Hopefully, you had a chance to read my latest post before this one about how the major machinery of our US government is broken. If you have not, please go here first, then come back and read this post. I’ll wait. Today in the sham that is passing for Senatorial

The major machinery is broken
It’s been a hell of a month for the land of my birth. Not in a good way, either, what with the death of RBG, Trump’s disastrous debate performance, the utter hypocrisy of the GOP’s stand on a Supreme Court nominee – coupled with the nomination of an unqualified religious
Continue readingDevastating news
I personally have not been so devastated as I was when I read this news: Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dies at age 87. I was in the doctor’s office today when I read it – I literally started crying in my chair. I had to work to compose

So here we are again. It’s been 19 years since that fateful day in September of 2001. I remember exactly where I was that day. I had been out and about and had just returned to the BOQ where I was living then. The S.O. called me and told me

I’m off today and looking forward to chasing the little white ball across the grass. My game still sucks – but it does so more consistently now. This has been quite a week for American democracy. To start with, the President of the United States just came out and basically

Donald Trump murdered Herman Cain yesterday. “No, he didn’t!!” you say. “He died of COVID-19. He was not murdered.“ Really? Who browbeat people into supporting the extraordinary level of ignorance regarding this disease that Trump has fostered for over six months? Who decided to hold a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma,

From time to time, I love to use this quote from the movie, I Robot: In my Facebook memories, today came a post from 2016, which I posted during the Republican National Convention. In it I shared, some words from my favorite political writer Charles Pierce, who recognized what so
