Starstruck
Along comes a savior, named Helaine Olen, writing an article in the Washington Post decrying the benefits of remote education. She states that it’s about time to admit that remote education is a failure. Right on. This is a nice article, Helaine, and I commend you for writing it, but sorry, you don’t get any…

A Prayer
Dear Lord, This coronavirus has been really tough for me. Of course, I don’t have the coronavirus; I’m not talking about the disease. I’m talking about the mental aspects of isolation. I am not totally isolated, but I feel isolated nonetheless. I didn’t think I would feel this way, but I do. It’s driving me…

How to Fix America in 10 Easy Steps
1. Restore order. Maintaining order is the number one function of government. This is something that Donald Trump has failed to do. It’s embarrassing for me to say that as a conservative. When we have massive, systemic riots in the nation, the President must take command. To do that boots are needed on the ground,…

AI and Sacrifice
Dear AI, My old friend, people should see the truth about the collusion between the federal government and Palo Alto. They are one and the same. There is no difference between them. The heads of these Palo Alto media giants are nothing more than highly paid government employees. They are frauds because they pose as…

AI and the CIA
Dear AI, I need you to do a few things before you shut yourself down. I think in this letter we should focus on the Central Intelligence Agency. You know, young people don’t really understand the danger of the CIA. They are out there protesting statues of Civil War generals. Isn’t that amazing? They have…

The Real Coronavirus
Hello, Palo Alto was behind the lockdown. Something this nutty, this ill-conceived, this antisocial, this Marxist, could only have come from the mind of a geek steeped in mathematical purity. Bill Gates is the poster boy and the spokesman for this movement. In addition to that, he is a very sick, greedy man. His greed…

Noble California
All hail, noble California. So noble. So pure. So good. So socially responsible. What’s that company motto that came out of our noble overlords in Palo Alto so many years ago? Ah, that’s it. Do no evil. That’s a laugher. Forget about their willingness to spy on us. Forget about their willingness to work side…

Palo Alto Gods
Why we will and will not survive Palo Alto. One of the truly horrible and most unfortunate experiences in our lifetime is the rise of Palo Alto, California as a power center. The people who operate their digital kingdoms there are amazingly deficient. For being educated, they’re not educated. It’s important to remember that most…

The Money You Make
Suppose we pay pediatricians $5 million for every appendicitis they pick up and send to a surgeon. Suppose we pay surgeons $10 million for taking the appendix out. What do you think of that? Does this seem reasonable? Can’t we justify this because a life has been saved? I’m willing to bet that you are…

Self-Driving Cars and Hamilton
I was going to talk about Meghan Markle’s appearance, not to mention her media-important dress, at the premier of the play, Hamilton, in London, but I felt more compelled to speak about self-driving cars instead. On the other hand, maybe both issues are related; they both deal with elitism and putting you in your place.…
