Formula One 2019: Albert Park
I hate these overnight races because for me, it’s not even the right day of the week. It’s Saturday dammit and will be until I take a nap. Last year was totally confusing with many rule changes, site changes, and a complete revamp of the Broadcast Network, schedule, and Announcers. At least when the moved …

Why ISDS Is A Bad Idea- Part Infinity
Look, I know you long for the days of Obama but he only looks good by comparison. He self identifies as slightly to the right of Eisenhower and that’s not progressive or Left in any sense. One of his worst policies was Investor State Dispute Settlement as instituted in NAFTA (by Bill Clinton) and in …

A Bigger Defeat Than You Might Think
So Unidicted Co-conspirator Bottomless Pinocchio lost 12 Republicans in the Senate during his showdown over an Emergency Declaration to fund his Vanity Project Penis Wall O’ Racism and that might seem bad enough, but it’s actually much worse. He Whipped them, “whipped” in this sense meaning he made the vote explicitly a test of personal …

Occupied Palestine is, umm… Occupied They’re actually equally Semites as far as labels like that go (not far unless you’re Tucker Carlson). Benjamin Netanyahu is a crook who deserves to …

Winter – Off The Air Punxsutawney Phil tells us it should be over any week now. In light of Global Warming I hesitate to celebrate. Daylight Savings has come again (still recovering and by any rational scheme we would be on Atlantic Time permanently) and March Madness not far away. First Formula One Sunday. Hopefully …

How It’s Done Downtown
Uhh… here on Sores and Boils Alley we’re hipper than you think. I live near a family that are distant relatives of some totally legitimate business people as far as I know and we never really feel the need to lock our doors at night. If you know what I mean. Frank Cali, Gambino crime …

Democratic Iraq
First of all, it’s not that Democrats aren’t entirely complicit in Iraq, because they are. Still, it’s primarily associated in the public mind with W and the Republican Party. What Democrats have to own is their response to the financial crisis (Panic? Depression? Recession?) of 2007 – 2008 and their $10 Trillion+ Bailout of Banksters …

Bananas
I think Mr. Mellish is a traitor to this country because his views are different from the views of the President and others of his kind. Differences of opinion should be tolerated, but *not* when they’re too different. Then he becomes a subversive. How the global banana industry is killing the world’s favorite fruit By …
