Back Channels To The Kremlin
If Vladimir Putin has a “battle plan” in mind, it goes by the title “All Or Nothing”. Was Putin merely sabre rattling when he put nukes on the table? Or was he being brutally honest: if this doesn’t end the way he wants, he’s perfectly happy to take the whole world with him? Considering Putin’s…

White Supremacy Is The Thing Conservatives Really Want To Conserve
I take conservatives at their word. Well, at their name: conservatives want to conserve. Fair enough. The obvious question is “what”. WHAT do conservatives want to conserve? Just to narrow it down – we know it can’t be the future, it doesn’t exist yet. There’s nothing to conserve. That limits conservable things to the present…

There’s No Such Thing As “Alternative Reality” – There’s ONLY Reality & Those Who Refuse To Live In It
Republicans are like the Calvin character in Bill Watterson’s brilliant comic strip “Calvin & Hobbes” – except without any of the charm, innocence, humor or likeability.

Donald Trump has handed our press not merely a smoking gun, but a smoking thermonuclear…

The Only Problem With The Rule Of Law Is That It Can’t Enforce Itself
A great idea is only that – a great idea – until somebody drags it kicking and screaming into reality. Inventions don’t invent themselves. An engaged, sentient mind must do the inventing. Humans aren’t the only intelligent creatures capable of “inventing” things. Prior to the first beaver building its first dam, no such thing existed.…

Is Vlad Putin Auditioning To Be The Next Bond Villain?
Like it or not, world, we’re gonna have a new – and very different – James Bond. It goes without saying that our new Bond is gonna need new Bond Villains to match his/her/their/its particular newness. Gone are the Bloefelds of yesteryear! Forget about the Dr No’s and the Goldfingers. They’re cute but, in the…
