Save Venice Mecca For Writers

UPDATE: We WIN! Beyond Baroque has received a 25 year lease… for a buck!  A message from Author and Mentor to 1000's, Jack Grapes .  I don't usually do these kinds of emails asking people to help a cause. There are so many causes, national, local, personal.   But for us, we poets and writers […]

Late Nite Tin Foil Hat

I have been thinking about this whole Right Wing Rebellion, especially Ms. Ann “yeah, I know but she’s probably hot in the sack” Coulter. As we all know by now, Ann said she would campaign for Hillary over McCain. The Reds have been mounting a ball of confusion. Rush Limbaugh on  Super Tuesday was saying […]

Ripped Off Content Report: SUPER TUESDAY!

Ah a Super Bowl and a Super Tuesday all in two days! Hunter Thompson is swirling around in the atmosphere, watching both at the same time. For sports-poly junkies it is a dream come true. Ya know that feeling of football withdrawal you get right after the big game? Alas we have something to ease […]

Buh-NAL vs. Baynul

I propose that American English speakers pronounce the word banal to rhyme with "anal". Nothing throws the conversational rhythm of American English (standard Midland accent) off like the high faluting second beat of "banal".

Nude Women vs. Naked Ladies

Frankly, I’m torn. Nude Women enjoy yoga and long distance running. Naked Ladies play paddle ball down at the lake. Nude Women keep journals. Naked Ladies do the Word Scramble. Nude Women are black and white. Naked Ladies have poor color separation. Nude Women play harps. Naked Ladies dance on top of pianos.

Building a New Coalition

n the midst of our national internecine squabbling, we’re missing an opportunity. We are at a historic crossroads, where the dominant party is undergoing a tidal pull. The conservative coalition – ascendant since the fifties — is sundering before our eyes. Libertarians, Goldwater westerners, paleo-conservatives, fiscal constervatives and the lingering pockets of what’s left of […]
