How is the Donald going to get the Mexicans to pay for that wall?
Donald Trump has been somewhat famous, or infamous, for proclaiming over and over again that he will build a “great” wall on the Mexican border, and that he will get the Mexicans to pay for that wall. Which is, as … Continue reading
How many Republican debates have we had
I’ve kind of lost count of the number of Republican debates that we’ve had. My brother and his family, God bless them, were still watching the one that happened on Thursday night — the one where Trump didn’t attend because … Continue reading
You heard it here first: Joe Biden for Vice President
Somebody asked me the other day who Hillary should pick for Vice President. (I know, I know, Hillary hasn’t won the nomination yet.) One of the first obvious choices could be Martin O’Malley, who is a much better Presidential candidate … Continue reading
Donald Trump did not say that Republicans are the “dumbest group of voters” in 1998
As tempting as it is to believe, Donald Trump did not say that Republicans are the “dumbest group of voters” in a 1998 ‘People’ magazine interview. When something that tempting comes along, it’s usually a good idea to check Snopes. … Continue reading

It’s been reported recently in the news that, with gas prices at record lows, people are “trading in their hybrids” and buying SUVs again. We really are morons. Lab rats can at least can be trained. We, it appears, are … Continue reading

Robert Reich recently penned a piece that Ted Cruz is more dangerous than Donald Trump. And I have to say that I agree with him. Here are the five reasons, condensed, why Reich thinks that Cruz is more dangerous than … Continue reading
Submit to the snow, which rewards indolence and punishes the go-getters
Here’s a great little piece in the opinion section of the New York Times about how in the case of a blizzard, one should do nothing. A snowstorm rewards indolence and punishes the go-getters, which is one of reasons it’s … Continue reading
Have fun shoveling snow, climate change deniers!
There’s a new normal in the Northeastern states for winter weather, and it’s not good, frankly. The new pattern seems to be this: we get a nice and warm December, which brings us a Christmas without snow and much warmer … Continue reading
