The Day Opines

Tuesday, June 9, 2020

The New London Day has called on Roseanne Kotowski to resign from the Groton Representative Town Meeting, and State Rep. Craig Fishbein to resign as well, since like Roseanne, he has outed himself as a racist. I’ve written about Roseanne here and here. To briefly recap her story: she sent an email to Groton Town […]

Lessons learned

Friday, May 29, 2020

Susan Collins famously said that Trump would learn his lesson from his impeachment. She was absolutely right, and I think her opponents in Maine should admit as much in commercial after commercial in the state of Maine. For instance, Trump learned the lesson that he can sell weapons to the Saudis if he wants, no […]

A Special Talent

Friday, May 22, 2020

It takes a special talent to fearlessly stand astride both sides of an issue, but our State Senator, Heather Somers, has it down to a T. Republicans these days must walk a fine line. They must satisfy their base while not alienating “moderate” Republicans who have not yet come to terms with the fact that […]

Evil is the only word for it

Wednesday, May 20, 2020

When does political corruption become malevolent evil? We’ve likely seen many instances, but in this time when politicians of all stripes are falling all over themselves to “thank” the people who are on the frontlines during this plague, this must surely take the cake: More than 40,000 National Guard members currently helping states test residents […]

Sometimes I think they do it on purpose!

Wednesday, April 29, 2020

Yesterday Mike Pence made a jackass out of himself by going to the Mayo Clinic and refusing to wear a mask. Naturally, every sane person in the country piled on. His initial excuse was that he was tested regularly, so he is exempt from wearing a mask, and is free to shake hands and do […]

One of life’s mysteries

Thursday, April 23, 2020

I know all these people must be smarter than me. For instance, I never could have masterminded the theft of an election like Brian Kemp did. But even I have noticed that more than one person who has loyally done as Trump asks has had reason to echo these lines from Paul Simon’s Paranoia Blues: I […]

Another blast from the past

Monday, February 10, 2020

I’ve mentioned before that I keep a diary on my Ipad, in which I’ve tried, along with my own pathetically dull life, to chronicle the day to day developments related to the Orange menace. Four years ago the New Hampshire primary had just taken place, and I wrote this: In other news, there’s no other […]

A shock: Republicans continue to be Republicans

Monday, January 27, 2020

I have been totally bewildered by the raft of blog posts and news articles proclaiming that John Bolton’s book excerpt changes everything! Even if it did, the Republicans would find a way to ignore it. For once, though, they’re telling the truth when they say it adds nothing to the case. There is already ample evidence in […]

Pompeo melts down

Friday, January 24, 2020

It has been a given, and still is, that the Republicans will acquit the genius, but if recent events are any indication, it may also be the case that they see the walls pressing in upon them, no matter what they do. Today, we all learned that there’s a tape in which Trump’s obvious lie […]

Do I smell a rat?

Monday, January 6, 2020

I understand that John Bolton has announced that he will honor a subpoena to the Senate trial if he receives one. I also understand that he is a big cheerleader for an Iranian war, and is quite happy with the genius’s recent actions with respect to that country. If I were advising Nancy and the […]
