Throwball Divisional Playoffs: Whoever at Patsies
Ok, it’s the Texans, doesn’t make any difference. This game will be so boring that it’s not worth watching unless you live in New England. Think I’ll nap.

Throwball Divisional Playoffs: Seahawks at Falcons
This will hopefully be the first of a string of upsets in this round. My picks are the Seahawks, the Patsies (yeah I hate ’em, but I hate the Texans more), the Steelers (surprisingly impressive), and the Packers for obvious and frequently articulated reasons. The Seahawks are not just TMC’s preference, they beat the Falcons …

A Catalog Of Fail
Some people may think I go a little lighter on Hillary than Barack. If I seem so it’s purely by intention. You see, we’ll never know what a Hillary Presidency would have looked like. It’s possible she’s the closet liberal her supporters claim. It could be that her war hawk foreign policy compensates for her …

Fake Populism
Rule #1 about Populism- It is Popular. Rule #2 about Populism- There is no Rule #2. It is an incontrovertible fact that nearly 3 Million more U.S. citizens voted for Hillary Clinton than The Donald which makes her more popular, right? It is equally true that Trump won the smallest Electoral College margin in recent …

So you want Cory Booker?
Next to Chuck Schumer and Diane Feinstein it’s arguable that the Democrat who most carries the New Democrat/DLC/Blue Dog Neo Liberal banner is Cory Booker, much floated by the equally Neo Liberal Legacy Media and D.C. Versailles Villagers as a potential presidential contender in 2020. Because, frankly, he’s African-American and they think a “Black” candidate …

My Personal Echo Chamber
The most gratifying thing about writing, especially out here on the fringes of Stars Hollow, is when your themes get picked up by people who have a little more personal credibility than you do. I decided very early in my career to eshew any claim to authority and post pseudonymously, relying instead on my ability …

Eh, not so much.
There are some who consider Barack Obama a “progressive”. Well, it depends on what the word “is” means. I gladly admit that in 2008 I voted for him, both Primary and General, because I was under the impression that he was more liberal than Hillary and better than John McCain. I may have been mistaken …
