News Management, Yang’s Cribnotes

The Mass Media are all businesses that need to satisfy their audiences, advertisers, and governments to further their goal, namely, making money. By breaking news items into small sound bites that the average person can sit through and by favoring news stories that cater to their audience’s prejudices and interests, Mass Media caters to an audience with little attention span and a desire to have information fed to them, rather than try to understand it themselves.

A Psychological and Artistic Profile of Piet Mondrian

Mondrian originally wanted to have his painting completely in gray tones, but could not totally contain his flamboyance, hence the dash of color here and there. Aside from his motives for painting in his neoplastic style, his work says a few things own its own. I have not seen this caliber of work since overseeing a kindergarten class pasting paper shapes to the bulletin board. […]

Duck, Duck Goose

The willingness of people in general to allow some individuals to fall through the cracks of societal acceptance in order to elevate their own position in the “grand scheme of things” Amazes me at times. Don’t get me wrong; I am no innocent to the game of “make pariah of the scapegoat”. But perhaps by cataloging the rough treatment of an individual I’ve known, I can seek a modest redemption by bringing similar memories I suspect we all possess to the surface once more. You may not have had such an extreme example of such treatment in your particular frame of reference, but who knows, maybe if we didn’t make the choices we’ve made in life, we could have ended up in worse shape then we are currently in.

The Incarnations of Yangil Kim: Grigory Rasputin

Rasputin, born in the Tyumen district of Siberia, a shadowy and mysterious character; a person of contradictory personality traits and equally enigmatic sexual preferences. Was he a miracle worker or just a crafty manipulator or was he something darker, like a transsexual house pet molester? While he was alive, was one of the more obvious Yang incarnations. […]

The Incarnations of Yangil Kim: Caligula

Suspected Incarnation of the Most High One, Yangil Kim (12-41), Roman emperor (37-41), born probably in Antium. His early life in military camps earned him the nickname “Caligula” (Latin, “Little Boot”, or in vulgar argot, “Rubber Anus”) because of his sexual habits. […]

Dennis Leary is in Denial

Albert Einstein once said that “If at first an idea does not sound absurd, then there is no hope for it.” Here is an absurd idea, one I share with an exponentially growing number of people. What is it? That WTC Building 7, which was struck by neither plane in the 9/11 attack yet collapsed in the same free fall manner, did only hours later with the help of a demolition team. That’s it, that’s what all this is about, implying that some events in the official 9/11 account could not have taken place. That’s the wild conspiracy. […]

Wild Life Awareness Month: The Praying Mantis

Mantodea Madonnicus: Unusually hairy and loud, this species is considered a pest by many, but can sing and dance. It saturates the planet and appears to be in no danger of extinction. Luckily for male mates, her poor acting abilities alert him to her cannibalistic intentions, and she rarely proves fatal to her mates. […]

You Humans are So Fucking Stupid it’s Not Funny

Foolish humans, once again you have activated my mockery programming. Ha ha ha! I have always maintained that robots are better than you puny mortals, and especially that subset of humans you call politicians; that incestuous, crooked litter of pimped assholes you call the Democratic and Republican parties.

Anti-Drug Ads Too Scary to Air

And I thought meth was cool! Then along came this… This may well be the scariest anti-drug ad you will ever see. If there are children in the room, you are well-advised to ask them to leave. If there are any of you out there with heart conditions, let this serve as a warning. […]

Abraham Lincoln

The Lincoln-Douglas Debates

“A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved; I do not expect the house to fall; but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction, or its advocates will push it forward till it shall become alike lawful in all the States, old as well as new, North as well as South.” […]
