Genius!
Perhaps I finally understand Ron DeSantis’ brilliance. He is going to permit Florida’s department of Transportation to study the feasibility of using phosphogypsum as a paving material for Florida roads. Phosphogypsum is a byproduct of producing one type of fertilizer. As phosphogymsum decays, it produces radon, a radioactive gas that causes cancer. https://www.npr.org/2023/05/09/1174789570/florida-roads-radioactive-paving-phosphogypsum. Although thisContinue reading “Genius!”
Sorry, Folks
Please, for the love of all that is good, stop trying to cobble this idiot situation into a romantic narrative. Stockton Rush was not an “explorer” or an “Unalloyed Villain.” He was just a Darwin Awards winner with a lot of money. The fact that there have been countless articles about this foolish incident whenContinue reading “Sorry, Folks”
Trump and his Ilk
He is the Id of the American White Male. This group of people see how Black, Latino, Asian, Gay, non-Christian, and female people are so much more VISIBLE than they were in the 1950’s. That’s it.

Freedom Caucus loses its only copy of Cliffs Notes for 7th Grade Civics (Again)
The bar for petty, juvenile behavior has once again been lowered by House extremist Republicans who joined with Democrats to block a bill intended to protect gas stoves. This was a reaction to the debt ceiling deal, which despite all the evidence to the contrary was merely a deal to pay off the country’s debtsContinue reading “Freedom Caucus loses its only copy of Cliffs Notes for 7th Grade Civics (Again)”

Portrait of What’s Missing In this Country
Although this article ( https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/georgia-gun-shop-owner-shutters-store-mass-shootings-targeting-childre-rcna87116 ) was from a major news network, I haven’t heard much about it in any other media. A Georgia gun shop owner grew tired of children getting murdered or injured by guns, and feared what could be done with a firearm he sold. He maintains his support of the SecondContinue reading “Portrait of What’s Missing In this Country”
If We Just Take Their Bullsh*t…
When the Republican Fear Manufacturing Commission declares with zero evidence that gay people and drag queens are all exclusively responsible for child molestation in this country and we say nothing…independents will start to believe them. Moreover, saying nothing officially makes us all look like feeble pushovers. We have to give it back to them andContinue reading “If We Just Take Their Bullsh*t…”
