The three judge panel of Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously declined to lift the stay of Donald Trump’s executive order banning the entry of Muslims from seven mostly Muslim countries. The Trump Administration’s controversial executive order to limit travel from seven Muslim majority countries suffered a major setback on Thursday after a panel of …

French Toast Day in the Northeast

Yesterday, it felt like spring: sunny and temperatures in the 60’s. This morning, a foot of snow. The northeast is getting slammed with a fast moving snow storm with high winds, white out conditions and up to 3 inches of accumulation an hour. Good day to stay home if you can. If you can’t, be …

Institutional Democrats

I think I’ve made it clear enough that I think Republicans are reprehensible representatives of the bigoted, misogynous, rascist authoritarians that make up the 30% of the United States population who think the War Against Slavery was a War of Northern Aggression, and greedy parasitic Plutocrats that feel dispossessed and robbed now that that it’s …

Sausage Grinder of Snark (Blast from the Past)

As Stephen says, sometimes the Comedy Train has left the Station and these tired Hobo legs didn’t catch the caboose. Tonight I have reached back for 2 recent clips (though not from the most recent show, yesterday). ‘On Notice’ is highlighted because I always liked that bit even when Top Gear stole it; and also …

Why Networks Should All Uninvite Kellyanne Conway

It seems that Kellyanne “Con Job” Conway has spouted one too many alternative facts for CNN after she totally blew any remaining credibility she might have had over the repeated claim that there was a terrorist massacre in Bowling Green, Kentucky that the media didn’t report. The reason they didn’t report it was that it …
