2025: The Year in Trench
2025 really was a clusterfuck clown car of a dumpster fire of a year, wasn’t it? And 2026 isn’t exactly starting out much better. So let’s take a moment to celebrate the small slices of life we did manage to enjoy. TV: My TV watching dropped off hard this year. The only full season of…

2024: The Year in Trench
Yeah. That picture kind of sums up the whole year, doesn’t it? TV: It’s all animated again this year. Suicide Squad Isekai was pretty good for an anime. I know a lot of people complained about how the Joker looked, but it’s an anime. That was exactly how an anime Joker would look. The second…

I guess we have to talk about the election…
I don’t know where to start. I started getting nervous about the 2024 election around the time the media went with the ‘Joe Biden is too old’ narrative. It got worse for me when the only political podcast I listened to agreed with this opinion. For my own mental health, I stopped listening to that…

2023: The Year in Trench
It was kind of a ‘meh’ year as far as pop culture went. That’s not to say there weren’t some gems to be found. TV: I’m not the biggest TV watcher anymore, but I did watch two series this year, both animated, of course. While I’m not the biggest anime fan, I did watch an anime series…

2022: The Year in Trench
This is what used to be the Trenchie Awards. I didn’t do one last year because of depression, and I thought no one cared. Well, someone cared, and they know who they are. TV: I actually didn’t watch any series regularly last year outside of wrestling. So, no winner for 2022. Movies: I only saw…

Don’t fool yourself: Trump could still win
I’m going to come right out and say it. I’m voting for Joe Biden in November. I didn’t vote for Trump in 2016 and I’m not voting for him now. Having said that, I see a number of people online who are proclaiming Biden to be the next president. To those people, I say those…

What is your opinion on Ron Paul? I know you think many of his followers are lunatics, but I just wondered what your opinion was on the stances he took.
I admire Ron Paul. He is a man of character and it’s sad to see that the Tea Party movement, which he basically started, has been hijacked by a bunch of idiots. What breaks the deal for me with Ron Paul is his stances on legalizing drugs and especially legalizing prostitution. Legalizing drugs would cause…

The difference between Ted Kennedy and Laura Bush
In the wake of Ted Kennedy’s death it seems that a type of debate has broken out. Basically it comes down to why is Kennedy vilified for Chappaquiddick but former first lady Laura Bush isn’t for the death of Michael Dutton Douglas. Personally I think the differences are obvious. Kennedy had already been a senator…

Office Politics
On Friday we had politics in the office again, this time from the other side of the spectrum. One of the staff was going around asking for signatures on a letter she was sending to John Edwards asking him to support the proposed marriage amendment. Obviously, she doesn’t realize how the Democratic Party works these…
