by Dennis Trainor, Jr .

Dennis Trainor Jr wrote a new diary post: Sh*t Super Bowl Commercials Say
Jumping on the “sh*t people say meme” to lay bare what Commercials really say to us, namely: You are inadequate in every way you can imagine and several ways you have not yet imagined. Regress to the mean. Failure to do so and you risk winding up living in a van down by the river. [...]

Dennis Trainor Jr wrote a new diary post: Move To Amend and the 99% Movement
Should Move to Amend be among the top priorities of the Occupy movement? In a word: yes. In a few more words: the reason is that contrary to what Gordon Gecko (the fictional character of Oliver Stones tragically misunderstood satire WALL STREET) would have you believe as he embodied the ethos of the Ronald Reagan era, greed is [...]
