I’m on Mastodon

Tuesday, November 29, 2022

I’ve never been much of a Twitter user, and I very much welcome its possible demise as a result of the Elon Musk wrecking ball. I haven’t gotten around to terminating my account, since I’m a very lazy person, and they likely make it as hard as possible, but I have signed up for the […]

A transatlantic myth

Sunday, November 27, 2022

I ran across this article in my news feed today. It’s from the British newspaper, the Guardian. The title is what drew me to read it: Competence, what competence? Tory chancellors like Jeremy Hunt always spell disaster British politics are a lot like US Politics these days, with the Tory party becoming more and more […]

A Republican with Principles! (An oxymoron, I know)

Tuesday, November 22, 2022

Who says that our fascist overlord wannabes have no principles? Well, I’ve probably said it, but look, there are definitely exceptions, and I firmly believe all the other election denial liars should follow this Arizona woman’s principled example: Liz Harris, recently elected to represent Legislative District 13, issued a statement on her campaign website saying, […]

Looking ahead to a Republican House Majority

Sunday, November 20, 2022

I have read in multiple places that the Fascist Party has promised to spend the next two years avoiding doing anything that might benefit the citizenry, while engaging in fake investigations of Biden, his son Hunter, and even of Dr. Fauci. The hypocrisy is of course, mind-numbing, given that they will also shut down Congressional […]

More stuff you couldn’t make up

Thursday, October 20, 2022

I remember a time when you would not expect this sort of thing even from the folks down in Texas: TODAY is reporting that Texas is sending DNA kits to families to identify their children “in case of an emergency.” Harking back to the title of this post, would anyone really believe a work of […]

Climate deniers line up for disaster money they vote against

Sunday, October 2, 2022

It is, of course, no surprise to learn that Ron DeSantis, along with a huge majority of Republican Congresspersons and Senators, opposed financial aid to the Northeast when it was hit by hurricane Sandy, while voting for such aid when it was a red state that was affected. Biden, of course, and the Democrats as […]

Apparently it doesn’t take much to make a (Republican) hero

Thursday, August 18, 2022

All three of the newspapers to which we subscribe ran articles today hyping Liz Cheney, and bemoaning what her primary loss means to the Republican Party. This from the New London Day/ AP: Liz Cheney’s resounding primary defeat marks the end of an era for the Republican Party as well as her own family legacy, […]

Have we really come to this?

Sunday, August 7, 2022

I ran across this today. Nikki Haley is thinking of running for president, and if she does she intends to concentrate on the threat posed by transgender people. In a way, this is a sign that the Republicans are running out of people to openly hate, which I suppose tells us something somewhat good about […]

Chapter Infinity in IOKYAR

Sunday, May 8, 2022

You really truly couldn’t make this stuff up, this being just a quick update of it’s okay if you’re a Republican. It’s okay to commit voter fraud if you’re a Republican. Seems like one Billy Lanzilottie, a “23-year-old GOP operative, South Philadelphia ward leader, and chairman of the Republican Registration Coalition” arranged to have more […]

Both sides are equally bad! Republican edition

Wednesday, April 20, 2022

Every once in a while you read about one or more Republicans doing the right thing and you get sort of stunned. But then, if you look closer your faith in the party of fascism is fully restored. If they do something right, it will always be for all the wrong reasons. Case in point, […]
