At what point does typical American selfishness become callous and premeditated negligence? That’s the question the New Yorker posed last month when it published one of its famous long articles on the struggle of the city council in Minot, North Dakota, to implement a commonsense precaution against COVID, a mask

The sun rises on a bright new day.
This is a day I have looked forward to for four very long years. I woke up at 5 AM this morning and in the opposite of my normal morning routine got up very quickly. Today was the end of one of the darkest chapters in American history. And the

Today is President Shitgibbon’s last full day in office. He is expected to pardon over 100 miscreants, liars, cheats, and various other criminals who are reflected in his horrible existence. In the last 48 hours, he has continued to do his level best to lay landmines and other booby traps

The mission of this Allied Force was accomplished at 11:25 EST, 07 November 2020. It’s been four LONG years. Years of misery and anger.

I had planned to write some more about my trip. But as has so often been the case this year and last-I woke up to yet another incident of domestic terrorism. The worst mass shooting yet in America. Yet another disgusting commentary on America’s inability to better itself as a

June 23rd this year is a big day. Its a big day because the United Kingdom is about to potentially make a really stupid decision and leave the EU. ( A really stupid decision). It’s also a day that I made a really stupid personal decision and it set the

I woke up this morning to see articles blaming the current situation on Iraq-on our failure to leave troops there. John McCain is living up to his reputation of never meeting a war he did not want Americans to fight. They are trotting out the “I told you so” brigades

"The issue at Tailhook is not that we took a few liberties with our female party guests. We did." Just have to do one more Petraeus post. And its not to condemn him for slicing off what appears to be a fine hunk of tuna. I don't condemn him for
