It didn’t start with imaginary WMDs (weapons of mass destruction). Our national war of insanity began years earlier. The Supreme Court decision following the 2000 election was led by Republican Chief Justice William Rehnquist, who stopped the vote count in Florida. He disenfranchised tens of thousands of voters and gave the election and the presidency… [read more]
President Biden’s Address to the Nation on Covid (I Wish)
It’s time for some straight talk. It’s time for us to put it on the line – no political weasel words. So, here it is. We have an epidemic in this country that isn’t going away. In fact, it’s rapidly getting worse. Last year it killed a lot of seniors, but our surviving elderly got… [read more]
It Begs the Question
From Thom Hartmann’s rant on August 6 The first real test of the [National Voter Rights Act of 1993] came in 2018, when Ohio’s Republican Secretary of State, John Husted, went on a voter-purge binge (that hit Black, student and elderly neighborhoods particularly hard) and was sued by the A. Phillip Randolph Institute for violating… [read more]
Governors Gone Wild
It is with enormous pride that we announce the winners of the very first Governors Gone Wild Awards! .

Social media creeps wasted no time in attacking her, calling her a quitter and applying far more horrific labels…. [read more]
Golden Calf
Trump’s endless string of lies at the July 2021 CPAC convention was not just boring; it was old news boring. New day, same old lies. On the other hand, his supplicants applauded and made the proper guttural noises for him in response to his calls for adulation. They did the same for the rest of… [read more]
Willful Ignorance
Dear Mrs. Jordan, It is with regret that I write to tell you about your son, Jim. He lies so very often, like repeating Donald Trump’s Big Lie. He lies about the attack on our Capitol Building. He lies by promoting conspiracy craziness. He says mean things about Democrats and liberals with almost every breath…. [read more]
What’s Going On?
First, Something Personal Parkinson’s Disease is a miserable critter. It strikes famous people like Michael J. Fox, Linda Ronstadt and Neil Diamond and it hits we little folk as well.
