Dear Donald Trump – Coming From QUEENS Is No Better Than Coming From Baltimore
Let that sink in for a second — a bloated orange schlub from QUEENS is throwing shade on Baltimore. Screw you, Donald Trump and drop dead (from either the heart attack or the stroke you’ve been working on — it’s time already)! Even coming from Brooklyn has more cachet than coming from Queens FFS. I…

Racism – Like Beauty – Is In The Eye Of The Beholder
Asking a racist if he’s a racist is like asking a stupid person if he’s stupid. Guess how he’s going to answer. In fact, even having to ask if someone’s a racist usually means the person asking the question either IS a racist himself or has no idea what racism is — which means he…

Okay – Let’s Say Donald Trump’s Presidency IS Illegitimate. What’s It Mean…?
Former President Jimmy Carter spoke Truth several weeks back from a rare perch — as a former President Of The United States.

Why America’s News Media Sucks — The “Nicolle Wallace” Exception
By all rights, a left wing loon like me should detest Nicolle Wallace from a thousand miles away. But I adore her. I adore her show, Deadline White House on MSNBC. If you aren’t watching it or listening to it, you’re missing one of the few bright spots in the American News Media firmament —…

Why Our Main Stream News Media Sucks – “Benefit Of The Doubt” Edition
The most frustrating words to tumble from any reporter’s mouth is “Yeah, but what if…?” because what always follows is that reporter giving someone or something the benefit of the doubt it almost assuredly doesn’t deserve. MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhl is a talented financial reporter. But her great still set constantly gets compromised by an incessant…

Why Our News Media Sucks — Steve Kornacki Edition
I consume a lot of news — not so much for the news as because the storyteller in me hates watching the story of all our lifetimes get fumbled so completely by America’s Main Stream News Media. As I’ve blogged here, American journalism is infected with a number of diseases, “Both Sides Do It-ism” being…

Donald Trump Is The American Caligula… That’s Not A Good Thing
Not A Revelation: Donald Trump thinks he’s King… or, in German — “Kaiser” — the Germanification of the name “Caesar”. But Donald Trump is such an incompetent, that he can’t even get being a “Caesar” right. He’s gone and modeled himself after another Roman emperor — Caligula. We keep reaching for the words to describe…

I Made A Terrific New Friend Yesterday — My Diametric Opposite
I am not making this up. I met my diametric opposite a few days ago. We kinda it it off. By yesterday, when we parted ways, I couldn’t get him out of my head. Come the fall, my daughter will matriculate at UC-Davis. Despite the havoc Prop 13 wreaked upon California’s educational system, our state…

Pervs Of A Feather Perv Together: The Goal Of A Sexual Predator Is Destruction Of His Prey — As A Person
I feel like we’re living the opening moments of David Lynch’s movie “Blue Velvet”. We open on a vision of American bliss circa 1955 (or so) — A dad out watering the grass outside his slice of suburbia. The dad clutches his chest suddenly and collapses. As he lies on the ground, helpless, we push…
