The Age of Ignorance

-

Dr. Ben Carson, a darling of the far right, has once again dazzled us with his brilliance on being gay.

During an interview with CNN Carson stated that being gay was a choice. When pushed to explain his theory he replied that men go into prison straight and then come out of prison gay so there you are.

Actually Dr. Carson most of the sex in prison is rape, which I'm sure you know. Right? No apparently not. One research scientist said it best when she said Carson's statement was insane.

Carson has made many statements about the GLBT community, all of them stupid. Ben Carson proves that extensive formal education does not translate to intelligence.

If you follow politics closely then you know that Carson has been promoted by many conservatives has their best chance to wow America and take back the White House. They've been saying this for four years. I have watched Dr. Carson closely and listened to him at length and he is not their answer, he's their problem.

When this man opens his mouth it tends to result in batshit crazy with just a twist of intentional ignorance.

To recap Dr. Carson, gay people are born gay, it is not a choice. What to have for lunch is a choice, what shirt to where is a choice and standing up to ignorant people like you is a choice.

Did I mention you won't be getting my vote?

This morning Dr. Carson supposedly apologized for his gay comments on CNN. Problem is he said exactly what he believes and his previous history is proof. Stop saying stupid stuff Ben, then you won't have to apologize, unfortunately for you that means you can never speak again.

Sacrifice

After a lengthy absence from live performance I found my self wedged in a seat at Theater on the Square in Indianapolis. The production was "Sacrifice" , an original and first play from co-writers Marcus May and Caleb Nunez. Both have experience in short films and a life long love of the arts. The play is about racial tension between two families, one black and one Latino. Leading the Latino family is Ernesto, a building super who's wife was killed many years earlier by a young black male. Ernesto, engagingly played by Joe Vanegas, cannot let go of this life altering experience and as a result has a distrust of African Americans and a prejudice born of pain. His daughter Ana, played by Brittany Crone, views the world through a different lens, one of tolerance and acceptance of diversity. She tries to soften her father's views but to no avail. Enter the new tenants in the building, the black family father and son Antonio and Trey. When Trey meets Ana sparks begin

The Day After

Well, how you doing today. Feeling nauseous? Feeling giddy with joy? Feeling like the Republic is now under the control of a Sith Lord? Feeling like the saviour of the nation has arrived? I guess it all depends on where you stand. I said in this little forum from the very beginning that Donald Trump could get the Republican nomination and go on to win the Presidency. I was hopeful that he wouldn't but never delusional that he couldn't. Forget about the polls which got it wrong and forget about the professional pundits who got it wrong and are still getting it wrong in their analysis. Trump won in the Electoral College because of rural America turning out in large numbers. As I write this Hillary Clinton still has over 200,000 more votes than Donald Trump and that number will likely grow by the time the count is complete. The irony is that the same people who voted for Donald Trump are the ones who rail against the Electoral College. Let me repeat again that millions of Amer

The Write Path

Writing is like using a muscle, if you stop it atrophies. My problem as it relates to our current political environment in America is that I am not shocked by anything Trump is doing. Absent outrage over an unexpected atrocity makes it hard to crank out a regular commentary. Now, if I were being paid to produce this little plop of crap for you, I most certainly would muster the energy necessary to do so. But I'm not. What is there to say. Hillary Clinton is leading Donald Trump in the popular vote by 2.7 million, proving the Electoral College needs to be abolished, but I yawn. Trump has Mike Pence by his side waiting to implement a national assault on gay people and the reproductive rights of women, a Christian Jihad if you will, is Trump going to allow it? Trump has appointed a conspiracy theory nutbag, General Michael Flynn, as National Security Advisor but fortunately is nominating General James Mattis as Secretary of Defense, yes I support the waiver because he will be the san
