One of the trite amorphisms used by conservatives and others repeatedly is, ” We are not a democracy; we are a Republic.” As if the two terms are mutually exclusive when they are meant to be used together. The United States is a Constitutional Democratic Republic with its governing officials chosen through various democratic processes.… Continue reading The nameless servants of evil ( Part 2)

A picture is worth a thousand words.
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a festive holiday season, well, at least as joyful as one could be in the shadow of the continuing disaster that is COVID and the unacceptable US response to it. Just a reminder of a couple of current facts: Even if Omicron is milder, milder is a relative… Continue reading A picture is worth a thousand words.
The grieving process is continuing….and the only proper response to our Red Hat wearing citizens.
It has been well over 7 weeks since I have had the will to put my hand to keyboard and write anything of significance. Sure, I’ve been attacking the usual idiots on Twitter and also been observing the closet fascists from my alma mater trying to wreak their havoc, but on the whole, watching the… Continue reading The grieving process is continuing….and the only proper response to our Red Hat wearing citizens.
Not liking a comparison does not mean that the comparison is incorrect
A quick post on the recent stunt by Florida’s legislature and deadly governor Ron DeSantis. Last June, I wrote a post about how today’s Republican party proves its resemblance to the apartheid government every day. In it, I noted, “What is also very much like South Africa, is the attempt by Trump and his lackeys… Continue reading Not liking a comparison does not mean that the comparison is incorrect
The price is not right.
It’s Golden Week in Japan. That succession of holidays strung together designed to encourage Japanese citizens to go somewhere and spend some of their hard-earned yen. In Japan, May 1st is not a holiday, but many people take it off, and to the rest of the civilized world is Labor Day. Of course, in the… Continue reading The price is not right.
The good news and the bad news ( Part 1)
I’ve been holding off posting anything because I wanted to watch the outcome of Trump’s efforts to pull off a coup de etat following the election. I was anxious and am still worried that Trump would try to steal the election and usurp the results to ensure he stays in power. Surprisingly, state officials have… Continue reading The good news and the bad news ( Part 1)
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.
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
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…………
The four horsemen are saddling up
The four horsemen of the apocalypse that is. As if having Donald Trump on a presidential ballot were not proof enough the Anti-Christ is alive and walking among us, now comes a day when I actually agree with a Republican Congressman from Mississippi. Repent! The hour of judgment is at hand! Long time readers here will… Continue reading The four horsemen are saddling up
