I had to wait a couple of days to write about the Uvalde slaughter of children and teachers. I had to wait because I was so angry. Angry that, again, we are going through the same set of senseless deaths. Angry that this happened while they were still burying victims from Buffalo’s mass shooting at… Continue reading Again, and again, and again…..the cycle never ends.

An excellent summation.
Of the damage to the American Republic that the Roberts Court has accomplished in the last 20 years. As one who is old enough to remember Thurgood Marshall on the Court as well as many others, the current crop of conservative Justices, brought to you by the slime at The Federalist Society, are weaklings in… Continue reading An excellent summation.
The nameless servants of evil ( Part 2)
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)
The nameless servants of evil (Part One)
I have not been able to post for the last two months for many reasons. It’s been a hard couple of months. Between making a pilgrimage back to the sacred soil of my Alma Mater and then on to Shopping Mall – which, thanks to both of them being unmasked hell holes – gave me… Continue reading The nameless servants of evil (Part One)
A rage worth having and expressing.
It certainly has been an unexpected first three months of the year so far. A senseless war in Ukraine with conservatives cheering on the wrong side for a great while, rising gas prices – while refusing to blame the robber barons of the oil companies, and the stock market getting schwacked by those two things… Continue reading A rage worth having and expressing.
The great surrender
When the story of this third decade of the 21st century is told ( if it ever will be), the level of the United States’ response to a worldwide pandemic will stand out as one of its worst failures. The laggard and selfish response of a significant industrialized power, who had at its disposal, great… Continue reading The great surrender
Stephen Colbert nails it.
By highlighting the absurdity of the GOP attempts to gaslight the nation: Over at Trump’s propaganda network, they appear pretty unhappy about it. Gutfield is terrible. Kudos, however, to Betty Cracker for finding this and reporting on it. I dislike the expression “a hit dog will holler” because no one should hit dogs. But boy… Continue reading Stephen Colbert nails it.
A year later and the danger still lurks close by
It has been a year since the unwarranted and thoroughly evil insurrection against the Capitol occurred. “A mob breaking windows, kicking in doors, breaching the Capitol. American flags on poles being used as weapons, as spears. Fire extinguishers being thrown at the heads of police officers. A crowd that professes their love for law enforcement… Continue reading A year later and the danger still lurks close by
A good summary of the current predicament.
It’s been some week, hasn’t it? What with omicron showing up in the US, Japan banning all travel for foreigners – something I happen to agree with – the Supreme Court poised to strike down Roe v Wade and lest we forget, another senseless school shooting, it’s been a depressing week all around. A guy… Continue reading A good summary of the current predicament.
The paradox of low expectations.
I spent yesterday working on the site after we experienced a Denial of Service attack on Wednesday and Thursday. I’ve pretty well isolated where I think it came from and have taken proactive steps “under the hood” to keep it from happening again. Nevertheless, I am flattered that my modest piece of the internet made… Continue reading The paradox of low expectations.
