Communism
My first run in with communism was at the age of seven, when I invented it. I was sitting at the coffee table, trying to drive a remote control car across a ruler taped to the edge in an effort to recreate a scene from Back to the Future Part III when I was struck by an ingenious idea: What if, right, instead of like everyone having different amounts of money and stuff, everyone just...

On Having a Stomach Ache
There are many unanswered questions here on this lump of rock and dwindling interest rates that we call our home. For instance: why is the sun so large? Where did I put my keys?
