What Democracy?

January 24, 2019

hear complaints that “they” are destroying our constitutional democracy. Are they really? Is there a democracy to destroy? I want one. You want one. As there is none, we will have to create one.

The Village Idiot Of Washington

June 27, 2015

hronic anger and senility are not an attractive mix. The body politic is burdened with the embarrassment of this robed buffoon. This is a sociopath that judges, based on a rabid, an abject devotion to a ridiculous ideology that is a substitute for thinking. Nay, he considers it actual thinking. This intellectually deficient clown is often […]

Seth Rogan Is Right

July 5, 2014

eth called the Hobby Lobby people and those supporting them assholes. I would have been somewhat more nuanced than Seth. I see them as ignorant, pretentious assholes. The conservative “brain bust trust” on the Supreme Court of Wall Street will need to add several like-minded noggins to the mix to reach the double-digit range for […]

What States Rights?

October 21, 2012

o you see anything wrong in the graphic? It’s right there in your face; perhaps too obvious. It’s a political statement by someone who considers himself a super patriot. Some untutored person quite inappropriately has attached the words “States Rights” to a picture of the Constitution. Untutored? Inappropriate? Sadly.

What Is Marriage?

May 16, 2012

ell, it’s time to get back to work. I got out of the hospital yesterday. Now my illness is primarily from watching the news. I just saw a clergyman claim that god defined marriage for us. It may make him feel good to spout such nonsense, but it’s still nonsense. It amazes me that people […]

No Love Lost

February 20, 2012

t’s true. If you mix religion and politics, you get politics. Perhaps it was only a coincidence. Perhaps it was the recent emergence of that voice of the 12th Century, Rick Santorum. Whatever is was, something spurred the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to declare war on the administration. Perhaps it was coordinated. Perhaps not. […]

Life Is Short

August 17, 2009

Every once in a while something strikes us much too close to home. Two or three times each year our church has a Boomers’ Banquet. Several years ago a couple organized one and it has become a popular event for us geezers. Although everyone else dresses casually, Ed, as host, dresses up in a tuxedo. […]
