Media Morons
I am certainly not one of those who cry bitter tears that The Donald is destroying the credibility of our respected and reliable News Media. I don’t respect them at all and they are reliable only in their bootlicking obsequious sycophancy. Charles P. Pierce, a man with a natural thesaurus as good as my own, …

The Big Brexit Fight
There is certainly a Left, democratic case to be made against the European Union as currently constituted and I find ‘Leave’ sentiment among Labour Party members and supporters pretty justifiable using those arguments. On the other hand Brexit endorsement among Conservatives seems based on chauvinism, xenophobia, and bigotry as well as a massive misunderstanding of …

Not Harvey
Yes, big storm. Pay attention to that. Think carefully, Dowd. Didn’t you know somebody, sometime, someplace by the name of Harvey? Didn’t you ever know anybody by that name? No, no, not one, Doctor.

Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei
I almost think Trump could have gotten away with it if it hadn’t been for the Nazis. There are a lot of Bigots, Racists, and Misogynists in this country and, you know, they actually agree that Blacks, Latinos, Women, LGBT people, Jews are inferior and it’s ok to persecute and discriminate against them. It’s not …

Eclipse
There is no dark side of the Moon really. As a matter of fact it’s all dark. Astronomical events are rarely as spectacular as you imagine. For one thing they happen very, very slooowly, so you have to have a lot of patience. Another thing is that atmospheric conditions are seldom ideal, there’s a reason …

Many, Many Sides
Rows and flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere, I’ve looked at clouds that way. But now they only block the sun, They rain and snow on everyone So many things I would have done, But clouds got in my way. I’ve looked at clouds from …

Republicans Want To Murder You
One of the characteristics of Fascist, Despotic Movements (and Criminal Enterprises for that matter) is that dissent is punishable by death. No due process required. Note that the legislators proposing these bills are all Republicans. The Republicans who want to legalize running over protesters By Catherine Rampell, Washington Post August 17, 2017 This year, Republican …
