Anger - The Only Emotion
My job isn’t a fairly difficult one. I work in the accounting department for a major construction company. I come in everyday and sit at my desk and enter invoices, do research, run checks, and everything that comes along with all that. Sure it’s not the most enjoyable job in the world, but its steady [...]
“Fetch! Roll Over! Play Dead! No?.. B*tch”
You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. I’ve never had a dog—nor have I tried to teach one tricks, young or old; but I figure, if They say it, it must be true—after all, They were right about so many other things, like about love being blind, and peeing in the wind. So why [...]
Lecturers Refuse to Spy on Muslim Students
Last year, the Government released guidelines for universities on how they should deal with any ‘Islamist’ activity on their campuses. These guidelines have been rejected by the lectures’ union UCU, who bridle at the suggestion that their members should ‘snoop’ on their students and inform the police about any ‘Islamist’ activity. They say that university [...]
So Let Go
Anne Morrow Lindbergh said that the beach “is not the place to work; to read, write or think†because we become “like the element on which one lies…bare, open, empty as the beach, erased by today’s tides of all yesterday’s scribblings.†Clearly, Ms. Lindbergh was nothing like me because my mind is pre-set to beach [...]
Cindy Sheehan’s Last Stand
Lauded by the left and loathed by the right, Cindy Sheehan has decided to pack her bags and go home, ending a nearly three-year long protest to end the Iraq war. In the wake of the Iraq funding battle in which the Democrats decided to give the President money for the war, Sheehan, frustrated, gave [...]
A Word Without Definition
I caught hell for arguing that the six people who planned to massacre soldiers at Fort Dix weren’t terrorists, but just simple enemies of America. Sure, it was easy to lump them in with the rest of the Islamic radicals; they want to kill Americans, they were Islamic fundamentalists, they must be terrorists, but what [...]

How to Make Decisions
Issue 69
We welcome your letters, questions and desperate pleas for help in this uncaring world. As always, e-mail WBXylo at Gmail.com. Don’t fret about e-mailing me with puzzle problems; I won’t yell at you.
Q: Who is that big red-orange hairy monster in the Bugs Bunny cartoons? You know the one [...]
Why Won’t We Look Beyond The End Of Our Nose?
It’s amazing how easy it is to get important problems in foreign countries on British TV screens. All you have to do is get a British guy beaten up and all of a sudden its being mentioned every 15minutes on Sky News. Take for example the growth of homophobia within Russia and other Eastern European [...]
Anger - The Only Emotion
I have lived in my apartment now for close to three years. The building consists of two stories and only 21 apartments total so it’s not a big complex by any means. The walls are rather thin, but unless someone is blaring something then you still can’t hear them. Up until about 2 months ago, [...]
Our Collective Dysfunction?
Or is it just me?
I have nothing of substance to say to you this week. Nothing remotely funny, moving or entertaining to share because I’m too distracted by my birthday coming up this weekend. Not because I’m old and I need to cry about it, but because I can’t handle getting older. I don’t want [...]
