The Impeachment Issue

Monday, September 3, 2018

There’s been a lot of back and forth lately about whether Democrats should campaign on impeachment this fall. It’s something the media brings up quite a bit, implying as they do that Democrats can’t stop talking about it. Democratic consultants meanwhile, are urging Democrats to stay away from it and concentrate solely on economic issues. […]

More of this please

Monday, September 3, 2018

Everyone in Washington knows it. Indeed, every thinking person in the country knows it, but there is among many an unspoken conspiracy to avoid talking about the fact that the man who occupies the office of the president of the United States is seriously mentally ill. We don’t need no doctor to tell us this, […]

Quotes of the day

Friday, July 20, 2018

I just finished reading a new translation of the Bhagavad-Gita, which I last read, in a different translation, back in my ultra-hippie days. For those unfamiliar with the story line, it takes place on a battlefield. The two main characters are Arjuna, a warrior, and Krishna, his charioteer, who, it turns out, is actually an avatar […]

Treason this week, forgotten next week

Tuesday, July 17, 2018

The reaction to Trump’s press conference with Putin was so negative that even the folks at Fox joined in the initial wave of disgust, though over the course of the next few days they’ll surely come around. Still, it is not every day that a former director of the CIA accuses a sitting President of treason. […]

Little Trumpie on his best behavior

Sunday, July 15, 2018

We were away for the weekend, so it was not until a few hours ago that I say this article in the New London Day about Trump’s visit to England. On line, the story is titled, appropriately, Protests, diplomatic backflips mark Trump’s visit to England. But I saw it first in the printed newspaper, where the title […]

The genius is seriously ill

Sunday, July 8, 2018

According to reliable sources, the genius (stable, he says) actually said this as he free associated in front of his fans:   In my last years in legal practice I took a number of appeals to federal court on behalf of mentally ill people wrongly denied Social Security disability benefits by the administrative law judges […]

Yet another in a long line of modest proposals

Wednesday, June 27, 2018

Apparently, the very stable genius tweetedthe following about the Red Hen restaurant, which, of course, was a perfectly civil thing for him to do since he is a Republican, even though it is a lie from start to finish: “The Red Hen Restaurant,” he lied like a spoiled 6-year old, “should focus more on cleaning its […]

Pity the Onion

Tuesday, June 12, 2018

If you frequent the same type of internet sites as me, you have no doubt seen many posts that remark that this or that is “not the Onion”, but is in fact real. It makes you feel a bit sorry for the actual Onion, whose proprietors must be working overtime to come up with things […]

Something fishy here

Thursday, May 24, 2018

A few days ago I drafted a post, but I ultimately decided not to post it, due to the fact that the point I was trying to assert, that Elliot Broidy had been handsomely paid for taking the fall for Trump’s affair with yet another Playboy bunny, which affair had led to an abortion. Here’s […]
