Can We Handle The Truth?

It would be nice to try.

Medical Care

My so-called Cancer Journey

When you walk into a cancer hospital and see the terrible suffering and extreme treatment that many patients have gone through (and are going through), some for years, especially children, then it puts the brakes on the self-pity party.

"Mr. President! They'll See the Big Board!"

Well, kids, here we go thinking the unthinkable.

Are the End Times Near?

Politically and automotively, I'm worried.

The Red Menace

When in doubt, shout "Commie!"

Can We Issue a Red Card now?

Who'd have thought he could screw up both Independence Day and the World Cup in just one weekend.

MAGA

Take Back the Flag

"MAGA took the flag in the same greedy way it has taken everything, loudly and without asking. The Trump movement wrapped itself in the cloth until half the country flinched at the sight of red, white, and blue on a front lawn. Dems and progressives, however, are guilty of letting that happen."

History's Saddest Birthday Party

"69 percent of Americans believe the signers of the Declaration of Independence would be disappointed in the way their democracy turned out. We have arrived at the birthday party, and nearly seven in ten of us are already sorry we came."

Republican Party

It's Juneteenth! Let's Blame Someone!

I mean, come on. We have to have someone to hate.

Are You Ready to Rumble?

"Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?"

You Want the Bad News First, or the Worse News

At least I didn't talk about the "nipple" thing.

Burn Down the Mission

The Trump administration has set aside $1.776 billion in taxpayer money to compensate people convicted of attacking the US Capitol. He pardoned over 1,500 of them, wiped out $1.3 billion in court-ordered restitution they owed their victims, and then built them a tip jar with your money.

Whistling Past the Coal Mine

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

Is Anything Better?

Are you better off than you were a year and a half ago?

Endings

"I’m just going to go on record as saying: They’re lying. Let me just add one other thing... They’re lying weasels."

Oh, Just Shut Up and Play YMCA

After everything that's happened, it took THIS to wake Congress up?

Democans and Republicrats

JFK and Barry would be just a bit out of step.

The First Cowboy Song

A ribbon of chip seal traces the U.S.-Mexico border through an archaeological landscape almost beyond time. Here, where civilization in North America arguably began, the federal government plans to build a wall — an insult to the history embedded in every layer of stone along the Rio Grande.

You've Got to be Carefully Taught

A lot of teaching going on right now.

Flies With Honey

Does anyone think this is working?

Worshipping the Golden Jackasses

The boys who commissioned the statue and put money down couldn't seem to come up with the balance. The artist knew the administration's playbook all too well and hid the sculpture in a warehouse until the balance was delivered and the check cleared.

Yippee-Ki-Yay Wolf Blitzer!

After this, how many anchors and reporters can ABC and NBC hire?

Ben Gets Sassy

Why do we get the truth only at the point of death?

The Autumn of Things

"There was reason to worry that there might be forces that outstripped the power of the Colorado. A short drive downstream, the Exxon oil corporation was investing a billion 1980 dollars to build a town on Battlement Mesa for workers it planned to hire for oil shale recovery."

Trump

Mayhem At The Nerd Prom

Ah, the conspiracies are multiplying like numbers on a gas pump.
