    More Shots Fired in The War on Reality

    I get lots of emails offering “guest articles” for blogs. By which they mean that they’ll pay me to post some bullshit marketing stuff as though I wrote it.

    Rewriting The Holocaust

    In 2007 I did a speaking tour of eastern Europe, including Hungary, Poland, Russia, and Croatia. I spent a night in Belgrade, but my talk was canceled because there were anti-American skinheads waiting outside the hotel looking for Americans to beat up.

    All Kinds of Flooded

    When there are flood waters, it’s easy to forget how completely everything gets damaged. There’s the obvious stuff, like rivers of pig shit and urine going into the rivers and then everyone’s living room, but what about the subtle stuff – the stuff most of us won’t even think of?

    The Art of The Cynical Apology

    In my opinion, there are some apologies that are worse than nothing. If a course of action is harmful or annoying to others, yet we choose to pursue it anyway, it is a considered action; presumably we have weighed the pros and cons and decided that it’s still worthwhile.

    When Downplaying Language Is A Giveaway

    One of the things that creeps me out about Mayor Pete is the corporate consultant-gabble that he sometimes drops into. It makes sense: he worked for McKinsey in his 20s, as one of the drones in the giant cash-extractive machinery of big dollar consulting.
