Trump’s Two Supreme Court Cases Are Connected
In the next week, ex-president and lifetime criminal Donald Trump will have two huge cases before the Supreme Court. The weird thing is, they’re connected in essential ways. The even weirder thing? Our inept news media hasn’t seen or made the connections. But the two cases ARE connected – and the fact that no one’s…

How To Kill A Trumpenstein? Mock It To Death
Stone cold fact: Donald Trump is a monster. He was a corruption monster walking in the door. Handed power, Trump became an even bigger monster and outright danger to democracy.

Alas Our News Media Is Intellectually Lazy And Stupid
There’s a great line in National Lampoon’s Animal House. Dean Wormer stands before our heroes – the boys from Delta House – but he’s focused on Flounder in particular. “Fat, drunk, and stupid,” says Dean Wormer, “is no way to go through life, son.” Dear News Media: think of me as Dean Wormer and you…

In Yiddish, according to Leo Rosten in his essential The Joys Of Yiddish, “schmuck” can mean three things: a penis, a fool or a son of a bitch. Looking around at the various problems pushing humanity to the precipice, I see plenty of penises, fools and SOBs. Plenty of schmucks. Hell, they’ve surrounded us as…

Oh, To Be A Rich, White Sociopath!
Last night Elon Musk demonstrated (yet again) that not only is he a rich, white sociopath, he’s the poster boy for Rich, White Sociopaths! Elon The Rich, White Sociopath Even before he got to last night, Elon has consistently demonstrated a sociopath’s consistent disregard for right and wrong or the rights and feelings of others.…

Is Winning An Election And CHEATING To Win Really The Same Thing?
Here in America, we’ve managed a remarkable piece of gymnastics. We’ve equated cheating to win election with not cheating to win election. Both are just “different ways to run”. In theory, democracy is a marketplace of ideas. The good ideas should, ultimately, succeed while the bad ones fail. The bad idea crowd (like the ones…
