O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!

Sunday, June 12, 2016

I am constantly amazed at the extent to which so much of the press is uninformed about the forces that are shoveling our money to the .01%. Consider this article from our local rag, the New London Day, in which not a word is uttered about the outrageousness of what these “scientists” are proposing to […]

A legal question

Saturday, June 11, 2016

Two federal judges have declared recent changes in Ohio’s voting laws unconstitutional: Judge Michael H. Watson, appointed by George W. Bush, made his 120-page ruling May 24. He stated that the GOP-run Ohio legislature in 2014 had violated the U.S. Constitution and Voting Rights Act by cutting the period of early voting from 35 to 28 days. Lawmakers also got rid of “Golden […]

Come together

Wednesday, June 8, 2016

Trump said Sunday that a Muslim judge might have trouble remaining neutral in a lawsuit against him, extending his race-based criticism of the jurist overseeing the case to include religion and opening another path for Democrats who have criticized him sharply for his remarks. The comments, in an interview with John Dickerson, the […]

A nomination for surrogate

Friday, June 3, 2016

Good article here about HIllary’s recent speech skewering Donald Trump. There is a silver lining, however alloyed it might be, in having Hillary as our candidate. The Donald doesn’t know how to handle strong women, and it is beginning to show. I’ve said before that I really think Hillary should have a band of female […]

Times to Donald: You hurt our feelings. When can we do it again?

Wednesday, June 1, 2016

The New York Times is taking a bit of heat (example, here ) about its article this morning, in which it spends several introductory paragraphs bemoaning how mean Donald Trump is to the media, while only hinting at, rather than explicitly saying, that he lied about his donations to Veteran’s groups.
