But it’s a really nice day, and before the skies begin to burn, and the streets are filled with the horrible shrieks of the dying and wounded, and that unmistakable smell of burning flesh and cordite, let’s just take a moment to let the stress of the day just fall away .. Continue reading →

Headlines! Headlines! Too bad no actual heads were involved. Continue reading →

This blog originally began when I ran for state representative in my district because I knew that the “incumbent” (appointed, as are all our state representatives, so that he could run as an “incumbent” in his first election) was receiving over 91% of his funding from OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT! Worse, he was receiving 75% from out of state… Continue reading →

Why are they protesting? Good question, and one that we shall not attempt to discuss here. Maybe the fact that NO major Republican figure is in any wise accessable: they are all hidden from the public by a wall of bodyguards and money: Rush Limbaugh, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Michael Savage, and, yes, Sarah Palin. These are the actions of the “royal” classes, not of Americans … Continue reading →

Whether you care about what I write tomorrow or not, you ought to read these if only to understand what’s happening to your country…. Continue reading →

The truth is that there are many who are so insensitive to the plight of their fellow human beings that they might easily utter the phrase “Well, let them eat cake,” or else creatively interpret the facts to their own ends… Continue reading →

If it weren’t so scary, I’d predict that teabaggery is the new “streaking.” It’ll be a fad until somebody gets hurt or arrested or something, and we’ll remember it in stupid shows on “E!” as a group of D-List comics and former celebrities comment vacuously on it during a “Best of the Teens” special for your holographic TV that doesn’t require stupid glasses to watch.

Because, you know, pulling off something unprecedented in achieving consensus on locking up the world’s supply of nuclear material just isn’t all THAT important. Not near as important as the feelings of the Washington Press Corpse. Continue reading →

I suppose they didn’t know that was ALSO the excuse that “good Germans” universally made about the concentration camps in their midst. Continue reading →
