The Republican party has been hard at work for years protecting the sanctity of your right to vote. At least that’s what they claim with straight faces in front of the camera. Here’s how you know they’re lying. Republicans want you to believe that your vote is under attack from fraudulent voters, hundreds, thousands, nay […]
Our nation’s relationship with immigrants has always been complicated and mostly mean. Sure, we put up the Statue of Liberty and inscribed a lovely, welcoming poem, but let us not forget that the statue was a gift from France and the installation of the poem was funded by impressionable children. The realpolitik is a lot […]
Recently I have been asked by a couple of people: whence Kenneth, the guy I’m always yelling at in my blog. I thought I had already written about his origins here, but I can’t find it and I need a blog post for today anyway, so here we are. In 1986, CBS broadcast journalist Dan […]
This came across my Twitter feed today: Technically it was a screen-captured image of the original tweet retweeted by Gary Bernhardt which was then ‘liked’ by Akilah Hughes, whom I do follow. Twitter can be complicated. Gary Bernhardt’s added comment was: Yes, we could call it “taxes.” And there you have the Great Divide in […]
This is a serious question: what is the Current Embarrassment trying to pull? I know, we could spend the rest of the night giving examples of his unprecedented lying, but let’s do just one: at last night’s rally in Phoenix, he enthused (via Twitter, of course) about a “beautiful turnout of 15,000 people” at his […]
Of all the idiotic lies the Current Occupant Embarrassment has told, the most dangerous is one of his first and biggest: that “3 to 5 million illegal votes were cast” in the election, costing him the popular vote. Only one of the amygdala-based lifeforms (whose very life depends on having enough fear to drive their […]
My internet server has a spam filter on it and catches about 100 spam emails a day. It’s very good—I’m actually quite surprised when I get a spam message in my inbox these days. However, it will also occasionally snag emails from people or companies that I want to hear from, and so when I […]
One day, in the gym locker room,[1] on the flatscreen TV:[2] FOX NEWSBOT: We welcome to the program Congressman Frothermouth, from [Red State Redacted]. REPUBLICAN FROTHERMOUTH RIGHTWINGER [RFR]: First step repeal Obamacare repeal it disaster horrific consequences protect American freedom health care costs we’ll have a plan BUT FIRST REPEAL IT BECAUSE ARGLE BARGLE GYAAAAAHHH!

Now that the election is over, the amygdala-based lifeforms are having to find other existential perils to fuel their daily crisis. Here’s one mother who has gotten creative in her efforts: Homeschool mom crushed by ‘moral dilemma’ after son sees male CoverGirl wearing makeup Oy, as we say in my neck of the woods. The […]
I truly don’t understand why Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan aren’t actively campaigning for Hillary Clinton right now. Let’s face it, I think they have long since realized they personally would be better off if she won the election. After all, what are the possibilities? Trump is an enormous drag on the downballot races. At […]
