I don’t see how I can post about politics anymore
I don’t have the heart to say I told you so. The last few days I’ve been getting the same old pleas to call my Senators and Representatives if I live in a Republican state or district, and tell them to oppose the bill that will cut taxes for the rich, slash funding for Medicaid, Continue reading

Her goons put handcuffs on a United States Senator and wrestled him to the ground for daring to confront her with questions. I understand the President’s poll numbers Continue reading

What is at stake in this election
I’m not in the business of making political predictions anymore. That isn’t to say that I don’t have ideas about what will happen, just that I am too well aware of all the things that might happen. The only thing you stand to gain from making these kinds of predictions is a reputation as a Continue reading
