The Moral Hypocrisy of Trump Voters Oh, my Republican friends, don’t say that I didn’t try to warn you. Way back in 2016 and again in 2020, I tried to caution you that if you disregarded all of Trump’s unabashed moral indiscretions and voted for that steaming pile of unprincipled dog manure that you would […]
This will probably come as a shock to absolutely no-one, but I was never really a fan of Rush Limbaugh. In fact, I hated every ounce of his corpulent, self-indulged ass and felt an uncontrollable urge to punch him squarely in his rotund piehole just about every time he opened it. But when I learned […]
Giving Karens a Bad Name I’m going to start this week’s column by apologizing in advance to two very good friends of mine, both of whom are named Karen. We’ve all witnessed the proliferation of memes and derogatory comments that incorporate their name as a term of mockery and derision. Essentially, a “Karen” can best […]
Who Lit This Dumpster on Fire? So this is where we are at as a country, huh? Well, that precipitous decline into moral bankruptcy and societal anarchy sure didn’t take long, now did it? What we witnessed last Wednesday was the tragic demise of American exceptionalism (if such a thing ever really existed) and the […]
Further Down the Rabbit Hole “‘Will you walk into my Parler?” said the Spider to the Fly.“The Spider and the Fly”, Mary Howitt, 1829 (I may have changed spelling to match the stupidity of others) So I may or may not have been having a somewhat contentious debate with a conservative friend of mine on […]
(No Longer) Proud to be an American Ok, this is it, I promise. After today, I will not write again about the 2020 election. I just don’t have it in me. After months of hyper-tension no doctor can alleviate and at least a few emergency sessions spent on a therapist’s couch, I, like most of […]
I Double Dog Dare You, Republicans I miss you already, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I really do. This past Friday we lost a true legend- a champion of women’s rights and an advocate for the disenfranchised. And even though she was a diminutive Jewish woman who had spent the past twenty-seven years as a Supreme Court […]
A Life and Death Betrayal of the American Public I’ll be honest with you, I always try to be at least a week ahead on writing TRUTH: In 1000 Words or Less. It’s probably the only thing that keeps me sane. Ok, my sanity might be debatable at best, but writing the column in advance […]
Is the Economic Bubble About to Pop? On Tuesday, August 18th, the S&P 500, a key index of the American economy, hit it’s first all-time high since February 19th. That means this year’s bear market was officially the shortest in history. All this is true despite the fact that the number of Americans seeking jobless […]
Q is for Quack Back in the Fall of 1989, as a freshman in an Intro to Political Science class at Colgate University, I got up in front of my class and made a highly controversial statement. My idea, while sincere, was roundly rejected, and I was made to tuck my tail between my legs […]
