It’s Still an Easy Choice

The “Grand” Old Party has, at this point, descended into naked fascism marching in lockstep led by their would-be tyrant. It’s hard to believe it has gone this far. It is mind-bending and disturbing that a large segment of America — apparently blinded by propaganda or willfully ignorant — can’t see the problem. What’s even worse is the sense many indeed agree with the program.

Almost as disturbing is that, even now, many Americans apparently remain undecided. Yet the choice we face becomes clearer every day as the Republican party increasingly drops any pretense of upholding the Constitution or traditional American values.

When it was Biden/Harris, the choice was obvious. Now that it’s Harris/Walz, the choice is even more obvious. I made a scorecard…

Vote Blue, my friends! Go forth and spread beauty and light.


The Harris-Trump Debate

Last night’s debate between Vice-President Kamala Harris and The Convicted Felon was a world apart from the first one with President Joe Biden. It was a clear victory for Harris and just as clear a loss for the Mango Mussolini. He’s never seemed more incoherent or filled with lies than last night.

Those nasty immigrants eating people’s pets in Peoria. Or wherever. It matters not what city it supposedly was — it’s an utter, complete, racist lie. On the sick theory that repeating a lie often enough, no matter how outrageous, can make it believed.

I found Harris’s opponent so hard to listen to that I started beering myself. After the debate, I (drunkenly) expressed myself on the Substack Notes feed. I had a good time venting and thought to share my “tweets” here. WARNING: Language! This is me unfiltered and off-the-cuff.

Inauguration Wow

Today the sun simultaneously set and rose. We had our own democratic version of: “The King is dead! Long live the King!” (An old phrase apt given the deposed would-be kinglet.)

I imagine many of us will go to sleep happier tonight than we have in years.

Two Weeks Later

At long last we can be proud to have humans leading our nation again.

At long last we can finally breath again.

The Big Divide

I keep thinking about the 71+ million Americans who voted against nearly everything American has stood for until the last few years. Our Continental Divide may be beautiful to behold, but our National Divide is an ugly disgrace to normative values.

At least they have been our values until now.

The Big Blue

Fell asleep reading a Nero Wolfe novel and woke up to a new world. Pennsylvania and Nevada called, Arizona still breaking for Biden/Harris…

Pretty nice thing to wake up to!

The Big Delay

Well, we kinda knew this was going to happen, but it’s still a pretty damn dark day for Our Democracy.

There seems reason for optimism, but in these crazy times, who knows how this all shakes out.

The Big Disappointment

It’s official: Based on available data, the resolution to the Fermi Paradox is simply that intelligent life does not exist in the universe at this time.

Life that thinks it’s intelligent does, though. But based on our observations, it has a long way to go. The universe can relax; Earthlings aren’t likely to be a problem to anyone but themselves.


A Better Debate

Our next VP? I sure hope so!

I thought Kamala Harris did very well last night and that the debate was a welcome return to almost normal politics (to the extent politics can ever be said to be “normal”).

In particular, she showed more signs of life than Joe Biden did, and she showed some appropriate emotions towards her opponent.
