Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
That’s why they wasted no time reveling in the apocalyptic-cum-hedonistic prelude to their rapture. More to the point, it was always wishful thinking to expect any Republican to vote to impeach their god … for anything. Therefore, I don’t get all the dismay over “moderate Republicans” defying logic, reason, and common sense to normalize Trump’s… Read more.
I have been making P.T. Barnum analogies to explain Donald J. Trump for years. Nearly 10 years ago, I called Trump the P.T. Barnum of business: a huckster who thrives on the notion that ‘there’s a sucker born every minute,’ a self-aggrandizing buffoon who exposed himself as a self-deluding racist as well.

American news organizations provided so much coverage of Donald Trump’s traveling circus to Mexico today, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was the most important geopolitical event of the century. But, trust me, within 24 hours his trip will be relegated to the dustbin of viral stunts. Meanwhile, they provided scant coverage of an event… Read more.
No doubt you’ve seen Illinois Gov Rod Blagojevich on television in recent days whining about not being allowed to call witnesses (like Pres. Obama’s chief of staff Rahm Emmanuel) for his defense in the impeachment trial that was ongoing in the state legislature. But he knew full well that this was not a criminal trial, during… Read more.
