Looking backward

Saturday, October 19, 2019

I have mentioned in the past that I am keeping a journal on my Ipad. As a work of literature it ranks below anything I can think of, with the possible exception of Trump’s recent letter to Erdogan. But I try, every day, to put something up about developments related to the stable genius, and […]

The Death of Irony

Thursday, October 17, 2019

A long, long time ago..I can still remember..I embarrassed myself on this blog by misquoting Shakespeare, for I asserted that someone was hung by his own petard, when he should have been hoist by his own petard, whatever a petard happens to be. Today I risk misusing a word again, for is irony the right word in this context? Anyway, I’m […]

No chess player he

Friday, October 4, 2019

I believe I’ve noted in the past that the genius is no chess player, being totally incapable of thinking more than one move ahead. Nothing proves this more than his relentless attempts to destroy Joe Biden, who he obviously sees as his probable opponent in 2020, because that’s what he’s told by Fox News and/or […]

Fake News is a real thing sometimes

Wednesday, July 17, 2019

This has happened before, and it supports something the genius has been saying: there’s a lot of fake news out there. The fact is that most of the fake news supports him. Yesterday CNN had a panel of Texas female Republican. They were presented as representative of 2016 Texas females who voted for Trump. Nothing […]

Hail Donald!

Tuesday, June 4, 2019

This is something that has occurred to me on numerous occasions. It occurred to me again as I read about the toddler in chief making an idiot of himself in England. It now appears more likely than not that future historians (history is written by the winners, after all) will give the genius credit for […]

Mueller Time

Wednesday, May 29, 2019

This morning I got an email from my wife, who was at work, telling me about the upcoming Mueller appearance, and suggesting I watch it. My first reaction was negative, as I told her I was afraid he was going to cop out, by which I meant that he would simply repeat what we already […]

Was it always thus?

Wednesday, May 8, 2019

Is it just me, or do most non-Fox viewers feel this way? Yesterday the New York Times released a story about the genius’s tax returns from the eighties. Turns out that he lost billions of dollars and the returns emit a strong odor of fraud. I’m not saying it’s not worth reporting, but if you’d […]

The genius plots strategy

Friday, March 29, 2019

Trump is apparently planning to campaign in 2020 by trumpeting the Barr letter, which no one other than the brain dead (fortunately still not a majority in the country) accepts as valid. A reliable barometer of Trump’s moods, Giuliani offered a glimpse into the future. Mueller might be done with his investigation, but Trump and company are […]

You can stop if you’ve read this same rant elsewhere

Monday, March 25, 2019

I realize that everything I’m about to say has been said ad nauseum, but inasmuch as this is my blog and no one has to read it if they don’t want, I will proceed to vent. First, lets stipulate that when people read newspapers, they often just scan the headlines, or read the first couple […]

What if Obama had done this, part (insert high number here)

Monday, March 11, 2019

As Driftglass is wont to say, “it’s a funny old world”.  As all of the internet knows, the genius recently referred to Apple CEO Tim Cook as “Tim Apple”. He is now busily lying about the fact, first claiming he said “Tim Cook of Apple”, a lie even his corrupt donors couldn’t swallow. Then he changed his […]
