The Scariest “Monster” This Halloween is Big Government
I pride myself on not really being scared of much—snakes, heights, and zombies really don’t get to me… but the one “monster” that always manages to startle me is big government. Unlike snakes, heights, and zombies, big government creeps into every aspect of your life under the guise of “helping you.” Call me old fashioned, […]
No, Burning Down Buildings Will Not Stimulate the Economy
Check this out! Recently, this clip of a rioter has been circulating around twitter. In the clip, the rioter says burning down businesses is a “symbolic act”… Wait, what? Last I checked, burning down buildings is much more than “symbolic” to the property owner, the business owner, and the employees who work for the business. It is […]
I’ve Got a Fever and the Only Prescription is More Tuttle Twins!
Do you remember that old Saturday Night Live skit? You know… the Christopher Walken and Will Ferrell one. The one where Walken says, “I’ve got a fevah. And the only prescription is more cowbell!” It’s a classic, and one of my all-time favorite SNL skits. If you’ve never seen it, stop right now and click […]
Can You Talk About the Collapse of Venezuela Without Mentioning Socialism? The New York Times Can!
I think there was a time when journalists actually chased stories and reported on them in an unbiased manner. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen this firsthand—I was born in the early eighties—but I’ve heard whispers that such a time existed. For as long as I can remember, we’ve all known which news sources […]
Young People and Socialism: Maybe There’s Still Hope!
I’m recently home from Jekyll Island with loads of great new ideas for future Tuttle Twins projects—we’ve got so much great content coming out this year and I can’t wait to start sharing it with everyone! Less cool are the loads of bug bites I came home with—I swear they’re multiplying! In spite of the […]
Greetings from Jekyll Island!
I’m writing this morning from one of the rooms in the infamous Jekyll Island Club Resort on Jekyll Island, Georgia! Our awesome illustrator, Elijah, summed up the feeling nicely when he remarked that this place feels like a mix of The Great Gatsby and an episode of Scooby Doo. He’s right… when the fog hangs […]
Why do People Freak Out Over Supreme Court Nominees?
By now I’m pretty sure everyone has heard about the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I’ve seen a lot of people talking about how this is just another thing in the long line of awful and unexpected events that mark the now infamous “2020,” but I’ve gotta say—I really didn’t find the passing of an […]
Six Months to Flatten the Curve
Happy six month anniversary of “two weeks to flatten the curve!” Is it flat yet? Or do we just not talk about that anymore? The other day I had the chance to visit with some teenagers and the topic of lockdowns and mask mandates and curve flattening came up. A sixteen year old girl said, […]
Is it Time to Bring Kids Home?
Check this out! A parent took to Twitter to share an experience she recently had: My daughter turned around yesterday to grab her charger and her teacher immediately snapped and said she needed to be facing forward at all times. I said, “Go ahead, let the computer die!” in the background and the teacher quickly […]
Trump Hates the Troops and Sturgis Infected a Quarter-Million—or Not
Are you as sick of the “news” as I am? I don’t think it’s a stretch for me to say that most of us have become pretty skeptical towards journalists, and journalism in general. In fact, as I wrote that, I had to resist the urge to write the word journalism in quotes—that’s how snarky […]
