106 treasonous Republican members of the House of Representatives went on the official Congressional Record on Thursday, willfully taking a public shit on the Constitution by siding with the delusional, defeated Presidential poser in his bid to discard the result of the 2020 election. They are in grave violation of…
Ponder this. There are people, thousands of people, languishing in American prisons for offenses, though illegal and punishable by some legislated statute or other, that are neither dangerous to nor a remedy for their effect on society. Many, many, many should never have been prosecuted. Many more should have been…
Well, Thanksgiving…right? In spite of the piled-on horrors of pandemic, poverty and politics, (alliteration’s a bitch), even this curmudgeonly correspondent, (see?), is able to make a substantial list of reasons to be thankful. Yet, by my count, we’re 362 days away from what will be, if history holds true, my…
Abe Lincoln was not completely accurate, if, in fact, his ‘fooling the people’ quote is even something that he said at all. If he did, I guess I can give him a pass based on the limited flow of information in the mid nineteenth century. Perhaps he was using a…
Don’t breathe easy yet. Have you noticed that the LOSER of the general election, although unquestionably ‘lame’ and poetically akin to ‘duck’, has no plan to vacate his office; the titled one or the cozy, blimp-shaped oval one. He has begun to systematically clean house of anyone who has not…
[I will not gloat…I will not gloat…I will not gloat…] Americans cherish their buzzwords, freedom, liberty, democracy, equality are liberally bandied about, often with little or no attention to proper usage or intent. Since the crafting of the very colorful language of the Declaration of Independence and the painstaking writing,…
I’ve never been much of a wisher. For nearly seventy years, I blasphemed the sacred birthday candle ritual, first, by revealing my desire against Robert’s Rules or the Magna Carta or Declaration of Independence, (I’m sure it’s written down in some very important document), mandate for sworn secrecy, and second,…
As retorts go, “Who Cares?”, is an inexplicable, early-learned, nearly universal mainstay of our otherwise varied and nuanced lexicons. In childhood, it’s often the last-ditch non-sequitur when caught red-handed and develops through adolescence and adulthood into verbal shorthand for, “Go fuck yourself!”. In most incidences, its usage, though a maddening…
Unfortunately, for sane, thinking Americans, the President’s ass is so big, there seems to be no limit to the amount or variety of shit he can pull out of it. And, being void of the evolutionary mechanism that sorts fact from outright horsepucky, makes him equal parts comical, (in a…
I’m conflicted. I was sure I was a 100% free speech guy. Go ahead! Say whatever you want! Call me names! Sticks and stones and all that, don’t you know? But…when a man…or a woman…says things that have dire consequences, there is a need for an addendum to the Constitution. …
