You know, I started Cody Johnston in Cartnoon because he used to be funny. Don’t believe me? Watch- Fuller House I mean it. Have you ever seen Fuller House? It is was always this bad (c’mon the theme song celebrates the fact that’s it’s utterly predictable in that three camera sitcom kind of way). The …

Surefire Intelligence Strikes Again
I want to make this crystal clear- I am probably on the record somewhere as saying I like and admire Michael Avenatti and if I had the resources he’d be my 4th choice for my personal attorney (Ok. The first one is a Republican and the most complete and total asshole it’s ever been my …

Sympathy For The Devil
Look, there is definitely a Left case to make against the European Union- it’s Institutions are Anti-Democratic, it’s regulatory bodies are Industry Captured and in a way that prevents local initiatives to mitigate negative effects (affects is pretending), it’s Financial Institutions are biased toward Hayekian Austerity. These are all very good points which might have …

Exhibit Two
Exhibit One being of course the Lester Holt interview shortly after the Comey firing. This is not rocket science. Trump has admitted in public and on tape that he’s Obstructed Justice, which is illegal. All this crap about how a meeting with Mueller is necessary to determine if he had “criminal intent” is just that- …

Smelling The Coffee
If you are a reader of regularity you must know by now that I think Republicans, all of them, are at best useless greed heads and more typically Bigoted, Misogynous, Racist Monsters. Unfortunately for the Democratic Party most of the ones that are merely scam artists and con men are abandoning their Party in droves …

Moran
I find myself explaining my jokes more frequently which is not a good sign but it is of a piece with the gaslighting alternate reality that Republicans seem to inhabit. In case you missed the humor of it, my post Serious Mendicant was entirely (well, mostly, on another level it’s about the PBS style begging …

Bad Hair Day
So this Armistice Day Trump is blowing off the traditional vist to Arlington National Cemetary (marking the Centennial of the end of the Great War no less) because it’s raining and he might be exposed as the fat balding popinjay and blowhard he is. Law and Order Party indeed. I’m not personally invested mind you, …

There Is Elite, And Then There Is Elite
Somebody once called me a polymath and I was enormously flattered. First, of course, by the fact they called me that, but secondly that I was called that by somebody who even knew what it meant. Am I an elitist? Sure. Proud to be. In addition my style is condescending and obnoxious, yet I do …

The Trial Of Peter
Bloomberg (not exactly a hotbed of Left sentiment) Coop Pretty shifty rock if you care to ask (and I don’t normally do Greek puns). Not only was he always about personal advancement (“What’s in it for me?”) he got his just desserts by being crucified upside down like a, what is it?, pineapple/caramel cake. …

Everybody Hates Computers
This isn’t really a story about Medicine, instead it’s an illustration of the problems that integrated institutional software always has. That problem is, by the very nature of doing what it’s designed to do, it imposes costs in training and, ultimately, individual efficiency. Oh sure it would be great if we were all coding geniuses …
