Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt:   We have something different this week, a guest post.   I was going to run something on the recent purchase of Twitter, the advance of free speech that it promises, and all of the rending of clothes and gnashing of teeth by anyone to even marginal left of center, including most of the ...

  Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt:    The topic of the day is Faux Pas, or as I used to pronounce it before I had heard someone say it aloud that actually speaks “surrender monkey” Fox paws.   I’m going to start out with the absolute disaster that is the SCOTUS leak because it’s the 1000 lb. elephant that’s shitting ...

The topic for the day is propaganda.  Call it that, call it “spin,” call it “deceptive advertising,” call it “shading the truth,” hell, call it “George” for all I care.  It’s something everyone does, at some level or another.  (This is ...

  Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt, get something to drink, and have a seat. I’ll be covering a lot of ground today, and I am going to look at most of it through the lens of a song that I absolutely despise.   Imagine, by John Lennon.    John was no relation to Vladimir Lenin, hell, it’s not even spelled ...
