I have not slept much in the last couple of days. That comes with repeatedly waking up and hoping that Pennsylvania has been called for Biden and we can send the orange monster on his way to perdition. However I don’t think that is going to happen today and I have to take the S.O.… Continue reading Musings on the edge of disaster

And so, once again we are standing at the abyss……..
I wrote this post 4 years ago on the eve of the election. It’s truly frightening that we are here again. Nothing has really changed- and it’s worth re-reading. That’s where the land of my birth is today. Remember this scene from the end of the movie, Wall Street? That’s a great thought for 2016… Continue reading And so, once again we are standing at the abyss……..
There can be no redemption for this.
A worthless man, you know very little about, achieved his long-stated goal of destroying the United States tonight. That man is Leonard Leo, former head of the Federalist Society: Leonard Leo is on the brink of achieving the goal he has been working toward for decades: a lasting conservative supermajority on the Supreme Court. Almost comically shadowy… Continue reading There can be no redemption for this.
It’s broken all right – they don’t even try to pretend anymore.
Hopefully, you had a chance to read my latest post before this one about how the major machinery of our US government is broken. If you have not, please go here first, then come back and read this post. I’ll wait. Today in the sham that is passing for Senatorial due diligence came a solitary… Continue reading It’s broken all right – they don’t even try to pretend anymore.
The major machinery is broken
It’s been a hell of a month for the land of my birth. Not in a good way, either, what with the death of RBG, Trump’s disastrous debate performance, the utter hypocrisy of the GOP’s stand on a Supreme Court nominee – coupled with the nomination of an unqualified religious freak to the position -followed… Continue reading The major machinery is broken
Of course, he said it
I am a reader of Duffleblog, and in today’s topsy turvy world, while they are supposed to be satire – they approach the truth to a much closer degree than they care to admit. You should know I am talking about the story in The Atlantic where Jeffery Goldberg reminded us, yet again, what an… Continue reading Of course, he said it
Shooting lots of people on 5th Avenue
Donald Trump once said that he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th avenue in New York, and it would not affect his support one bit. The last four years have proved that assertion depressingly true – which is a tribute to the overall stupidity of the American people as a whole. It’s also… Continue reading Shooting lots of people on 5th Avenue
A good life……stolen
Donald Trump murdered Herman Cain yesterday. “No, he didn’t!!” you say. “He died of COVID-19. He was not murdered.“ Really? Who browbeat people into supporting the extraordinary level of ignorance regarding this disease that Trump has fostered for over six months? Who decided to hold a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, over the objections of common… Continue reading A good life……stolen
I would have preferred not to be right. The painful flash of memory
From time to time, I love to use this quote from the movie, I Robot: In my Facebook memories, today came a post from 2016, which I posted during the Republican National Convention. In it I shared, some words from my favorite political writer Charles Pierce, who recognized what so many failed to, just how… Continue reading I would have preferred not to be right.
