It’s like a foreign language

One thing that is truly depressing about our current era is that it is virtually impossible to have a conversation anymore about issues of national importance. To take a position on something is to invite immediate attack and its become just about impossible to hold a semi literate conversation in a bar or other such… Continue reading It’s like a foreign language

Pouring gasoline on an open fire.

So, it would appear a portion of America really wants to prove to the rest of the world how ignorant they really are. Donald Trump won Nevada. Yet another shameful moment that is the United States election of 2016. Now the media is all over Mr. Trump, calling him unstoppable. Which is interesting since he… Continue reading Pouring gasoline on an open fire.

The madness is spreading…….

 I was a Republican for a very long time. Over 26 years to be exact. But the party I supported was the party that tried actually to improve the lot of average Americans in many ways. The Republican Party used to be a center-right party, conservative but mainstream. Now it’s the home of extreme views. The… Continue reading The madness is spreading…….

The Zombie Eyed Granny Starver, hard at work

Yesterday afternoon, the Devil's apprentice himself, Paul Ryan ( Worthless Cocksucker-WI) and his Democratic counterpart Mrs Landingham (H/t to Charles Pierce for the term) announced they had reached a budget deal. Some deal. Rather than go for the straightforward approach of repealing the rest of the Bush tax cuts and lifting the cap on Social… Continue reading The Zombie Eyed Granny Starver, hard at work

“My country is a horror show.”

He points out very eloquently a theme that the Pope and others have been highlighting recently, namely that income inequality is dangerous  and if we don't do something about it, we are risking… Continue reading “My country is a horror show.”

The Pope gets it.

I'm liking Pope Francis more and more each day. He is doing what Pope Palpatine did not, and for that matter what Saint John Paul II seemed unable to do either when he was Pope. Namely highlighting the societal trends that at odds with church teachings-and using the bully pulpit ( and the real pulpit… Continue reading The Pope gets it.

And people wonder why they hate them.

You can thank my worthless excuse for a Representative, the not so honorable Mo Brooks, for this lovely bit of stock advice:   Having spent two hours talking to House Republicans, my expert investment advice is: Short everything — daveweigel (@daveweigel) October 15, 2013 Please go die in a fire.

I’m tired of hearing about the children……

In this debt fight nonsense, the deficit scolds continue to say "its for the children". Whenever I hear that what I want to reply is something profane-and with good reason. The children lose no matter what, if the cruel and inhumane policy prescriptions are carried out. What the arrogant and pompous preachers of the deficit… Continue reading I’m tired of hearing about the children……

What he said.

Congress imposed a government shutdown? Fuck you, pay me. Oh, had a fire? Fuck you, pay me. The place got hit by lightning? Fuck you, pay me.   ( All posts will start with this until the shutdown is over).   The President summed up the issues at play in this shutdown pretty well yesterday. Its worth listening to his… Continue reading What he said.
