planet of the Apes
Well, I’m searching for something that reflects accurately the emotion evoked in me by this election result. When the past year was ongoing, it was the ending of Hitchcock’s The Birds that seemed the apt metaphor for what I was … Continue reading

On Donald Trump, Jon Stewart Spoke and Louis C.K. Did Not
The majority of voters may literally–literally–be on the cusp of voting a fascist into the White House. A fascist. I don’t use that term loosely. I mean a real fascist. Yet here’s what I read at USA Today this morning: … Continue reading
