Only in America

Thursday, October 27, 2011

This country is going certifiably insane: Under direction from Gov. Scott Walker (R), Wisconsin’s GOP-led legislature is drawing up rules to allow the public to carry guns into the state Capitol. As the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports, the Assembly plans to allow guns onto the Assembly floor and into the viewing galleries and are meeting […]

Count the Stupid

Monday, September 19, 2011

The following letter actually appeared in this morning’s New London Day, and no, I don’t think it was intended as parody: Is The Day becoming socialist? Even though I buy The Day every day, I enjoy reading it on the Internet early each morning. Now I can only read 10 articles The Day considers premium […]

The Republican Health Plan: Die Quickly

Friday, September 16, 2011

This just came to my attention yesterday, though it happened in July. It becomes salient now considering Ron Paul’s recent response to a question that Wolf Blitzer, of all people, asked Paul at the most recent debate among the clowns that are seeking the Republican nomination for president. Blitzer asked what was to be done […]

Perry grabs the lead

Wednesday, August 24, 2011

Rick Perry is now the leading candidate for the Republican nomination, hopefully proving only that no one really likes Mitt, and they will consider any alternative, until that alternative demonstrates that he or she is insane, which, luckily for Mitt, they all eventually do. Still, as H.L Mencken said, “no one ever went broke underestimating […]

Inconsistent with Christian values

Monday, August 22, 2011

The Republicans continue to test the limits of what they can get away with, if they only wrap it in Jesus. Here’s a guy who says he stopped going to strip clubs when it occurred to him that his hobby was inconsistent with his fundie Christian values. Apparently, at some point he must have considered […]

Grifter leeches, long may they live

Friday, July 22, 2011

Today I got a mailing from Americans for Sarah, A Project of Justice PAC. I hate to admit it, because now my wife will have a comeback when I start kidding her about all the right-wing mailings she’s been getting lately. I like to think that some devious left wing mail order person is selling […]

This is what we’re up against

Thursday, July 14, 2011

I’m sitting in my office around noon today, and I get a call. We operate rather democratically at my firm. My calls aren’t screened and I never know in advance who’s calling. The caller is a man who doesn’t give his name until I ask. He begins by saying something to the following effect: I’m […]

Calling George Orwell

Sunday, June 5, 2011

You may recall that Winston Smith, the protagonist in George Orwell’s 1984 worked at the Ministry of Truth. His job was to revise past history by changing the text in various sources and throwing the originals (or past alterations) down the memory hole. Needless to say it was tedious work, and who could be sure […]

Michelle hears the call

Tuesday, May 31, 2011

Michelle Bachmann says she has heard the call to a higher vocation. This presents a number of questions, both theological and scientific. In some cases, a mixture of both. Now, when I was back there in Catholic school, there were nuns that put forth the proposition that the Lord would call you to his service. […]

TPM gives the Tea Party too much credit for ideological coherence.

Monday, April 18, 2011

A luckless staffer named Jillian Rayfield over at Talking Points must have drawn the short straw, for it fell to her to review Atlas Shrugged, Part One, which made its debut over the weekend. That’s right, the producers of this flick apparently think it’s the next Star Wars, for they project parts Two and Three, […]
