Time for another NY Times Op-Ed?

Friday, June 5, 2020

The New York Times has taken some well deserved shit for running an Op-Ed by Tom Cotton, in which the fascist Senator from Arkansas argued for more fascism, i.e., that we should unleash the armed forces on protestors with whom he disagrees. The Times defended itself initially on the grounds that it has an obligation […]

C’mon Donald, You’re not supposed to say this out loud

Thursday, May 21, 2020

Gosh, the very stable genius just let a cat out of a bag, not that anyone hadn’t heard the cat mewling away in there. I mean, I thought Republicans were supposed to pretend that Fox is just another television network with a bunch of straight shooters, but here’s the genius tweeting us differently: Many will […]

Stockholm Syndrome

Friday, April 24, 2020

I am beginning to suspect that our national media suffers from a variant of Stockholm Syndrome. Not precisely the same, but somewhat. Perhaps we should call it What-If-Obama-Had-Said-Or-Done-This-Itis. The media has reacted to constant abuse from a certain stable genius by refusing to acknowledge the obvious, and pretending that his insanity is just Trump being […]

A gross injustice

Thursday, January 9, 2020

Major League’s Baseball Commissioner has initiated an investigation of the Boston Red Sox for sign stealing via electronic means. The entire investigation is a travesty. What kind of country is this, where you can steal elections but not signs? Not only that, consider this distinction without a difference: Sign-stealing that relies on nothing but human discernment and […]

Nothing much to see here!

Friday, November 8, 2019

Here’s another one for the What if Obama (or Hillary) had Done it? file. A state judge ordered President Trump to pay $2 million in damages to nonprofit groups on Thursday after the president admitted misusing money raised by the Donald J. Trump Foundation to promote his presidential bid, pay off business debts and purchase a portrait of himself […]

Things that make you swear and curse

Thursday, September 26, 2019

As Eric Idle wrote: Some things in life are bad They can really make you mad Other things just make you swear and curse This is one of those swear and curse things. We all know that the New York Times sends its reporters into diners in the hinterlands to scout out unrepentant Trump voters and […]

Time for some Democratic pushback

Monday, September 23, 2019

The New York Times is trying to both sides the whistleblower thing with Trump, attempting to breathe life into the Biden allegations, which were apparently originated by the same guy who wrote Clinton Cash, to whom the Times gave credence back in 2016. Yet another example of the need for the Democrats to learn to work […]

The Gray Lady Retreats and the Democrats attack

Tuesday, August 6, 2019

This morning a contrast between the Globe and the Times gave me cause to rant. Each ran the same article by Times reporters Michael Crowley and (ugh) Maggie Haberman on their front page. For each it was the headline story. It was about Trump’s pro forma speech about the Trump inspired massacre in El Paso […]

Fake News is a real thing sometimes

Wednesday, July 17, 2019

This has happened before, and it supports something the genius has been saying: there’s a lot of fake news out there. The fact is that most of the fake news supports him. Yesterday CNN had a panel of Texas female Republican. They were presented as representative of 2016 Texas females who voted for Trump. Nothing […]

Feeling anxious lately? Here’s why!

Sunday, July 14, 2019

Lately I’ve been feeling highly anxious, but until today I wasn’t sure why. I considered a number of possibilities, among them: The fact that the president of the United States is a narcissistic authoritarian bent on making himself a dictator even as he declines into senescence. The fact that the same president has stocked the […]
