The whole tone of the liberal-conservative polarity has just become so ugly and petty. They have both become pejorative terms depending on whose mouth speaks them. Conservatives assume that they know what liberals think and liberals put words into the mouths of the conservatives. They both limit the...

The whole thing amuses me greatly, Veronica. I'm not a political idealogue, I'm a humorist. I don't have the attention span to be partisan. I'm neither liberal nor conservative. I make fun of them both. The right is just an easier target than the left at this particular time. So to most people I see...

I'm being more and more amazed by the political polarity in our country. It's very evident on the web. I've been publishing The Poet's Eye for close to seven years on numerous web locations. It has appeared here on S8 since the beginning but S8 accounts for only a small fraction of my readership bec...

I cut my teeth on live TV Zorro was my mascot I could carve a Z on every adult's belly am I doing something wrong? In kindergarten ...

I love the angular momentum of this piece dino the tangental spin and you are right, the pictograph will rule, they are drawings of memes plus they say that the typical pictograph conveys the same amount of information as five English sentences and those smart-phone screens are small. The I Ching is...

perfect toon, Jack

I forgot to mention your sweet disposition.....

Hahaahahaahahaahahahahahahahaa!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :roll: :shock: I'm not a victim. WTF are you talking about? You're right. I would not only not appreciate being dominated, I wouldn't allow it. I'm NEVER dominated. I never will be and never have been. I don't allow it in my life. All of the persons wh...
