Today will be a combination of the absurd and the frightening, so we’ll start somewhere in the middle with Graeme MacKay’s commentary on the price of Christmas trees. The scout troop in our town square is selling them for $65, about the same price as the local co-op, but I haven’t checked prices elsewhere because, […]
Might as well start with a laugh, or as close as we can get to one. RJ Matson steps back from attempting to inspire horror over the lack of ethics on the Supreme Court, and the Chief Justice’s refusal to take it seriously. Maybe mockery is more effective than head-on criticism. It has been said […]
Steve Breen (Creators) sums up everything we know so far about Uvalde: Children were murdered, parents were devastated and we’re hearing a lot of same-old same-old from the top.

If it’s a glitch, Rob, don’t fix it. It can’t be improved. (Too late: Here’s what he meant.) But today’s headline says “Hateful Fools […]

Chuck Grassley (R-Ia) asked her a for-real question about allowing cameras in the Supreme Court, and she properly replied that — […]
Darrin Bell (KFS) begins Black History Month by pointing out the pressure on Black history around the country at the moment. Or possibly not simply at the moment. There’s a certain seven-blind-men-and-the-elephant factor at work, in that how slavery and its impacts were taught very much depends on where you went to school. But they […]
(Ann Telnaes — WashPo) (Matt Davies — AMS) We could have a full day of nohting but Cruisin’ Cruz cartoons, but here are two and they pretty much tell the story (nice snow shovels), though it’s important, I suppose, to note: (A) Cruz lied about having promised his daughters a vacation and simply taking them […]
