  You know, in Russia they call it “The Great Patriotic War” and it must be admitted that they pretty much carried our water in blood and soil until we got our act together and opened up that second front they kept nagging us about. It is entirely questionable whether we would have prevailed without …

So last Thursday I was writing about the Pennsylvania Gerrymandering case and lamenting it was even considered for review by the Supreme Court. I was sure Justice Samuel Alito (who is the one who covers that geographical area) would at least kick it up to the full Court because 1) he is a total Republican …

Since I’ve actually performed in a Marching Band I’ve known a few and they’re mostly talentless pricks. “Oh, let’s give him a job he can’t screw up. He can’t March and he can’t Play and he can’t twirl a Flag or a Baton or throw a Rifle so let’s just put him out in front …

I think I’ve mentioned I hate both these teams and I can easily think of 17 different things I’d rather be watching. Except for the commercials. Juste à côté. Recognize this one? Yeah, who’d a thunk? But it’s all about who you hate the most and it’s definitely the Patsies. Why Tom Brady’s New England …

Hard to believe I have 14 of these things junking up my DVR when I should let them wash over and through me like the adorable animals they are. Not that I don’t rewatch them sometimes when I’m feeling particularly in need of some cuteness and emotional support mind you, just that they’re all basically …

Umm… look. I’ve had what I would characterize as a fair amount of sexual experience, not Wilt Chamberlain levels (20 Thousand over 40 years for an average of 1 new woman every 17.64 hours. If you view that from the Mark Twain perspective you may find the holder willing but the candle weak so you’ll …

Sometimes I think it’s instructive to sit back (strong drink optional, popcorn mandatory) and point and hoot at the delusions of the 30% racists, bigots, and misogynists. Then again I used to watch The 700 Club (Hi Jay!) for shits and giggles. I can not emphasise enough that sharp and heavy objects can cause expensive …

What a nothingburger! This should not surprise those who have lived through Benghazi-gate and Email-gate and other Republican hype-fests of outrage. There is literally no substance to the Nunes Memo (so called, it was really written by the White House and represents just another instance of Obstruction of Justice). It reminds me of Joe McCarthy …

When you can’t take the news anymore, just curl up into- a Little Ball. Forced Arbitration ps. It’s bad for guys too. Uhh… We sent him to a farm. Upstate. Where he can play all day. Sure, that’s the ticket. This, really, is the end. Completely out of options. Not completely out of options. We …

Folks, it’s a fact and has been since the mid 70s that Republicans have no ideas or agenda other than pure racism, bigotry, and misogyny (well, that and stealing for their Plutocratic Donors). To call them the Party of the Klan and the Nazis is rather understating it because they also hate the 51% majority …

Look, a comprehensive compendium of all the lies in Tuesday’s farce would take too long and be too much work as I am very, very lazy. This piece from The Real News Network outlines some of the more comprehensive falsehoods and is not limited to those articulated during the event (though it is informed by …

Tonight, I owe Donald Trump an apology. Tonight, I was moved and inspired. Tonight, I have hope and faith in America again. It may go away tomorrow… But tonight, America is great again. — Frank Luntz Frank Luntz has a bad haircut. He’s also fat. Oh, and he’s a lying sack of crap. His toady …
