Remigration

Another topic I have “touched upon” is “remigration.” This word is a neologism, which means coming back to where you have been driven out.I've always said that I wanted a smooth ride, but I couldn't help rocking the boat. Rocking seems to be in my genes.

Remarkable People

On the road I have traveled, I have met many remarkable people. First I name my friend and mentor the late Emile Capouya. “Mike” encouraged me over the years and published two of my books in New York.

grew up in the United States, associating with the New York City jazz and coffee scene in the 1950s. ". . I've always said that I wanted to have smooth sailing, but I couldn't help rocking the boat.

The Myth of Onan

Herbert Kuhner
There was a cartoon in Paul Krassner’s Realist decades ago. A man lifts up the flap of a tent in which a man sits cross-legged on the ground. “Hey, Onan,” the man outside says, “ya’ made the Bible!”
Onan did indeed achieve notoriety, and his name became synonymous with the singular action.
Here’s the story, according […]

Eager for Matrimony

Herbert Kuhner
These days, when marriage is no longer a social necessity, those who previously had an aversion to the sacred knot, like gays and profligates, are making a bee-line for the altar
Profligates, who enter respectable professions (such as politics), need a cover for changing partners and casual encounters, and what can provide that better than […]

Noblesse Oblige and Hillary

The life of a handsome little boy was snuffed out. He left this earth at the age of 17 months before Christmas of 2007.
His mother’s boyfriend had severely beaten him and sexually abused him.
The mother brought the injured boy to a hospital, where his physical injuries were cared for. Then the authorities returned him to […]

The sado-masochistic ideology espouses extreme forms of violence such as pedophilia, rape and murder, including political assassination, and the vilification and killing of cripples. Its advocates operate under the sanctified carapace of art, […]
