Why the U.S. is Becoming Unlivable

A) Women’s rights are drying up more quickly than Lake Meade. This process has been catalyzed with Republican support for the kind of misogynistic myths that would warm the heart of Phylis Schlafly. Examples include “women should remain in violent marriages,” and “A rapist should have access to children born from his attack.” Margaret AtwoodContinue reading “Why the U.S. is Becoming Unlivable”

3:10 to I am Legend?

Republicans Dust off their most outrageous slur: https://www.politico.com/news/2022/03/20/republicans-2022-campaigns-00018591 The slur is the acronym “RINO,” or “Republican In Name Only. Frankly, I was expecting the N-Word; or Immigrant;” or the anti-gay “F-Word,” or “Communist,” or practically any hateful word at this point. There is not a caliper accurate enough to measure my indifference to Trump-inspired kvetching.Continue reading “3:10 to I am Legend?”

Self Evidently Speaking….

Two Revelations: A) Putin is an infinitely more dangerous enemy than Osama Bin Laden ever was.

Does my 13 year old realize how morally repugnant these men are?

The Failure of Vlad, Jair, and Donald’s Populism This is worth a read.  I hate to say it, Jair, Don, and Vlad, but you’ll  have to do some  actual work for once, that is, if you want this dissidence  to go away. One can scapegoat until the end of time. But popular support ultimately comesContinue reading “Does my 13 year old realize how morally repugnant these men are?”

**Letters to the Editor II**

“I sometimes wonder about how many papers Trump copied off of other kids at school, how many tests he cheated on, how many big kids he kissed up to, how many smaller kids he bullied.  Other times, the answer is clear:  all of them.
