We just returned from a wonderful trip to Europe, complete with a cruise that afforded us access to some incredible destinations. While I had intended to sit down and start writing yesterday, jet lag had other plans. From exiting the... Continue reading

I believe it is pretty safe to say that the majority of us have been left open mouthed on more than one occasion by the staggeringly brazen behaviors and statements made by the GOP ticket and their supporters. Some even... Continue reading

With each passing day, hell, each passing utterance from the festering fascist, it has become more than obvious our once venerable institutions in the Fourth Estate have given up being nonpartisan. Frankly, they have given up reporting the news, straight,... Continue reading

I have three children from my heterosexual marriage. I shall now pause to allow JD Vance to applaud my achievements, hand me additional ballots for my efforts, and offer me a teaching position. One of my children is transgender. I shall now pause while JD Vance rips all of those... Continue reading

Arlington National Cemetery is a gathering place. Foremost for those who have served and offered their country the highest of sacrifice. It is a gathering place for their families and friends to mourn them, to remember them, to walk among... Continue reading

It's 10pm. Do you know where your children are? That line, traced back to a news broadcast in the 60's and carried forward for decades, is familiar to those of us of a certain age. As you can see in... Continue reading

(Be gentle when you see MAGAts today. That brown around their mouths indicates the sadness of eating shit all night.) Last night's final DNC gathering was a tour de force, as opposed to the RNC's tour de farce. Long before... Continue reading

There is nothing revelatory in that title. Nothing earth shattering or history making. We have seen over and over and over again that just when we think they can go no lower with their lies, their rhetoric, their actions, they... Continue reading

The DNC has been electric and it's only been two nights. Compared to the RNC (whose fundraising numbers just came out for July - - only $31 million, with $33.5 going back out)? It's on life support and the DNC... Continue reading

Last night in a suburb of Phoenix something pretty amazing took place. Glendale, where my parents lived for decades, and where my mother still resides, was home to a campaign event for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz at the Desert... Continue reading

This is Arizona. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz do not arrive for another couple hours yet the place is already packed to the rafters. People are tired of the doom and gloom and threats of Trump and his minions. It's... Continue reading

It was the press conference seen round the world. Laughed at round the world. Laughter not directed solely at the star of the proceedings - a wrecked, decrepit, decomposing pumpkin standing in his equally sad, dark, desperately-in-need-of-updating-and-lots-of-Febreeze golf palace -...

Back in 1981, an eerie set of chords and lyrics filled our radios. Phil Collins, in his first solo release, beguiled us with words that gave birth to all manner of urban myths and a drum interlude that is forever... Continue reading

So it appears that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has gotten the VP nod! 24 years in the National Guard, a former school teacher and football coach, can carve a school bus out of butter. A man who may look like... Continue reading

Our world is a mess. Simple statement of fact. In this country we have a compromised Supreme Court not even hiding the fact they are in the pocket of billionaire gift givers and the MAGAverse. Nazis roam freely and proudly.... Continue reading

Where to even begin? Every 24 hour news cycle brings a cornucopia of rhetorical rubbish and festering stupidity. A Cranksgiving basket overflowing with bigotry, mendacity, deceit, betrayal, cowardice, and flat out lies. It's like Christmas every day. I mean if... Continue reading

Long ago, during the halcyon and hilarious Jon Stewart years on Comedy Central, he coined the term 'Bullshit Mountain' as the home and pile of excrement that constantly poured forth from the GOP and their enablers on FOX. An ever... Continue reading

We're all familiar with that phrase. To talk out one's ass. Defined as to speak with authority on a subject that one doesn't know much about, to exaggerate, or to talk nonsense. We have been inundated with examples of that... Continue reading

Poor James Donald Bowman James David Hamel James David Vance J.D. Vance JD Vance. Seems that not a day goes by where his past doesn't creep out of the couch cushions and bite him in the ass like some long... Continue reading

Ahhhhh, Paris (for these purposes please pronounce as Pair-Ree in your head). History, culture, food, art, landmarks aplenty, and people with an understanding of not just their history, but of the games they are currently hosting. The Olympics date back... Continue reading

Years ago I asked that question. As scandal after scandal, vile rally after vile rally took place, I asked of MAGAts, what would it take to make them open their eyes to what they were supporting? What would it take... Continue reading

Calling the Trump campaign/support brigade a clown car is not exactly history making. Given its endless supply of buffoons, blowhards, and batshit, likening it to a red nose parade is pretty easy. You've got James Donald Bowman James David Hamel... Continue reading

From the beginning JD Vance was a poor pick as a VP running mate for Donald J Diaperload. Laden with derogatory comment after comment about Trump, married to a woman of color, children with Indian names, a book-made-movie riddled with... Continue reading

So it came to pass. I wrote last week that all signs (read: three weeks of constant media story creation, polls paid for by Republicans) pointed to President Biden bowing out of the race by the weekend. That's not magical... Continue reading
