Both Siderism to the 10th power

Monday, February 27, 2023

Any regular readers of this blog, should they exist, know that I’m a big fan of Driftglass, who has spent years document bothsiderism and the attendant atrocities. It’s a shame that he isn’t aware of today’s New London Day, which has once again bent over backward to so far to be “fair and balanced” it […]

Book report

Friday, February 17, 2023

I’m currently reading Myth America, a collection of essays edited by Kevin Kruse and Julian Zelizer. I am informed by the cover image on my e-reader that it is or was a New York Times bestseller, a fact of which I was unaware, in part because we can no longer get home delivery of the […]

Today’s rant

Tuesday, February 7, 2023

As this is my blog I have every right to gripe endlessly about certain subjects. Today I’m combining one old gripe with one I don’t think I’ve ever bloviated about before. First up, yet another gripe about the inability of Democrats to get their message across. What led to this was this article at the […]

Judicial Intellectual Dishonesty (Who would think!)

Saturday, February 4, 2023

Just before he died at the hands of someone who should never have had a gun, John Lennon gave an interview to Playboy, in which he asserted that “everything is the opposite of what it is, isn’t it”. I won’t go into details on Lennon’s thinking or reasoning, but it looks like right wing judges […]
