A bit about Biden

Thursday, April 27, 2023

It’s my understanding that Joe Biden isn’t terribly popular. He is with me, though in all truth in a perfect world I’d be happy if he was replaced by someone a lot younger, but given current realities, he is our bulwark against fascism, and, give him credit, he seems to understand that. He’s done better […]

Good news today

Monday, April 24, 2023

So, Tucker Carlson has been fired by Fox. It truly couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. I’ve read all kinds of speculation about why Fox canned him, with the weight of the evidence seeming to be that he documented his hypocrisy in texts and emails, which included criticisms of Fox management for not consistently lying […]

It takes all kinds

Sunday, April 23, 2023

I’ve never been a big Twitter fan (or a fan at all), and I deleted my hardly used account shortly after Elon Musk took over. Still, I can’t avoid reading about his serial displays of ineptitude as he continues to do his best to destroy the platform. This article at Above the Law discusses the […]

What is a centrist?

Tuesday, April 18, 2023

This article over at Hullabaloo got me thinking about the term “centrist” as it is used in the media. The article is about Joe Lieberman’s “No Labels” group, which is in the process of trying to put together a presidential ticket in 2024. A funny thing about centrists is that they never tell you what […]

Another modest proposal

Saturday, April 15, 2023

Now that we have evidence that Clarence Thomas has committed a crime by failing to report the “sale” of his house to his rich benefactor, who proceeded to let Clarence’s Mom continue to live there (rent free I’m sure) while paying for improvements to the place and the property taxes, it would seem that Clarence […]

Fellow alum makes good

Tuesday, April 11, 2023

I am quite proud of the fact that Justin Pearson, one of the two legislators thrown out of the Tennessee legislature, apparently for the crime of being black, is a fellow alum of Bowdoin College, as is Deray McKesson, a well known Black Lives Matter activist. Speaking of Black Lives Matter, I seem to recall […]

A trip down memory lane

Saturday, April 8, 2023

The recent news about Clarence Thomas’s corruption (I assume the reader will know of what I speak, so no link) reminded me of something that happened many years ago. It seems there was a time when Republicans cared about the appearance of financial impropriety on the part of a Supreme Court justice, even when there […]

It’s Good Friday again

Friday, April 7, 2023

Almost forgot to keep up the tradition. This year I am going to dedicate this video to a certain very stable genius whose followers keep comparing him to Brian by claiming he’s being crucified. Maybe he should follow Eric Idle’s advice instead of constantly confessing to his crimes on his failing twitter rip-off. As to […]

Nothing wrong with a “politically motivated” prosecution if the defendant is guilty

Wednesday, April 5, 2023

One of the Republican talking points about the indictment of a certain very stable genius is that the prosecution is “politically motivated”. I won’t belabor the obvious point that this is rich coming from a party that has called for the prosecution of its political opponents (“lock her up”, “Hunter’s laptop”, etc.) on a routine […]

Time to check out the diners

Sunday, April 2, 2023

There’s been a lot of breathless bloviating by our media about how unprecedented and foreboding it is to have an ex-president indicated indicted, though I don’t recall such bloviation when an obvious career criminal was elected in the first place. We have been and will be treated to a lot of reaction from the genius’s […]
