River City
Tom Brokaw’s letter– It is 4:00 am on the first day of my new life as an accused predator in the universe of American journalism. I was ambushed and then perp walked across the pages of The Washington Post and Variety as an avatar of male misogyny, taken to the guillotine and stripped of any …

Maybe I’m Finally Purged
It’s a source of satisfaction to me that outside of dK (twice, under my own handle, not everyone can say that) and Open Left (not so open and not so left) I’ve never been booted from a web site (well, one other and it’s complicated and a story for another day) though there are plenty …

Who’s being naive, Kay? The Godfather is the truest movie about politics that has ever been written. All you needed to …

Slow Play
Folks, I golf so I know just how it is. You want to do a deal so you call your Greens Keeper with whom you’re on a first name basis and set up a Tee Time, around 10ish so your (prospective) partner has enough time to stop at the office and pick up his weekday …

The Anti-Life Equation
I hope by now that regular readers will simply accept that I know a lot of stuff about a lot of stuff even though it’s not everything about anything and in some respects I’m as clueless as Sherlock- “What the deuce is it to me? You say that we go round the sun. If we …

Comey Is No Hero
One of the most frustrating things this past week has been watching James Comey make the rounds of Stephanopoulos, Maddow, The View, along with other outlets and be lauded as some paragon of moral rectitude and virtue. Jim Comey is a lifelong Republican who willingly and enthusiastically signed off on Torture (a War Crime in …
