Freud said sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Sometimes that cigar still reminds one of a cock. A brown one, maybe. If you want to, or are preped to, see the cock, the cigar is the cock. If you're thinking of branch, you'll be reminded through the rough brown. If you're hungry, the smoke may remind you of BBQs. A cigar is a cigar. Which leads one to think of fires.

Respected presidents served during turbulent times in history. The men we tend to place on the top of the president's list, like FDR, Lincoln, and Washington, all served during a time when the future of the country itself was really uncertain, and no one would have been nutty to predict a bleak future. The Great Depression, the Civil War, the founding of the freaking country itself. Yet, they,

By Alberto Luperon, Dissociated Press WriterJuly 12, 2008--Weeks ago, New York Assemblyman Mark Catheter of New York introduced a bill that would regulate rape accusations. Now, he is receiving the backing of a not-for-profit organization, FRAT (the Federation of Rangers Against Tattletaling)."Rape will still be a crime," the Assemblyman says about his new bill.

1) Assuming God to necessarily exhibit specific personality traits, and then using though traits to prove God's existence or non-existence.

Your perception of perfection has failed to cling onto the foundation of reality. You need to prove that God having

A short version of what happened: a 16-year-old girl, Crystal, posts a video on YouTube. She calls out for help to get her alleged rapist charged with the crime. Later, the case is dropped. According to police documents (look at Smokinggun.com), she had said to police that the sex was consensual, legally speaking. I wasn't there for that.

Written September 2007Good evening, ladies and gentlemen of the Philolexian Society.Imagine that Santa Claus has crash-landed in the middle of Morningside Park. Blixem cracked two ribs, Rudolph’s broken his nose, Donner’s dead, and Prancer has forever lost the use of his rear legs. Santa’s in trouble, and he needs your help to save Christmas.Faced with this scenario, you should do one of two

Written February 2007So, I’ll be talking out of my ass. I’ve never fathered a child.Raising kids requires a bit of self-knowledge. You have to be able to impart some sort of wisdom to the kid. Even if they don’t surpass you financially, they can surpass you as human beings. They can be more disciplined than you are. Just a little improvement, in one area, the body of knowledge of the family

Written April 2007Ladies and Gentlemen of the Philolexian Society.When I was eight, I had a fever, and when I had this fever I dreamed that a large concrete block landed on my face. Believing this dream to be real, I woke up, and ran screaming throughout the house, yelling at everyone, "I’m dead, I’m dead."So, if it is true that saying something loud makes it true, then I am the sexiest corpse

The following is an e-mail I sent last November to the people in my “Acting Improvisation” class. It’s taught by an actress named Rita Pietropinto. (Most of her experience is from plays, but she was Aunt Amy on Daria, and appeared in the seventh episode of the first season of Chappelle’s Show. It's always funny to see a real teacher ask questions about “Jedi Boy-Touching.”)****Hello classmates

1) Plain logic is difficult, if not impossible, to separate from emotion; as emotion is difficult to separate from logic. They guide each other. Imagine men made of silly putty in a wrestling match. They grab each other and alter the shape of the other one. In the same way, emotions and logic (ie, explicit thoughts) guide each other. (I owe much to the late Albert Ellis for the foundation

Dear Leroy and Mei,Our society places a high standard on looks and money in relationships. Yet, even the most attractive and richest people have trouble keeping married. Many marriages end in divorce.That is it’s so nice that you too are getting married. I am not saying you two are ugly. Our friends will agree when I state that you are among the most attractive people around. For example,

1) Immoral acts by “religious” people stem from aspects of the person, not of the religious text. From what I’ve heard, most criticism against organized religion roughly states that religion (the Abrahamic religions in particular) justify immoral acts such as genocide. For instance, certain statements made in the Qur’an calling for a defense of the faith, and stories in the Tenakh (Old

Ladies and gentlemen, we live in a time when the revolutionaries are old. Their balls sag. Yes, we live in a time when the avant-garde has worked itself into the status quo.

A person is going to tell you a story. If they say it’s going to be very interesting, it’s going to suck. It might involve a quadriplegic midget prostitute, but she’ll get boring after a scene or two. Imagine a quadriplegic midget prostitute sweeping the floor. Really.

THE BIBLEWell, as the Torah moves along, it drags on painfully. But the point of the books, of course, is to be a record. Anyway, the thing I love about it, in a literary sense, is that it doesn’t explicate itself. It asks the reader to analyze the passages because all it does, when it tells its story, is declare the details. It’s like Hemingway’s bare-bone style, but not as boring.I believe that
