The Good. The Bad. And the Ugly.
And now, it’s time for another episode of “The Good. The Bad. And the Ugly.” It is proudly brought to you by the American political establishment, in conjunction with the pack of moronic fuckwits who enable it (and we can include the American people in that mix). Warren continues to …

On This Topic, I Am Indeed a Conspiracy Theorist
The perfect storm of events came together over the past few weeks that made me come out of the closet on the issue of 9-11. Yes, that 9-11. First, Phillip Marshall, who wrote The Big Bamboozle: 9-11 and the War on Terror (highly recommended reading) was found dead, along with …

Welcome to Zombie America
We live in Zombie America. There are Zombies on both sides: We have Republican Zombies. These are the people who want to eat the middle class and the poor. The we have Zombies on the other side of the aisle. These are the Zombies who get rabid when people (like …

Oh, the Humanity! I Mean WTF?
I could have made this another The Good. The Bad. And the Ugly. post, but I can’t find any good right now. These are all pretty ugly, and I don’t want to start yet another recurring post. People who know me know that I’m a cynic from the start, but …

The Good. The Bad. And the Ugly.
Oh, it’s time for another edition of The Good. The Bad. And the Ugly. Funny, there’s always more of The Bad. And the Ugly. Such is the state of American politics. Proving that she’s very, very good Elizabeth Warren, the freshman Senator from Massachusetts, is living up to her …

A Nation of Freaks With Pathetic Excuses
I’ve been totally flabbergasted with this nation’s response to the prospect of meaningful gun control legislation in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre. I thought I’d seen and heard just about everything in my lifetime. Boy, was I wrong. The bullshit that’s been flying around the airwaves and in …

The Good. The Bad. And the Ugly.
Or the column formerly called “The Weekly Ying and Yang.” I’ve decided to take a different approach, primarily because I no longer write that column weekly. And also because there’s far more “yang” than “ying.” Therefore, I believe that the new title gives me more flexibility in both frequency and …

Oh No! Not Another Lecture on Semantics!
Ah, yes. My diatribe on the “moral high ground” has awoken the sleeping giant known as my good friend Ivan Hentschel. This is a good thing because I’ve been trying to get Ivan to send me a post for about two years. I knew sooner or later I’d piss him …

America the Immoral, Part Two
Part Two of America the Immoral took me longer than I anticipated to put together. Better late than never. Here you have it. The continued war on women is immoral at its very core. Apparently the GOP didn’t get the message sent by women this past November, in spite of …

America the Immoral, Part One
Don’t misread the headline. It doesn’t say “America the Immortal.” It does indeed say “America the Immoral.” As a political junkie, I spend a lot of time rooting around, digging up information, and generally keeping myself informed of the day-to-day events going on in America and abroad. We still have …

More News and Notes on the Newtown Massacre
We’re a couple of days removed from the Newtown Massacre, and it is no less horrifying today than it was Friday. As a follow-up, I have posted on my Scribd site a PDF file of the NRA brochure that I mentioned in yesterday’s article on the Sandy Hook Elementary School. …

The Time For Gun Control is Now.
We’ve had yet another mass murder with guns, this time in Newtown, Connecticut. I know. I’ve heard all the laments. “Things like this don’t happen here.” Newtown is described as an “idyllic community.” I have, and this is no lie, no less than thirty posts on my Facebook timeline asking …

Same Shit. Different Day.
Yeah, I know. That’s an overused phrase. I was thinking of using The More Things Change, The More They Stay the Same, but that’s overused too. And, frankly, I feel as though I sound like a broken record. However, there’s no way around this damned post. I’m going to spend …

An Open Letter to the GOP and Its Supporters
Before I finish my post-election article, I am putting the text of an open letter to the GOP here. Please feel free to use portions of this letter to write to your GOP elected officials no matter where you are. Our message must be heard over the next four years, …

It’s Officially “A Sigh of Relief”
It’s Wednesday, November 7, and I’m officially breathing a sigh of relief. I went to bed last night knowing gleefully that the only thing Mitt Romney is president of is the Wicked Losers Club. Yep. If you’re from Massachusetts, things almost couldn’t be any better. Elizabeth Warren is officially Senator …

Will We Breathe a Sigh of Relief Tomorrow, or Will We Be Scared Shitless?
Okay, folks. I know you’re probably pretty tired of this stuff, but I have to do this one more time before D-Day. In the event that you are considering Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan for the next four painful years, I’d like to remind you what their administration will look …

