Why the GOP and the Economist are full of crap, Nov. 23
I need to have this handy for all the dickheads, usually right-wing economists and their flunkies, when they attack the Green New Deal or environmental legislation that allegedly kills jerbs! None of it will matter if we’re dead and/or slowly … Continue reading

Something Amerika would have a stroke over seeing

Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond
I finally finished a book! We all (including myself) thought I’d get a bunch read during Covid. No luck. I was really guilty of starting a few, then getting bogged down, forgetting to continue and then losing all the momentum … Continue reading

Welcome to July 2022
Phew! We just got through the hottest June on record and now we’re headed full speed into the broiler with July. Note how the Climate Deniers/Right have changed their position from “it’s not happening,” to, “we’ll have to live with … Continue reading

Sen. Mansion saying “no” wasn’t a shock
What’s really sad is how the Establishment Dems have called the Squad and Bernie supporters the naive ones. Meanwhile, the old farts who won’t have to live with the consequences have failed the human race once again. Thanks to their … Continue reading
