You can't swing a dead vole around lately without hitting a reality series on television.  Being a guy who writes things, I can't help but be resistant to this trend.  I know they're cheaper to produce than scripted entertainment, but are they really more satisfying?  Think back (if you can) to the last series that really made you laugh and I'll bet someone wrote it.  If someone didn't, and you're still laughing, chances are you're laughing at someone and not with them.  There are plenty of poor bastards on reality T.V. too to chuckle at.  After all they're just slobs like us with cameras stuck in their faces trying desperately not to look like a complete dork in front of 30 million people.

This is not to say reality T.V. isn't entertaining or even educational in its own right.  It can be, provided you're watching the right stuff and paying attention.

Here some guys help out the alien dude by whacking it on the back. Nice.It's been a long time since anything got tossed into Conspiracy Corner.  This wasn't for lack of conspiracies, but my lack of motivation in writing about them.  Actual, no-tinfoil-on-the-noggin conspiracies are commonplace whenever people group up and decide to do almost anything worth doing.   For a long time, I, like most people I think, was under the impression that this alone meant nefarious things were afoot.  As I've grown older, I've come to realize they're probably doing things in secret because they didn't want a bunch of screaming idiots bothering them and mucking things up.  The more important the things they're working on, the more need to keep things from morons, basically.  Great things rarely get done by large groups of people.

Heads or tails, America!So much has happened in America since the last time anyone around here could be bothered to update IRREVERENT.  America had a series of rancorous political debates, starring John McCain -- in effect, the absolutely whitest white man ever to showcase the color -- and Barack Obama, who in comparison was considerably less white but far more articulate.  A nation continued to be divided over a crippling foreign war.  Then, for the first time in history, a non-white-white-white guy was elected to the highest office ever in a major Western democracy.  Michael Moore, I'm sure, made a movie about it within minutes.  Then the entire economy collapsed like Hulu-ized cranium.  Mushy, mush.
