Further proof that there is no god

Sunday, June 30, 2019

At least not a kind and loving one, for how could he (I know god shouldn’t be gendered, but on the other hand, I doubt any female would want to be associated with this particular god) be setting the table for the reelection of the man whose sole objective appears to be the destruction of […]

Democrats need to take back the English language

Monday, June 24, 2019

A lot of disparate events over the last few days proving yet again that the Republicans have managed to hijack the English language.

Another in an endless series of modest proposals

Wednesday, June 5, 2019

It appears that William Barr is about to be held in contempt of Congress, but, this being an era in which our judiciary is now overflowing with rightwing ideologues, it is highly likely that it will take years for court battles to enforce the citation to play out, by which time he will either be out […]

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 […]
