NRA Sluts

May 25, 2022

o, I am not referring to these two as sluts because of their gender. They share that honorary distinction with all of the Republican politicians and many of the Democratic ones. and not just those holding national offices. However, these two are especially interesting cases.

Birds of a Feather

January 27, 2021

ultures are appropriate representatives for the overwhelming number of politicians and others calling themselves Republicans. Vultures don’t put themselves in jeopardy by killing their own prey. They wait for others to do their dirty work. Although vultures come in a variety of colors, they congregate with others of like color, much like Republicans. I don’t […]

Totally Lacking Judgment

September 16, 2016

ow obvious can Donald Trump’s lack of judgment can be? Total. For years he has famously led the tin hats of the conspiracy theory that Obama was born in Kenya. His reluctance to admit that his claims were a fraud were understandable. It has been the ‘red meat’ that was the appeal to the racists […]

Looking In the Wrong Direction

May 8, 2016

oving, a few necessary trips and scheduling a few more joint replacements, added to trying to do sufficient research for the books I’m working on, don’t leave much time for this blog. You likely aren’t too disappointed on the occasions I find a substitute to expound on an important issue. Here’s another such time. This […]

Supreme Stupidity

January 25, 2010

Despite what some may think, I was not around for the Dred Scott decision. That aside, I had comforted myself that the Supremes could not make a worse ruling than the one that gave us Bush the lesser. I was wrong, horribly so. We are now the only developed country in the world that allows […]

Says Who?

December 1, 2009

I saw thousands of sheep on my recent trip to the Highlands of Scotland. Most were just grazing on the hillsides. A few were being herded, by border collies, men or both. If I had more time I would have stopped and asked them if they really wanted to be herded to the slaughterhouse. They, […]

American Sunrise

November 5, 2008

We have before us the potential of America. We should not expect its full realization but we hope to see a substantial step forward. Before going any further, I must congratulate Senator John McCain for his concession speech. The campaign was not something of which to be proud but that speech went a long way […]
