I met a guy yesterday who observed that Americans seem so sad nowadays. His theory is that our jobs don’t pay well enough to enable us to attain financial stability vis-a-vis consumer prices, and that this is largely a function …

Universal HealthCare? Don’t Hold Your Breath
As the United States continues its slide into corporatocracy and oligarchy, the concept of universal healthcare becomes ever more unlikely. As the midterms approach, we need to brace ourselves for the onslaught of messaging from the GOP to the effect …
Do Liberals Hate America?
Yes, the MAGA crowd has a huge appetite for the type of rhetoric we see at left, but their numbers are slowing shrinking. That said, it’s still amazing that the U.S. is home to tens of millions of idiots who …
Two Types of Trump Supporters
One doesn’t have to wear this shirt in public to approve of its message. In addition to the world “idiot” I would add the word “hateful.” You really can’t be in the MAGA crowd without a deep repulsion for blacks, …

Key Words from Robert Reich
What former labor secretary Robert Reich says at left is exactly what I believe. First of all, the idea that the Democratic party has turned into the “radical left” is pure GOP propaganda. In any case, you either support American …
Kelsey Grammer May Run for Office
I can’t see it, if he means a national office. Why? He’s an ardent and outspoken Trump supporter. Support of Trump wasn’t a political non-starter until his second term, but now the screwworm and the algae in the Reflecting Pool …
Trump and Vandalism
I thought the cartoon below was clever. Makes us wonder how much more appetite Americans have for this insanity.
