I just got an email

Tuesday, August 16, 2016

I have been getting lots of emails from the DNC, “begging” me for money, totally confused about why I have not responded to pleas from a galaxy of Democratic stars. My primary reason for not giving to the DNC is that it still has not removed the stench left by the recent exit of Debbie […]

Perhaps I can help

Wednesday, July 13, 2016

So today I got several emails from the DCCC pushing similar themes. Here’s the first few paragraphs of one: We’re confused… After Bernie Sanders’ inspiring call to unity, we thought at long last Democrats would…well…unify. But sadly that’s not what’s happened. Grassroots Democrats just haven’t stepped up. The entire world is watching to see if […]

Strange Mugfellows

Sunday, July 3, 2016

Today my family celebrated three birthdays that occur around this time of year, mine being one of them. My son and daughter in law, along with a real gift, gave me a mug, which they got at the Vermont Country Store of all places, which bears the pictures of various Democrats. Suffice to say, they […]

One more reason I won’t give to the DNC, DCCC, or DSCC

Wednesday, June 22, 2016

As most politically aware Democrats know, there will be a primary in late August to decide the Democratic nominee for the United States Senate. Alan Grayson is one candidate. Lord knows he’s not perfect (well, actually there is no Lord), but at least he’s an actual Democrat, something that can only technically be said about […]

Truly loathsome

Monday, June 6, 2016

It’s a given that the Republican Party is chock full of loathsome politicians. In fact, it’s hard to find one that’s not loathsome. But we shouldn’t forget that we have our share of them too.

Aiming to lose

Friday, May 13, 2016

Here’s why l won’t give money to the DNC, DCCC, or the DSCC. The depressing thing is that a Hillary victory will mean four more years of this.

No question it’s so, Joe

Wednesday, May 4, 2016

In case you were wondering (and you probably weren’t) what Joe Lieberman is doing these days, here’s an update courtesy of Down With Tyranny: Wall Street banksters fund No Labels to destroy Social Security, Medicare and other social services and they have decided on Lieberman and Huntsman as their new frontmen. Reactionary politics is the […]

A Democratic hypocrite of Republican proportions

Friday, April 29, 2016

It is a sad fact of life that, while they are indeed masters of the art, the Republicans do not have a monopoly on hypocrisy. Consider Debbie Wasserman Schultz, one of the more loathsome Democrats out there: Last week, Florida congresswoman and DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz announced that she was signing on as an […]

In a nutshell

Monday, March 7, 2016

This just about says it all: In a February 11 interview, the Democratic National Committee Chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, was quizzed on these superdelegates by CNN’s Jake Tapper: Tapper: “What do you tell voters who are new to the process who say this makes them feel like it’s all rigged?” Wasserman Schultz: “Unpledged delegates exist […]

Getting ready for Hillary

Monday, February 29, 2016

Tomorrow is Super Tuesday, and unless I miss my bet, by the end of the day, it will be well nigh mathematically impossible for Bernie to get the nomination. The fix has been in for a while, given the existence of Super delegates, who are there to make sure that you and I have a […]
