Continuing with our brand new erotic tale, here’s Part 3 of the journey… ‘Hi, can I get a beer when you’re ready, please?’ ‘Who’s next?’ ‘Em, yeah… can I get a beer there, when you get a chance?’ ‘Rum and coke please.’ ‘Hello, hi, excuse […]

How Lobbying Works – Part Two – It’s a Regular Scandal In Part One of How Lobbying Works, Henry Vespa discussed the arguably undemocratic influence of lobbying on government. In the second part of the series, be focusses on some of the lobbying related scandals that […]
How Lobbying Works – Part One – An Undemocratic Influence? We all like to think we know how a democratic government works. There are the three separate arms of government – executive, legislative and judicial (which of course, are never as separate as perhaps they should […]
Following on from a previous article about Bitcoin: The New Currency, today we look a little further into the subject. Bitcoin is an inevitable consequence of the Internet, a virtual currency that can be used to buy anything from cars to file-sharing, and clothes to solar […]
You could argue that all money is imaginary. After all, that dollar, pound, euro, whatever it is in your wallet, has no individual value, it’s just a physical representation of a symbol we all agree to believe in that allows us to exchange goods for […]
In 1996 Tori Amos declared that for her, ¨It’s gotta be big,” in the hit song Professional Widow. As far as I’m concerned she can have the big ones, for me it’s gotta be real. As the thinly veiled subject of that song was penises, […]
After watching Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., it’s become apparent that Joss Whedon is too good at swimming about in lore, whether he’s the inventor of it or not. In this most recent installment of Whedon cackling madly to himself as he inserts as many inside […]
Although a crazy-ass surrealist in my own right, I continually find myself troubled at the stampede of spiritual fixes on the market and in everyday culture. In the 60s, Buddhist and other Eastern teachers became popular among the acolytes of Ginsberg and Leary alike, and […]
There are fewer places folks want to bang more than in space. We all want to be like Spock and Uhura and go at it in zero gravity, there’s no way around that. Space is the ultimate aphrodisiac for all kinds of people (it’s space!). […]
Call me an idealist (you’re an idealist), but once in a while it’d be nice to see a human with some political power doing something for the vast majority of other humans. Most politicians sure know how to talk jive and make very fancy promises, […]
Last year’s apocalyptic craze foresaw the end of the world because a bunch of South American Indians stopped carving on their calendar. In 2009 Roland Emmerich brought the prophecy to the silver screen with the movie 2012, where a struggling writer somehow managed to survive […]
In what may be the single most told cautionary contemporary tale of our times, Tiger Woods’ story is a cliché within a conundrum. The pseudo-All-American boy’s rise and precipitous fall may be both the American Dream and the Yankee Nightmare. The single most successful golfer […]
Things move on from our introduction to La Muschi, as our erotic journey begins in Part 2… Distant footsteps approach. Running. A door swings open then slams shut. Greeted by a rather angry producer, La Muschi, panting (we all like a bit of panting, eh?) […]
Introducing La Muschi… Have you ever wished that you could ask a real live lesbian just what it is she does to make her lovers scream? Have you ever wanted to know those deep, dark, wet secrets that two (or indeed more) women share in bed together? Have […]
With buzz climbing about the soon to arrive next-generation offerings from Sony and Microsoft, and an industry-wide focus on creating gaming experiences much like what we are used to, the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset is something of an outlier. Developed by Palmer Lucky, the co-founders of […]
Following on from a previous article about privacy in a world of social media, today we look a little further into the subject. In this technological age, is the notion of privacy obsolete? How has technology changed the way we act, interact, and expect others […]
My best guy friend met a hot chick in a bar one night. They exchanged numbers and within a few days he had a sweet collection of very hot photos, which he showed us all. The guys gawked while I thought, wow, is this what […]
In these strange and interesting times, when science fiction is today’s run of the mill daily news, and where the somewhat unbelievable gadgets of government agents and super spies have become corner store commodities for any kid with enough spare change to purchase them, it’s […]
I cleaned out my closet, setting aside clothes for donation – clothes I hadn’t worn in at least a year. I confirmed what I’d always felt inside my heart: I’m pretty good with spring/summer clothes, but my fall/winter attire is subpar. It may have something […]
