Why was the Angry
Blue Warthog so angry? What did he have against B.C. the Cat?
Fred the Hand and Shakespeare the Moustache didn't know, but
they took the Warthog with them on a strange and wonderful
journey to Razzmatazzmania to find out! You know Razzmatazzmania---it's
past the W.C. Fields, under the Lloyd Bridges, and beyond the
Veronica Lake.
A fable by Rip Rense, illustrated by Keith Snider. Purchase book
and poster at
Rip Post Store.

RENSE COLUMNS:
THIS IS WHO WE ARE
July 8, 2022
EXCERPT:
Mental Illness? This country is a stinky, heavily tattooed
recluse hiding in the basement, staring fish-eyed at a computer
screen, scratching his or her billions-served belly, farting
through old underpants, swilling Diet Pepsi and canned
cocktails, masturbating to porn that would have disgusted
Caligula, AR-15 close by to deal with deep state stormtroopers,
heathens, minorities, women, gays, Nancy Pelosi. Either that or
throwing asinine, sanctimonious “pink pussy hat” weekend parties
in the streets, carrying impotent signs about “Repignicuns” and
“Regulate Dicks,” conflating lascivious sexual behavior with
“rights” and “liberation,” turning every issue into identity
politics, and “diversity” and "inclusion" into code words for
quota systems and discrimination worthy of the China Cultural
Revolution. |
THE KAREN VS. CARUSO
Oct. 25, 2022
EXCERPT: Bass thrives on the make-nice
“consensus building” “partnering” “coalition-making”
bureaucratic no-man’s-land lingo on which most government
inefficiency, stagnation, constipation, is built. Remember, this
is a person who said she would need two mayoral terms to have
any impact on the cataclysmic problem of homelessness in L.A..
Talk about a ploy. Talk about setting your sights low. |

The
long-awaited sequel to LTSEWH! You read them in the awful
L.A. Times, San Francisco Chronicle, airline magazines, even
this website! You even bought the original LTSEWH book! Now,
fifteen years later, here it is---this time spectacularly laden
with profanity!---Less Than Satisfying Encounters With Humanity
II! Inane and insane encounters as only Rense can experience,
and relate. The decline and fall of civility---including the
author's---in this, the horrific 21st century! Three hundred and
twenty pages' worth! Illustrated by Rense himself! (Well,
everybody's got to have a hobby. . .)

A weekly
Quixotic pursuit for appreciators of opera who don't expect too
much, would-be appreciators of opera who don't know what to
expect, and those somewhere in-between,
such as your host.
 
Verdi
Puccini
“If you’re gonna get off on somethin’ you don’t need to
know nothin’ about it, music is a universal language.
If it’s opera in Italian, you ain’t supposed to know nothin’ about Italy.
You can just sit there and dig on it.”
---the late, great Dr. John. |
