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 […]

What if Obama had done this, Episode Infinity (Plus One)

Friday, July 5, 2019

According to the AP article as headlined by the New London Day “Trump Flies high in ‘Salute to America’”, the subtitle reading “Staying on script, he honors the military; protestors say Fourth should be about unity”. The substance of the article is basically more of the same. The paper of record (that being the New […]

Really, this should stop

Tuesday, July 2, 2019

Donald Trump wants tanks rolling through the streets of Washington on the Fourth of July. He envies his pal in North Korea, and he wants the tanks as a tribute to himself. That is the long and short of it. Anyone who tells you different is lying. In the print edition of this morning’s New […]

Yet another open letter to the New London Day

Monday, June 17, 2019

Today’s headline reads: Iran to Blame in Ship Attacks. This is an assertion of fact. It is not borne out by the actual text of the Washington Post authored piece to which it is affixed. Since the Day is a newspaper, surely its editors are collectively aware of the fact that many people simply skim […]
