Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt.   Today we’re going to discuss racism and sexism, and all those other isms… But here’s the thing, half the folks that rail against those isms are themselves guilty as fuck of the very thing they rail against.  I’m going to use two prime examples that have crossed my line of sight ...

  Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt. Sorry for missing last week, but work left me with absolutely no ability to do anything more intelligent than, well, than the sort of things AOC or that sorry Alzheimer’s victim above say on a daily basis… Which is to say I was about brain dead.  I really wanted to do ...

  Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt.  No, sadly, this isn’t a movie review of the new Wonder Woman. I haven’t gotten to see it yet, due to domestic commitments.  Rest assured it’s on my list, but this is the busy part of the year for the wife and I, and we must carve out some time ...
