  • How Conservatives Think

    Were I a conservative, I probably would have titled this “Do Conservatives Think?” That’s because I already would have cynically dismissed them and their thinking. If I’m honest, it’s tempting. That conservative impulse lives within me. I do want the world to be how I want it to be. My problem is, the world has…

  • Dear Mike Pence: Shut The Flaming Hell Up

    Mike Pence thinks he lives in God’s grace. To a degree, he’s right. He’s living in something’s grace because we all still think of him as something other than a traitor! Make no mistake: Mike Pence is every bit the traitor Donald Trump is. And Donald Trump is, first and foremost a traitor. But then,…

  • Let A Jury Have It!

    American justice is still a work in progress. Once we finish flushing white corruption from it (if Donald Trump represents anything, it’s white corruption) the rule of law will finally have a chance to flourish. I believe it will because a diverse America will keep an eagle eye on it. One of the clever bits…

  • The Ravages Of Magical Thinking

    America has always loved Magical Thinking. What would you call “Manifest Destiny” – the idea that a sky deity wanted white people to seize indigenous lands – except “magical thinking”? It’s ludicrous on its face. But then, all MT is! Magical Thinking doesn’t care if it’s ludicrous. It has its own logic which is to…

  • Republicans Despise Democracy Cos Democracy Despises Them

    Dear Democracy: Hate to break it to ya, but the Republican Party just isn’t “in to” you. It’s a stone cold fact. Republicans don’t like democracy. In their defense, democracy doesn’t like them either. Some people never graduate from the schoolyard. Turns out, that’s a lot of Republicans. Whatever they were on the schoolyard, that’s…

  • Damned But Not Doomed

    There are times when America really does seem doomed. That is, our democratic republic seems doomed to finish its run atop history’s ash heap. A great idea kneecapped by racism, greed and just plain stupidity. The GOP‘s relentless attempts – any which way they can – to stop all oversight, investigation and prosecution of their…

  • Why America Won’t “Go Fascist”

    Having been born in 1959, I grew up in the shadow of the Holocaust. My first grade Hebrew School teacher Mrs. Lederkranz had a number tattooed into her arm. Though we were all only six, all the kids in our class – in all her classes – knew how that number got there. Pikesville, MD…

  • Arguments For Another Day

    I learned the hard way that denying what you know to be true cannot end well. The Truth can be brutal. Not even remotely fun to know. That doesn’t make it less Truthful. Some people won’t face hard Truth unless forced to. And even then, they’ll try to defer or postpone the argument to another…

  • Color Blind Casting Is What’s “To Be”

    Over the course of my career in the film and TV business, I’ve hired a lot of actors. If I’m honest, I didn’t hire a one of them to act. I wanted all of them just to “be”. Now, keep in mind, we’re talking about acting for the camera, not acting for the stage. They’re…

  • If Books Scare You, Actual Ideas Must Be Nightmares

    Ever notice how it’s never progressives banning books? True fact: being progressive means book banning is anathema to you. Instead, progressives ban hate speech because hate speech undermines a diverse, democratic society. It is a literal assault upon others. Conservatives by contrast ban books because they hate what’s inside them – ideas and ways of…
