Some good news

Monday, November 29, 2021

I know it’s not much, but it’s the best I can do, good news-wise: It’s hard to recall a former politician who was showered with more free media attention than Chris Christie this month as he peddled his new book, “Republican Rescue.” Invited to appear on a carousel of shows, Christie was all-present as journalists […]

It’s contagious!

Saturday, November 27, 2021

I thought this kind of crazy was confined to Republicans here in the States, but apparently it’s as contagious as the latest COVID variant: A British member of Parliament claimed this week that men are being forced into committing crimes because fictional male characters like James Bond and Doctor Who are being replaced by women. […]

Some things won’t fit in a memory hole

Monday, November 22, 2021

At the dawn of 2020 I made some predictions about the coming year. Some of them have stood the test of time, others have come true, but not in the way I predicted. For instance I predicted that Chuck Shumer and Joe Biden would preserve the filibuster. I didn’t see Joe and Krysten coming. On […]

Is he a grifter, or is he crazy?

Wednesday, November 17, 2021

We learn at Crooks & Liars that Mike Lindell is mad at the Nazis at Fox (his characterization) for not covering his latest fever dream: Mike Lindell went on Steve Bannon’s podcast to piss and moan because the media, not even Faux News, is covering the lawsuit he wants to take to SCOTUS on the […]

Another one bites the dust?

Sunday, November 14, 2021

It would be awful if I were to say that I wouldn’t mind at all if this guy ended up coming home in a box. So I won’t say it.

An easy prediction

Friday, November 12, 2021

The Republicans who voted for the infrastructure bill, a piece of legislation that would have been considered uncontroversial 20 or 30 years ago and at any time in any sane country, are receiving death threats, said death threats being encouraged by their fellow Republicans in Congress. Liz Cheney has been vocal about the need to […]

Where we are headed

Friday, November 12, 2021

I have read about this particular story before, but it is definitely not widely known, and, as the linked article points out, it should be a story that is widely publicized. It demonstrates the increasing predominance of the right in our courts, and the failure of our media to cover abuses perpetrated by both our […]

At the risk of repeating myself…

Tuesday, November 9, 2021

I get about 100 fundraising emails a day. Today I noticed the subject line on one, which read: “The media is not on our side”. It was from a group called No Dem Left Behind and the text went on to acknowledge that the subject line was no news to anyone. The argument put forward […]

Looking on (or for) the bright side

Wednesday, November 3, 2021

Not such a great day yesterday, given the outcome in Virginia, where yet another fascist will assume a governorship. Speaking of which, why is it that Republicans bandy about the term “socialism” (if only it were true) while Democrats shy away from the extremely apt term “fascist”. But I digress. Look at the title, I’m […]
