Just got through listening to them announce the verdict in the Trump trial. It brought this old Doonesbury cartoon to mind. Of course, back in those days there was no chance the Supreme Court would find a way to overturn what are obviously correct verdicts.

Looking on the bright side

Wednesday, March 27, 2024

I recall years ago that one of my readers noted that I rarely spread any good news on this blog, despite my yearly reminders to all (see Good Friday posts) that one must always look on the bright side. But today I am looking on the bright side, at least the hopeful side. Yesterday a […]

Some good news

Monday, November 29, 2021

I know it’s not much, but it’s the best I can do, good news-wise: It’s hard to recall a former politician who was showered with more free media attention than Chris Christie this month as he peddled his new book, “Republican Rescue.” Invited to appear on a carousel of shows, Christie was all-present as journalists […]

It’s days like this when it saddens me that I no longer believe in Hell.

The Democrats appear to be getting it

Tuesday, February 2, 2021

Some years ago an occasional reader complained to me that I never had good news on this blog. I tried for a while to reform, and even created a “Good News” category, but if you click on it, you’ll see that it’s sparsely populated. But if this post goes as planned, it will join that […]

It is an odd thing that while some truly horrible things are going on in plain sight, though for reasons unknown our media tends to ignore or downplay the worst of them, like the President of the United States contemplating stealing an election by declaring martial law,other things are happening that should give us at […]

A hopeful sign?

Friday, November 13, 2020

Maybe I’m engaging in a little wishful thinking, but this gives me reason to hope: Sixteen U.S. Attorneys, all of whom were specifically assigned to monitor the 2020 election, have sent Bill Barr a letter confirming that there is no evidence of any election irregularities. In other words, all that Barr has done is to […]

A four years wait is over, sort of

Saturday, November 7, 2020

The networks have finally called the election, and while it’s absolutely clear they would have called it two days ago had the situation been reversed, we can still feel good about things. In fact, I’ve decided to put a downer post that I’m writing on hold for a while, though rest assured, it will go […]

A Good Samaritan

Tuesday, September 8, 2020

This is not about politics. It’s the only way I can express my appreciation to someone who did an extraordinarily good deed for me today, appreciation I failed to adequately express at the time. It’s also an admission that while I continue to have nothing good to say about organized religion it is also the […]

Yes, it’s wrong, but…

Wednesday, May 13, 2020

I must say that after seeing all the coverage of armed militia men in Michigan standing up for their right to infect other people, I got a bit of a kick out of this bit of lawless behavior by someone on our side: The state is reconsidering its policy after a hacker released a script […]
