If God is indeed just, there is a special place in hell reserved for Grover Norquist and his philosophy of “drowning government in a bathtub”. Unfortunately, we know the divine entity plays favorites, so Norquist probably got rich selling stocks weeks ago as some of his Congressional friends did. For those who have been in… Continue reading A medieval solution

Meaning it really does not matter that the COVID-19 virus started in China. Sure it makes MAGA hacks feel better thinking that blaming China will change the net effects of Nero’s Trump’s fiddling while the rest of the world burned. Blame China all you want. Post memes saying China Lied, People Died ( particularly ironic… Continue reading No longer relevant
It is not about politics anymore and you should not pretend it is.
Here at Far East Cynic HQ, we have made no secret of the fact that we loathe Donald Trump with the heat of supernova and wish him nothing but ill will. I’ve been writing about how dangerous he is since the day he and the mail order bride wife came down the escalator from hell… Continue reading It is not about politics anymore and you should not pretend it is.
Not a design flaw, but blatant misuse.
The other day, I had to the misfortune to read on another corner of the interwebs, the following bit of incredible stupidity. Referring to this article, describing Trump’s blatant abuse of executive power by claiming Executive Privilege on the entire Mueller report, the asshole in question had this to say: I see it as him… Continue reading Not a design flaw, but blatant misuse.
Descent into Darkness, part 1
I have not been posting much this week because I have been watching episodes of The Man in the High Castle. Without giving away too much of the plot, Season 3 is finding the story going more to the science fiction roots that Phillip K. Dick laid for it. That’s both a good and a… Continue reading Descent into Darkness, part 1
Still crazy, after a couple of years.
That would be Scott Adams. Aging artist of the Dilbert comic strip who has turned into a brain-dead slug and all around reprehensible person. At least we can take solace in the fact that more and more people are coming to understand how loathsome he is, as both a political prognosticator and as a human being. Al Capp… Continue reading Still crazy, after a couple of years.
273rd verse same as the first.
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 nation. Once again, it’s time… Continue reading 273rd verse same as the first.
Standing at the abyss…………
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 especially as we have hordes of less than rational people screaming about e-mails again and again. All the while ignoring the really awful and totalitarian things of the man… Continue reading Standing at the abyss…………
Funeral for a friend
I suffered the loss of a good friend last night. The United Kingdom ( May 1, 1707-June 23rd, 2016), America’s mother country, the source of US traditions and many of our values , a country that holds a special place in my heart, committed suicide last night. It was 409 years old. The corpse is still twitching… Continue reading Funeral for a friend
Pour yourself a drink.
And watch ALL of this interview with Jon Stewart. It is awesome-especially his well crafted dissection of the talking yam, Donald Trump, and the worthless souls who support him. In fact pour yourself two drinks-and watch the whole thing:
