That Area Between Black and White
We get into a routine, do our work, keep our homes, take care of our families. Days like today we would take out time to remember, to truly appreciate, the comfort and opportunities we have. We would take a day like today to thank the people who died so that we could take aspects of …
Is it Make America Golf Again? No? “Great?” When was America great? Why isn’t it great now? Okay, dumb question; I know what’s wrong with it now. A year ago, though, there was certainly room for improvement, but we were making noticeable progress. Maybe we weren’t great, but we were pretty damned good and working our …
There’s been a particularly useful new saying making its way around Twitter lately: “Newton’s fourth law: for every trump action there is an equal and opposite trump tweet.” This is a joke, sort of, but start digging in to everything he whines about on Twitter, and compare his tweets with the actions he takes. It looks to …
There’s a bully in Belgium; we sent him there. Our top story on Hate Speech today: what does the Bully-In-Chief/host of the show do when he is concerned he might not be front and center at a photo op for NATO leaders? Don’t be a dick, Donnie. Oops. Too late. Ladies and gentlemen, the example for …

The concept of sins and virtues predates Christianity, but since some of our elected officials, especially lately, believe they have a kind of mandate to turn the United States of America into a theocracy based on Christianity, we’ll stick with that range of religions. Before I go any further, I’m aware that each of these officials wants …
Tweet from the president on Thursday morning, 18 May 2017: “This is the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American History!” – DJT Since Thursday, the “witch hunt” thing has gotten under my skin. I know the guy is an idiot, but still. I mean, he’s 70 years old; he knows what that …
We gave him a chance. He said Mexicans are rapists. I was done right then. Done. You said “no, no, give him another chance.” He said we’ll build a wall on the southern border; he insulted our friends. He bragged “I’m really rich” though he won’t submit income information so we know how wealthy he is …

Some leaders were starting down a dangerous path of hate, greed, and discrimination, and there was talk of fascism slithering into our constitutional republic, of Russian influence in our election and maybe even collusion by our elected officials.
