Here’s What “American” Restaurants Are Like In Other Countries

Yup. Diners and drive-ins. Because the rest of the world believes that we Americans still live in the gastronomical 1950’s. \
And then, there’s American Fast Food. In Argentina, Burger King is absolutely amazing, thanks to free range, pampa-grass fed Argentine beef. Also, you can get a burger with a fried egg on it. Just in case you were wondering about that.
I always wonder what McDonald’s would serve in India, though I’ve no desire to find out in person anytime soon, thanks. Veggie burgers no doubt. #HolyCow

Ethiopian Coffee Is Screwed Unless We Do Something About It

Will climate change be real enough for you when your cup of Morning Joe costs $30? Will you still deny that climate change is happening when there are only 3 kinds of coffee and they all suck? Will there still be “nothing we can do about it” when you have to drink “recaffeinated malted wheat beverage” because coffee and tea are extinct?

Personally, I won’t miss Ethiopian beans. But I bet the loss of one type of coffee makes other coffee cost more. Not to mention the fact that if ONE bean is at risk, how many other beans may lose their battle with natural selection thanks to climate change? Something to think about.

6 members of Trump’s HIV/AIDS advisory board resign

6 Members of the HIV advisory board resign. “Why?”, you ask?
Due to lack of action and lack of hope for any action in the future by the President. Trump “simply doesn’t care” about people with HIV/AIDS. Shocking.
Here’s a funny thing: Imagine for a second if Trump…or someone he cares about enough (assuming that person exists), was diagnosed with HIV, how fast do you think he would do a swift about face?

U.S., Russia, Iran draw new red lines in Syria

More escalation.
So, we just shot down a flagged warplane of a sovereign nation that we are not at war with. Russia has come to Syria’s defense, saying that they will shoot down any US plane that crosses the Euphrates River. So, Iran of course decides this is a GREAT time to start launching missiles into Syria. If you ask me, it’s not gonna take much now to push things right over the edge. I only have one question…where will war break out first? Will it be Korea? Iran? Taiwan? Is this start of the big showdown with the “Axis of Evil”?
OK. Technically, that was 2 questions. And I have a third: If war breaks out, will our Navy be able to figure out how to avoid running into things and defend itself?

A Psychedelic Spin on “National Security”

The late Sixties / early Seventies was one of the most violent periods in American history. Race riots and police brutality at home, an undeclared, illegal war abroad (Vietnam). Sound familiar? 50 years and here we are again. But now, we have the Internet. We have the tools to organize and overthrow the corrupt forces at play in our government.
All we need now is The Will to do it…and the more brutal and ridiculous things get, the sooner that happens. It’s long overdue. Time to shed the chains of our corporate overlords, and make America the Democracy it deserves to be.

Children are killing themselves more and more with guns

This is not a gun control issue at the federal or even state level. This is about adult gun owners failing miserably at proper gun control. The government can’t keep guns out of the hands of your children…that is YOUR job as parents and gun owners. Show me a kid who shoots himself and I’ll show you an adult who failed to properly control their weapon.

The Persistence of Prog Rock

Prog Rock has affected my musical sphere almost as much as Jerry Garcia did. Inspiration for so much that I write and play comes from Genesis, Yes, Rush, King Crimson, Gentle Giant…the list goes on and on. These days, my kid keeps feeding me new nuggets of progressive passion. I’m a lucky dad.
Happy Father’s Day to all the musical dad’s out there. #HappyFathersDay
