The Joke Is on Me!
You are probably wondering if I made a typo or some other mistake in choosing the title of this post. I did not. Bear with me for a few minutes, and you will agree. A few weeks ago, I posted a piece with the title “Poetic Justice,” in which I argued that the conservative super-majority…

The Day After
So, we didn’t just lose the presidency, we lost the senate too. And chances are we will lose the house as well! 😟 Go project 2025. 😥 In his last term, he did what he promised (except for the wall): tax cuts for the wealthy (Reagan’s trickle-down economics) and overturning of Roe v. Wade (probably…

The Election Night
With most polls indicating a very close presidential race -pretty much within their margins of error- I doubt anyone can confidently make a prediction about the outcome of the presidential election (please see How Reliable Are Election Polls for a more sinister view on the predictions made solely based on such polls in general). However,…

Questions for Elon Musk
How much is a person’s dignity worth? or their pride and self-respect? in absolute terms, or relative to one’s current worth. What does it take for a well-educated, incredibly intelligent person to set aside all that intelligence and play dumb, pretending that they don’t understand or appreciate the absurdity of pretty much anything the former…

In fact, the following are his exact words, hopefully with sufficient context to prevent drawing misleading or incorrect conclusions: Christians, get out and vote, just this time, you won’t have to do it any more. Four more years, you know…

Guilty or Not Guilty? A Methodology of Proving Existence or Non-Existence
I am sure many of us have heard, in recent days, that a certain high-profile prosecution was politically motivated and unfair. Hearing this from the cult members, or the propaganda media outlets’ opinion hosts that are extensions of the defendant’s legal defense team on the PR front, should not come with much surprise. After all,…

Do Supreme Court Justices Appreciate the Absurdity of Some of Their Own Rulings?
I have been wondering about this a lot in recent days. It is clear that this question is not relevant to the three liberal justices dissenting most if not all of the recent absurd rulings. As for the remaining six conservative Republican-appointed justices, I would like to say that the answer is yes. But then,…