After This Damned Election is Over…
I don’t know how you feel about the election, but I can’t wait until it’s all over. We’ll either be breathing a sign of relief or we’ll be scared shitless. Either way, after this election the American people need to move this country in a new direction entirely because neither …

The Big-Ass Elephant in the Room
Can you guess what the big-ass elephant in the room is this election cycle? If you guessed climate change, you guessed right. It never made it as a debate topic because both sides agreed not to bring it up. In fact, it has been missing from the political public discourse …

The 2012 Election Goal: Keep Romney-Ryan Out of the White House. Period.
Over the last several days, the GOP has proved once again that it and its supporters are totally irrelevant, beginning with Donald Trump’s supposedly election-changing revelation about Barack Obama and ending with yet another GOP prospective lawmaker weighing in on the issue of rape. That anyone — not just women …

Why You Should Wear a Bag On Your Head If You Plan to Vote GOP
I’m on a roll. I keep saying this and I will keep saying this: I am not an Obamabot. Nope. However, there is no way — and I mean NO WAY — I would ever, ever check a box next to a GOP candidate at any level. Here’s an example. …

Here’s What’s On My Mind Today: The Debates Suck
In fact, they suck out loud. How useful are they in their present format? Well, shit, we might as well all be sitting around eating pork rinds and watching Honey Boo Boo. And anyone who knows me will tell you I absolutely hate reality television. Because there’s nothing remotely akin …

Twenty-Three Days and Counting
I, for one, will be happy when this damned election is over. I haven’t been this stressed out over an election since the days of Richard Nixon. Before I begin in earnest with this article, let me tell you something about my personal journey in this election. I’m not thrilled …

Barack Obama: Missing in Action
I’ve had a full week of debates. I attended the Elizabeth Warren-Scott Brown debate on Monday at the University of Lowell. I watched the debacle last night between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. In this article, I want to talk about both of these debates, and it’s not going to …

Toot! Toot! All Aboard the GOP Train Wreck!
I’m definitely not gloating here. It’s waaaaay too soon to gloat. There’s plenty of time left before election day, and the times are decidedly weird. How anybody in this country (who isn’t millionaire status) could even be considering voting for this crop of GOP nit wits is beyond me…but there …

OXYMORON. Defined.
Ox-y-mo-ron: A figure of speech in which incongruous or contradictory terms appear side by side. [e.g., Gay Republican; Republican Women]. I apologize for not being vocal of late. Frankly, I’ve been on vacation taking a break from the political world (at least in the writing sense). But I’m back now, …

Asshats and Weasels and Liars! Oh My! (Or, Dispatches From CrazyTown)
So, yesterday was a banner day in CrazyTown, USA (formerly known as Tampa, Florida). Hurricane Isaac saw the GOP coming and got the hell out of town. He got out just in the nick of time, it turns out, because there was more bullshit flying in that convention hall than …

CrazyTown (formerly known as Tampa, Florida) is Now Officially Open for Business
The GOP NutCake Bandwagon has officially pulled into CrazyTown, formerly known as Tampa, Florida, towing behind it the most vicious and extreme GOP Platform in the history of the party. I’m pretty sure Dwight D. Eisenhower must be turning over in his grave right now. I don’t want to hear …

Todd Akin is NOT a GOP Anomaly
“It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare,” Mr. Akin said of pregnancies from rape. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work or something: I think …

Romney-Ryan 2012: The One Percent Ticket is Now Complete
Nobody should be surprised that Mitt Romney has chosen Paul Ryan as his running mate. The consummate candidate of the one percent had to fill out his ticket with the appropriate sidekick. If elected, you can be sure of the final crushing blow to the poor and middle class in …

Pity the Misguided Voters of America
I was driving home from work the other day behind a car that had three bumper stickers on it. Here’s what they said: Nobama 2012 (The “No” and the “2012″) were in red. God Bless America. Mitt Romney: Believe in America. Here’s the rub: The damned car was a Ford …

A Little Trip to La La Land With Pat Buchanan
There are so many crazies in and around the GOP that it’s hard to pick the craziest, but Pat Buchanan is certainly up there with the craziest of them. In a piece published on Town Hall, Buchanan has declared that the GOP is doomed because of the dwindling white population. …

America and Its Obsession With Guns
Here we are after one of the worst massacres in United States history and we have a GOP presidential candidate who says we don’t need gun control and a sitting president who is too chickenshit to stand up to the NRA. Indeed, Obama’s response to the Aurora, Colorado killings was …
