  • Our News Media STILL Can’t Handle Donald Trump

    I’ve no doubt that KRISTEN WELKER, newly appointed host of NBC’s creaky, tired, old MEET THE PRESS, is good at something. Journalism however ain’t it. Even when she was just a regular member of NBC News’ reporting corps, Kristen regularly demonstrated that she was a mediocre little girl trying to fill a skilled, grown woman’s…

  • Republicans And Magical Thinking

    Kellyanne Conway – Donald Trump’s staff Crypt Keeper lookalike – famously said that Trump World preferred “alternative facts” to actual facts. That was a remarkable statement when Kellyanne made it. We still hadn’t gotten used to the idea of Trumpanistas always saying the quiet stuff out loud. But, that’s what Kellyanne did: she articulated a…

  • What If Trump’s Presidency Was Illegitimate?

    Remember that photo? Hard to forget, really. That’s the current leader of the Republican Party looking like Vladimir Putin’s bitch! But, really, it’s a photo of so much more. That’s a picture of corruption in the extreme. It’s the smoking gun that everyone saw and no one (except maybe a few keen-eyed observers) appreciated. It’s…

  • Bullets And Sperm

    True fact: 95.7% of all mass murderers are male. That’s probably not a coincidence since U.S. men are roughly twice as likely as U.S. women to own a gun, 43% vs. 22%. Why is that, do ya suppose? Is that because US men fear for their safety more than US women? Why do American men…

  • There’s No Such Thing As “Responsible Gun Ownership”

    Sorry, gun owners, but calling yourselves “responsible” is really just a nicety you apply to yourselves. I totally appreciate that you aspire to be responsible with your firearms. If you spent money on a gun locker or safe in which to store your weapons when not in use? Good on ya! That was a (relatively)…

  • Confession: Sometimes, I Miss “Old Twitter”

    I am a huge fan of Mastodon. I really enjoy the community I’ve found in the fediverse. I love what I’ve learned there about moss and mushrooms, El Greco and butterflies, this and that and pretty much everything in between. The big difference between the fediverse and a social media platform like, say, Twitter, is…

  • The Cost Of Doing Nothing

    The Republican Party reminds us every day how expensive it is “doing nothing”. In the face of a massive, demonstrable problem – like, say, climate change – the GOP’s invariable response to the cost of addressing it is “do nothing”. That supposes that doing nothing costs nothing. But that’s about the most false economy there…

  • Why Does Donald Trump Keep Using The Word “Perfect”?

    Every time Donald Trump uses the word “perfect” – to describe a phone call or a meeting or himself – “The Princess Bride” flashes across my mind. In “The Princess Bride”, Wallace Shawn’s character Vizzini keeps using the word “inconceivable” to describe things that are actually quite conceivable. Because they’re happening. Mandy Patinkin’s Inigo Montoya…

  • Ron DeSantis And The Banality Of Evil

    In his own way, Florida governor Ron DeSantis is remarkable – for being unremarkable. Is it really so surprising that the further Ron steps onto the national stage, the more unlikely it becomes that he’ll ever be president? The more we learn about Ron and his twisted views of history, science, justice and life, the…

  • In The End, Napster Came For Us All: Why The SAG/WGA Strike Won’t End Any Time Soon

    “Napster”… the name brings back lots of memories, doesn’t it? Not only was it fun sharing music across Napster’s platform (and discovering lots of new music along the way), it felt downright righteous! While you were getting ahold of music you loved for free, at the very same time, you were sticking it to “the…
