As a part of the conference I am hosting I had to go to a social event last night. After a couple of large hefeweizens, a member of our group brought up the subject of the demon that is Donald Trump. Like throwing chum in the water, I took the

Not happy with the monster they created.
Or sometimes, a horse just deserves a beating. A vile and rather disturbing comment deserves a response. It is kind of funny to hear the responses from all the so-called “principled conservatives” today, who continue, even when it has been proven to be a falsehood, to believe that there was

If you have been following my sparse postings lately ( and judging by the hit counter, you haven’t) you will know that I am no fan of the junior Senator from the less than great state of Texas, Ted Cruz. In my lifetime, I have seldom seem an individual more

After almost 24 hours of travel back from the Whining States of America, I am back in definitely not sunny Germany. A week in Shopping Mall and then a week out west. The second week was very frustrating from a work standpoint and makes me very, very, uncertain as to

You know Ted Cruz fucked up when he gives Donald Trump, that Donald Trump, a chance to be elegant. I’m no big fan of New York City, but Cruz probably wishes he had not broken out the dog whistles: Explanation to be found over at Balloon-Juice: During Thursday night’s debate,

Over at Balloon Juice, Annie Laurie has found this interesting video that analyzes the way Donald Trump uses language and how he organizes his thoughts. Bottom line: Because Trump is a salesman more than a politician, he is focused on closing the deal and creating a sense of urgency to buy his

Well, its day two on the other side of the Atlantic. Waking up in an upper hotel floor and having to make myself ready to go work and not having the usual things around. In an acknowledgment to advancing years, I went to bed last night at 10:40 pm. My

I wanted to provide some commentary on the Israeli election. I think it’s needed-especially when you read the trash that passes for informed commentary in American outlets. Right wing outlets are crowing about the election as a “rebuke” for President Obama and they are calling it a “landslide” election for
