Oh, thank you thank you thank you, Deb Milbrath, for commenting on this ridiculous GOP talking point, which is based on misreading a story in a sleazy British tabloid, in which the writer conflates an almost entirely unrelated study with the Green New Deal with Biden’s acceptance of some GND concepts. I was hoping for […]
While I agree generally with Kate in Grand Avenue (AMS), one of the specific things the weekend means is that I don’t do laundry, because that’s the day all the people who work are crowding the laundromat. But, having retired, Saturday means two things: The post office closes at noon and there will be more […]
Bill Bramhall (NYDN) captures the moment by contrasting FDR’s first inaugural call for national unity with the current GOPs determination to maintain division. First of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is…fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into […]
As noted here yesterday, the GameStop gambit was not pulled off by youngsters, but I got a laff out of Dave Whamond (Cagle)‘s cartoon anyway, because, regardless of whodunnit, the targets were, indeed, pigs. Not because they are rich. I know some rich people who got there honestly and ethically. But I’m not the […]
It’s Friday, but we’ll do funnies tomorrow. I’m actually hoping to go back to a random mix, with days of humor interspersed with days of politics and no particular pattern. It used to be like that here. Which brings to mind this graphic the Onion ran in the wake of 9/11, when they finally rang […]
Perhaps the best way to lead off this topic is to direct you to Clay Jones’ site, where he shares various sketches and ponders aloud how to handle the President’s Covid diagnosis. I don’t particularly care for the somewhat celebratory cartoon he eventually came up with, but he explains his feelings in greater depth […]
Phil Hands leads off today with a narrow accusation I want to expand into a continuing theme. The refusal to wear masks, or, more broadly, the refusal to take Covid-19 seriously, requires a level of gullibility that should boggle the mind. That is, it’s not just “bad science.” The anti-vaxxers can at least string together […]
Clay Jones got caught in a bit of changing-story whiplash, which happens. New Orleans Saints Quarterback Drew Brees made a stupid statement about kneeling for the anthem, saying that protest was okay but that disrespecting the flag was not. He was immediately slapped down by most of the NFL, including teammates, and issued an apology […]
Deb Milbrath made me laugh this morning and that’s worth something. And she’s right: His nightly pep rallies have lost all but the tiniest fig leaf of “public information” and become beefing sessions. He is, indeed, #CryBabyInChief. Anyone who has dealt with bullies knows they tend to burst into tears from a good punch in […]
