Fidel Castro was a Bad, Bad Man
He executed Thousands (though for scale you really have to compare him to Batista), Packed a bunch more off to “Re-Education” Camps which are by definition much, much worse than a Political Prison. Oh, and he stole all their Mafia and Graft money when they fled to Miami and started raising an Army of Catholic …

Text Mike to 55563
He’s a news dude and you’re wrong fella. 38 foot is plenty to single hand without being unwieldy and if you need to sleep more than 4 you should consider your floating Hospitality Suite that you carry as a Business Expense. Of course you need to pay the crew even just to bob in the …

Objective Journalism Is Why American Politics Has Been Allowed To Be So Corrupt For So Long
So much for Objective Journalism. Don’t bother to look for it here–not under any byline of mine; or anyone else I can think of.

You Got A Lot Of Damn Gall

Popularity Contest
I’m sorry, but for the last 12 hours (and 12 hours before that) I have been hearing nothing but wailing and moaning and rending of garments by New ConservaDem, 3rd Way, Blue Dog, DLC, Coffee Party United, Bowles-Simpson Catfood Salesman Radical Moderate Centrists and their Villager Mouthpiece Puppets. Like it or not Bernie Sanders is …

I feel much better now. I really do.
Let me put it this way, Mr. Amor. The 9000 series is the most reliable computer ever made. No 9000 computer has ever made a mistake or distorted information. We are all, by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error. I don’t feel too threatened by Artificial Intelligence because it’s not. …

Nevada Caucus Results
C’mon, it’s only 3 States. If they can put up those kind of numbers so can we. Huddle up and put on your rally caps. The 92nd Street Y

Yesterday wasn’t any less difficult than I expected, just different and shorter. Escaping New York (World Headquarters of The Stars Hollow Gazette and DocuDharma) was about as hard as you might imagine a Friday Northbound Rush Hour would be, only with more accidents because it was cold. Did I mention the cold? Supposed to have …
