Making a Name for Himself

A tribute to the inimitable Richard L. Bare — Strange and surreal. And very funny. That describes the classic 1960s sitcom, Green Acres. It also describes one of the most prolific directors of that show: Richard Bare. A giant physically and metaphysically. A giant in entertainment and for posterity. Richard Bare passed away at a respectable three digit age: 101 on March 28, 2015. With…

A Tyranny of Averages

The overuse of averages in statistical analysis and decision-making where an average is relatively meaningless due to the shape of data distribution. There’s a story being spun around the world today. It is epic, riveting, and draws a global audience. Each country is a chapter in this saga. Every doctor…

Out of Many, One

Since its inception in 1890, The Rose Parade has always been about boastfully showcasing the amazing lack of weather in Southern California — Pasadena precisely, where roses bloom year-round, opening themselves to the world, even on chilly mornings. But on this particular morning, the 2019 Rose Parade will showcase a…

Narrative Du Jour

In the first season of Surreality News, a multi-network scripted program that runs 24/7, the Red Menace conspires with the Neo-Nazis in a surreptitious coup d’état of the United States — an imbroglio that seemingly cannot be undone, nor even verified (only vilified) by the Deep State. …

Thelma & Lousiana

Comma Sense Isn’t Always Common Sense

Native Americans had no place in their language for the Oxford comma, also known as the serial comma. They called the Portland, Maine peninsula Machigonne, or Great Neck. Situated on the Great Neck is the Oakhurst Dairy, a place that should have had a place for the Oxford comma when…

A Bone of Contention

Facebook is an agent of our ancient impulses: the trend of Unfriending with the simple click of a button (an act that’s easier than confronting an imminent former friend face-to-face) is further evidence of an ever-evolving political tribalism, where virtual comfort zones are demanded by surrounding oneself with like-minded people. …

Humility at Death’s Door

When Hillary Clinton lost the election in 2016, our social contract with one another withered like fading stars in the morning. Ugly got uglier. Humility has since been knocking at Death’s door. The pounding fists of dissent roused the likes of Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau, who have each turned in…
