I get that we now apparently exist in a world where it’s a much more desirable path to merely point out when something positive or negative happens rather than actually provide something resembling an unbiased look from even ten thousand feet (Thirty thousand would be WAY too much to ask). Earlier this month I pretty … Read more
It’s been a pretty celebratory week so far if you happen to be a Democrat–slightly more so if you consider yourself a progressive. THE GUARDIAN’s Joseph Gedeon was downright gushy with his report of how it began on Monday: House progressives, long dismissed as the Democratic party’s leftwing outliers, are heading into the next Congress … Read more
You’ll need to try and forgive me if I’m not quite as exuberant about the blue tsunami as perhaps those in areas where candidates with track records and/or broad visions drove that sea change. Nithya Raman will soon be the mayor of Los Angeles, and other than the fact she is not Karen Bass I’m … Read more
A blue tsunami hit land Tuesday night, and it’s the very definition of a perfect storm to those who have endured the last decade sludging through more mudslinging and manure than any farm animal ever had to deal with. It’s apropos that the weather is downright perfect on both coasts for a blessed event of … Read more
It’s Election Day for those who choose to celebrate. If I can, you certainly have no excuse not to. I’ve already cast my votes, joining an approximate 57 million per the AP as of this writing who chose to take care of matters ahead of all of the supposed shenaningans with Black Friday-level lines and … Read more

Considering a growing amount of the content that’s being reacted to also may not be of human origin, I suppose that’s appropriate. But as … Read more
Let’s get one thing straight right off the top: In my very humble opinion, Vivek Ramaswamy is a thoroughly unqualified, opportunistic scumbag. I had that opinion long before his handlers chose to make the clearly Stockholm Syndrome-suffering mother of his opponent for the governorship of Ohio, Dr. Amy Acton, the face of his campaign that … Read more
It’s yet another No Kings Day. Oh joy. Well, at least this one has a bit better timing and purpose attached than the ones prior. Regular readers know prior musings have not been kind to those. But hey, at least this one has enough proximity to Halloween for folks to test the waters of the … Read more
Another day, another outrageously incendiary idea from our current administration. Apparently, our looksmaxxing Secretary of De–er, War–may have seen our recent music on the struggles his boss’ eponymous “network” has been having and seized the opportunity to sell him on a special that would seem to have at least have the potential to break triple … Read more
I’ve held off on adding my own cent and a quarter on –not to mention LMFAOing at– the ludicrously minute audience that Trump TV has generated since it burst on the media landscape late last month as the way that its namesake could stick yet another mangled finger in the eye of all of those–ahem–fake … Read more
