Replacing The Democrat’s Mascot

Andrew Jackson had plenty of enemies by the time he became president in 1828. The Age of Jackson is also the age in which politics started to get Nasty. His opponents even called him a “jackass.” Jackson liked it so much he adopted it as his party’s logo.
We live in a new age now where nasty politics is simply what we do for breakfast. Thanks to Kanye West, we know that imbecilic, egomaniacal buffoonery is what we do for a nightcap.
President Obama may have thought the recorders weren’t rolling a few days ago when he rightly slammed the hip hop fool, but as Richard Nixon once learned there is no such thing as “off the record” for the POTUS.

Life. Culture. Education.
Life as Pop Culture Professor Clay Morgan
In The Matrix, Morpheus tells Neo he can take the blue pill and go on believing whatever he wants to believe. Or he can take the red pill to stay in Wonderland and find out how deep the rabbit hole goes.
This is a red pill type site that provides information in an entertaining way. It’s about clear thinking and good writing. It’s about finding meaning amidst the absurd. It’s about humor and truth.
I’m a writer / speaker who teaches history and political courses at a couple of local colleges. Where is local, you say? Well, that would be Wonderland of course.
On topics ranging from pop culture to the meaning of life, my brain’s always poppin’. Take the red pill and unplug.
