John Rachel poet? Is this a joke?

Posted on October 8, 2017 by johnrachel

I just got four poems published. Does this herald some epic breach in the edifice which has been over centuries the steadfast defense of good taste against assaults by dilettantes, pretenders, and other faux-creative rabble? Am I losing my mind? Does my chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight? At least there’s a scientific answer to the last of these queries. All else is shrouded in mystery, yet dispersed by widespread dispassion — meaning, “Who cares?” The yawns unanimously carry the vote again. Continue reading →

Dealing With A Serial Killer

Posted on April 1, 2017 by johnrachel

There’s a serial killer on the loose. Eight to ten people a month have been murdered over the past several years. This has got to stop! So decide to get tough and pull out all of the weapons at our disposal: We take out full-page ads in the newspaper, have street demonstrations. We sell t-shirts, have lots of expert discussion on TV, we send emails, mount a huge telephone campaign, have a Town Hall meeting, and even organize a petition! It’s a smashing success. Everyone (who’s still alive) signs the petition! For some reason the killing doesn’t stop. Where did we go wrong? Continue reading →

Success Story! Black Man Beats The Odds

Posted on November 22, 2016 by johnrachel

Here is an inspiring success story! Our first black president beat the odds and the scourge of systemic racism and got his just reward. Just look at these photos of the opulent $5.3 million mansion President Obama will move his family into after Donald Trump takes the oath of office. Granted, not every African-American experienced such dramatic improvement in their fortunes over the past eight years. But like they always say … you can’t win them all. Continue reading →

It’s Not Hillary’s Physical Health That’s The Issue . . . It’s Her Mental Health!

Posted on October 18, 2016 by johnrachel

Despite a lot of speculation about Hillary Clinton’s physical health, based on her own bizarre behavior and evident fragility, to my mind the real issue is not her physical health but her mental health. There is an overwhelming amount of solid evidence that she is a sociopath of the first order, which translates to: Given the magnitude of the office of President, Hillary Clinton is an existential threat to the human race and should not be in any position of power, much less the presidency.

VIDEO BLOG: Open up the debates!

Posted on September 25, 2016 by johnrachel

I’m challenging Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton to show they can handle some real competition by including Jill Stein and Gary Johnson in the debates. I’m also letting CNN know that if they don’t push for this, they’re passing up the biggest windfall in the history of U.S. politics. Continue reading →

Posted on July 12, 2016 by johnrachel

You know how on the last page of a book it says, ‘The End’. Then you put the book down and life pretty much goes on like normal, except either you need to return the book to the library or take it down to a used book store and get a couple bucks for it. Well, this time we really mean it. So pay attention! Continue reading →

Just a little . . .

Posted on June 21, 2016 by johnrachel

It’s easy to confuse the little questions with the big questions. Language itself is often imprecise and misleading. Yet at other times it offers the appearance of an exactitude which is unwarranted, or at least inapplicable. Can we see the difference when we need to? Have we become so smart that we are outsmarting ourselves? Have we become victims of a conflation of logic and hubris? Continue reading →
