This is the kind of thing that drives Bernie Sanders voters to the polls
The Boston Globe recently had a story about a San Francisco area landlord who was evicting a 97 year old lady, notwithstanding that she had lived in her apartment for 66 years, and that she has cancer. Really? The guy … Continue reading
Christie’s Endorsement of Trump should come as a Surprise to Know One
A number of you will have heard the news that Chris Christie endorsed Donald Trump yesterday. One asshole endorsing another. All that’s missing now is for Carly Fiorina to get involved and endorse Chris Christie’s endorsement of Donald Trump. Then … Continue reading

On Facebook yesterday one of my friends initiated this exchange. He wrote: Trump is not Hitler. He’s not even Mussolini. He’s Berlusconi. To which several of his friends replied (see below): Bunga, bunga. Maybe with a little Joe McCarthy thrown … Continue reading

Don’t be Impressed when a Governor tells you how often he’s “Balanced the Budget”
Whenever you hear about how some Governor “balanced the budget eight times as Governor,” you should not be impressed. Why? Because, with a few exceptions, they all have to balance their state budgets. It’s required by their state constitutions. Right … Continue reading
Would Hillary and Bernie ever run on a ticket with Each Other?
A friend recently asked whether I thought there was any chance that Hillary and Bernie would run together, with one of them as the Vice Presidential nominee and the other as the Presidential nominee. For various reasons, I think the … Continue reading
