Now more than ever, always look on the bright side

Friday, March 30, 2018

We must honor tradition, and this is a tradition. Each year since I started this blog I have posted this video on Good Friday. In the beginning, I did it, for the most part, to mock religion, a bit, but now it’s mostly to pass on the words, or should I say, lyrics, of wisdom […]

The Democrats should be protecting these kids

Monday, March 26, 2018

I have written many a post bemoaning the inability of the Democrats to speak with one voice, something the Republicans do all the time. There’s another thing the Republicans do all the time: they insist (again with one voice) that the Democrats condemn anyone on the left who says or does anything they can successfully […]

Some more legal musing on Stormy and her pals

Thursday, March 22, 2018

Over at Hullabaloo, digby joins Greg Sargent in speculating that Stormy and Trump’s other accusers may spell real trouble for him. Sargent notes that: As CNN’s Collinson points out, this means Trump may be facing a period of pretrial discovery and possibly a deposition, which “could put Trump in a perilous position. I haven’t seen […]

About that wave…

Sunday, March 18, 2018

There is a lot of optimism these days about a coming Democratic wave in November. Some are even predicting a tsunami: You can use whatever cliches you want: The winds have changed, the tide has turned, the handwriting is on the wall. But there’s a definite blue wave at work. The Pennsylvania race might be […]

Documenting the atrocities

Tuesday, March 13, 2018

What can I add to what’s already been said about the genius’s latest moves. We are watching a fairly rapid shift from an administration with a Nazi center surrounded by an establishment cover to an all Nazi. But I digress before even starting. I’m writing to sound yet another warning about the coming blue wavelet. […]

Two years ago today

Saturday, March 10, 2018

I have been keeping a journal on my Ipad, on and off, for the past two years or so. If there is a phrase that connotes the opposite of “deathless prose”, that’s pretty much what the journal contains. Anyway, the app automatically shows entries from the same calendar date from prior years. Two years ago […]

If gerrymandering doesn’t work…

Saturday, March 10, 2018

I’ve given my own opinion that the Democrats will find a way to lose in November, but the Republicans are leaving nothing to chance, as they never do. Gerrymandering and traditional forms of voter suppression may not be enough, so…: President Trump would be able to dispatch Secret Service agents to polling places nationwide during […]

Really, too funny

Wednesday, March 7, 2018

These are weird times, what with the genius threatening the stability, and perhaps even the existence of the world, but there are things that can still make us laugh. This is one of them: Adult film star Stormy Daniels sued President Donald Trump on Tuesday, alleging that he never signed a nondisclosure agreement that his […]

Memo to NY Times: Words have meanings

Sunday, March 4, 2018

Today the New York Times once again goes into the hinterland, to understand the yahoos that are destroying this country. This time it’s the gun loving yahoos, particularly the ones who just can’t live without their assault weapons, particularly the AR-15, the weapon of choice for mass killers. Well, we’ve gone through this before with […]

Sanity in the strangest places

Thursday, March 1, 2018

Every once in a while people behave rationally in places where you would never expect it. As all of America knows, Amazon has been soliciting bribes to locate a new facility somewhere in our benighted land. Cities and towns throughout America have been competing to see who can throw the most money at Amazon in […]
