..to review the contribution of blind, cross-dressing Native Americans.. Democracy, in the age of identity grievance activism, can do very strange things to the study of history. Even those meek, monkish fellows in the medieval studies department can’t discuss Gotlandic picture stones without fending off white supremacy claims. It’s a bit like producing a play..
The Content of Our Character? I find this startling: polite company, these days, apparently allows you to make sweeping, racist commentary about white men over fifty. A few years ago, I thought this was just the shrew-cackle of some far left feminists with daddy issues, engaging in the sort of edgy racism that would go..
A Short Story My theory is we all want to be one of the chosen people, so don’t get all judgmental about this. I’m guessing you’re the same: You got pledged by the Dekes instead of that vaguely criminal but very cool fraternity, the guys who brought hip flasks and peyote to midterms, the ones..
Seeing Through The Clutter So, in this no-man’s land between Christmas and our official re-awakening of commerce—about one week after New Year’s—I’ve been swimming through a rich sea of YouTube documentaries.

Okay, well, that’s not going to happen, but.. The good news is that it all gets better, kids. With time. With Age. The women I know, in my generation–those who are happily married and even just those who have come to terms with the wonder of working and living on this beautiful orb–don’t measure existence..
Al Franken, Lust, and Public Scrutiny I was a guest at a “great man’s” home in Newport Beach years ago. The man, (we will call him “Charlie”), had just returned from a wedding, and he was amused by an awkward toast given by a friend. “So there he is,” Charlie observed, laughing at his memory,..
Mobile, AL – ICBTS News In the ongoing Roy Moore story, unnamed reporters at the Washington Post and the New York Times have told ICBTS News that, in addition to mounting evidence that heterosexual males do exist in Alabama, an even more alarming trend is affecting the Alabama election: male heterosexual thoughts. Long completely dormant..
Provincetown, MA — ICBTS News A fatigued but hopeful Kevin Spacey inspected work on a series of bunk houses in this beach resort town recently, during a break in the production of “House of Cards.” The 58 year old award winning actor has found time recently to review progress on a project very close to..
