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 […]

Who could have guessed that Biden would be uninspiring?

Tuesday, May 28, 2019

Let me start by saying that I would vote for anyone with a D after his or her name in the 2020 presidential race. I desperately want us to win. In future posts, I may not so preface, but it should always be assumed. That being said, I tremble in fear at the thought of […]

We could use this here

Saturday, May 25, 2019

The British Labour Party suffers from some of the same defects as its American cousin, the Democrats. There is a cadre of right wing alleged Labourites holding it back, and it is easily intimidated by right wing bullshit. But they’re not all like that. I saw this video on Crooks & Liars and I felt I had […]

Meanwhile, as always, under the radar…

Monday, May 20, 2019

One of the many unfortunate side effects of the blatant criminality emanating from the White House and Attorney General is the fact that the regular run of the mill corruption that is the hallmark of this administration goes largely unremarked. One of the most corrupt of our regulators is Ajit Pai, the FCC Chair. Today […]

Joe Biden was in a coma for eight years

Wednesday, May 15, 2019

If there were a god I would be imploring him/her to save us from this man: In New Hampshire, Joe Biden predicts that once President Trump is out of office, Republicans will have “an epiphany” and work with Democrats toward consensus. — Sahil Kapur (@sahilkapur) May 14, 2019 The Republicans thrive in the minority, but only […]

No one could have predicted this!

Monday, May 13, 2019

Boy, this is a shocker. No one could have predicted it: A source close to the Florida man who raised over $22 million on GoFundMe in the “We The People Will Build the Wall” campaign just revealed today that the money has been diverted to pay for a ‘million dollar’ yacht and high-flying lifestyle. Well, maybe […]

Yet another Open Letter to the New London Day

Monday, May 13, 2019

I’m glad to see that the Day is maintaining its policy of balancing each liberal column it runs with one (or more) by a conservative. After all, it’s been a few weeks since you hired right wing nutcase Lee Elci. Failed and embittered ex-legislator John Scott’s column in this morning’s paper (can’t seem to bring […]

An open letter to the New London Day

Friday, May 10, 2019

The Day has, for reasons the rational among us cannot fathom, repeatedly endorsed Heather Somers for any political office for which she happens to hanker. Curiously, however, the Day never bothers to cover what Ms. Somers happens to do in the course of her official duties. Wait, let me correct myself. The Day slavishly passes […]

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 […]

Shape of Things to Come

Thursday, May 2, 2019

This is interesting, I think, and bodes poorly for the Democratic presidential candidate, whoever it may be. In today’s New York Times (the paper version), right next to the two articles about the Barr hearings, neither of which headlines the fact that he lied his way through his testimony, is an article about Joe Biden. […]
