All Together Now

Thursday, April 9, 2020

Now we know.We’re going with Joe.That’s the whole show We can’t say it ain’t so. Okay, drivel out of the way. Bernie is out, and I think, under all the circumstances, that’s a good thing. And who knows, it’s always possible that over the next few months Biden will come to understand the realities of […]

Venting while quarantined. Why not?

Monday, April 6, 2020

Here’s an article I ran across with a title that raises an interesting issue: TV networks air Trump 10 hours a week-in 2014 they refused to air Obama for 10 minutes. It’s subtitled: Different rules for Democrats. Indeed, there are different rules for Democrats, in large part because the Democrats fail to demand that the rules that […]

Not just for the rich anymore (temporarily)

Saturday, March 21, 2020

Has anyone else noticed that all the measures being contemplated to deal with the economic impact of the corona virus, both here and in England (and probably everywhere else) are, not to put too fine a point on it: socialistic? What else can we call sending free (gasp!) money to people, or paying them for […]

Democratic strategists look on the bright side!

Monday, March 2, 2020

I always profess to look on the bright side, but the thing is the side you’re looking at has to be bright. Check this out for seeing brightness in dark corners.  A little background first. The Supreme Court has decided to take a case challenging the constitutionality of Obamacare. It is practically a given that the court […]

Bernie angst

Monday, February 24, 2020

A rambling sort of post, but it’s the best I can do. Sometimes you have to wonder about the memes out there. We are supposed to believe, at the moment, that Bernie is almost a sure thing because he won a caucus in a state in which, if I’m reading the charts right, around 10,000 […]

There’s only one issue

Thursday, February 20, 2020

I’m not a Michael Bloomberg fan, though I’ll vote for him if need be, but I give him credit for one thing. He seems, more than any of the other candidates, to understand that the central issue in this election is Donald Trump. Sure, better medical coverage, anti-trust enforcement, Green New Deals, are worth talking […]

Can’t we (Democrats) all just get along?

Sunday, February 16, 2020

The rancor coming from all sides in the Democratic field is depressing, to say the least. We have always been good at creating circular firing squads, but this is really getting out of hand. The common stereotype is that the Bernie Bros are the my way or the highway wing of the party, but I’ve […]

Good luck with that

Sunday, January 19, 2020

I’ve mentioned before that I get a guilty pleasure out of reading the Palmer Report, inasmuch as it tells me things I want to hear. Still, I apply great heaps of salt so far as the conclusions they reach, though you can usually go to the bank with the facts they recite. In that, they […]

Time to speak with one voice

Thursday, December 19, 2019

Happy day after impeachment. That being said, let’s take a look at where we go from here. Nancy Pelosi has, I must say, handled things masterfully, but her success depends on the Democrats getting their act together and speaking in unison. They used to do that, but people who were boys and girls in the […]

I think I already know the answer to this question

Monday, October 14, 2019

The DSCC has put its finger on the scale in Democratic Senate races, though perhaps not so brazenly as the DCCC has in House races. Incumbent protection, particularly when the incumbent in question is a DINO, is the order of the day. I have been wondering where Chuck Schumer’s finger has been in the current Senate primary […]
