Some good news

I know it’s not much, but it’s the best I can do, good news-wise: It’s hard to recall a former politician who was showered with more free media attention than Chris Christie this month as he peddled his new book, “Republican Rescue.” Invited to appear on a carousel of shows, Christie was all-present as journalists […]

Rush Limbaugh is dead

It’s days like this when it saddens me that I no longer believe in Hell.

The Democrats appear to be getting it

Some years ago an occasional reader complained to me that I never had good news on this blog. I tried for a while to reform, and even created a “Good News” category, but if you click on it, you’ll see that it’s sparsely populated. But if this post goes as planned, it will join that […]

Some Good News

It is an odd thing that while some truly horrible things are going on in plain sight, though for reasons unknown our media tends to ignore or downplay the worst of them, like the President of the United States contemplating stealing an election by declaring martial law,other things are happening that should give us at […]

A hopeful sign?

Maybe I’m engaging in a little wishful thinking, but this gives me reason to hope: Sixteen U.S. Attorneys, all of whom were specifically assigned to monitor the 2020 election, have sent Bill Barr a letter confirming that there is no evidence of any election irregularities. In other words, all that Barr has done is to […]

A four years wait is over, sort of

The networks have finally called the election, and while it’s absolutely clear they would have called it two days ago had the situation been reversed, we can still feel good about things. In fact, I’ve decided to put a downer post that I’m writing on hold for a while, though rest assured, it will go […]

A Good Samaritan

This is not about politics. It’s the only way I can express my appreciation to someone who did an extraordinarily good deed for me today, appreciation I failed to adequately express at the time. It’s also an admission that while I continue to have nothing good to say about organized religion it is also the […]

Yes, it’s wrong, but…

I must say that after seeing all the coverage of armed militia men in Michigan standing up for their right to infect other people, I got a bit of a kick out of this bit of lawless behavior by someone on our side: The state is reconsidering its policy after a hacker released a script […]

Some tiny reason to hope

This poll makes fun reading. I’ll be the first to admit that polls mean very little this early into the four year cycle (the term “administration” doesn’t seem appropriate for the incompetent horror show we are enduring). I have a good friend who has someone with whom he must deal on a daily basis (not […]

Distraction free

First, a bit of a trip in the Wayback machine. As Reagan was sinking deeper into senility in the waning years of his presidency, it was revealed that he had surreptitiously sold weapons to Iran, our ostensible adversary. My guess is that had this been properly investigated, it would have been seen as payback (or […]
