Fill 'Er up! No, Wait...

This little adventure is worth every penny, eh?

Why We Fight...Oh, Hell, Who Knows?

So, really. Where is this going?

International Politics

The Historic Mindlessness of Americans

"American politicians routinely describe Iran as a rogue state, an irrational actor, an existential threat. What they rarely do is connect that behavior to its historical origins, because doing so would require a reckoning with American responsibility that domestic politics makes nearly impossible."

War

Operation Epstein Fury

Iran will no doubt retaliate by bombing the FBI filing cabinet.

Big Bend

The Border Wall and All Y'all

You cannot find a breathing soul out in the Big Bend region who wants a wall. Elected officeholders, Republican and conservative, see it as a disaster, economically and aesthetically.

Our Lady of Eternal Rationalizations

It all seems so obvious, except it apparently isn't.

Mean Girls 3

Seriously, people. How stupid does it have to get?

Trump

The Lion Sleeps...In Meetings

What! What? Trump is racist? Call the Washington Post, if anyone is still there.

Trump

Shittz and Giggles

The absurdity of it all jumps in front of you, and you have to laugh just to keep from committing a violent crime.

Drinking From a Fire Hose

It's frankly impossible to keep up.

ICE

and now the ICEholes are killing white people

That's right, ladies. The age of chivalry is quite dead. And you may be too if you're one of those woke, wine moms and decide to wave a sign or scream at our fine protectors of freedom (and pedophiles).

So, How's It Going?

To quote the late Queen..."Annus Horribilis."

Trump

Greenland? Really?

And it isn't about defense. Just like Venezuela wasn't about democracy. Or narcotics. What could it be then?

Trump

Nothing New Under the Gun

From the moment Teddy Roosevelt decided the Panama Canal was his personal shortcut to empire, the American narrative in Latin America has been a masterclass in saying one thing and doing another.

War

Operation: Massive Distractstein

Plus, we all dip our beaks in sunny Caracas.

Trump

The Lucky and the Deranged

One prominent group of TDS sufferers are the Mar-a-Lag-Hos. These are the botoxed, siliconed, stretched, tightened, filled, and puffed ladies and gentlemen who wander the red-carpeted halls of the Trump resort and sometimes the White House.

Trump

When Science and Civility Are Gone

If it's the Kennedy Memorial Center, don't you have to be dead to put your name on it?

Holidays

Thankful It's Over - For Now

Political discord: forgiven and forgotten when smothered in gravy.

Trump

Take that, Oslo!

Someone wake the President! He got a prize.

Trump

American Madness

"He continues to exhibit a toxic vanity. His self-involved, insensitive remarks are now totally normal stuff from this abnormal human. This used to be an America where presidents measured themselves against history. Trump manages to make a dead soldier’s funeral about his own perceived greatness."

Trump

Praise the Lord and Pass The Ammunition...

It's all coming undone.

Another Week in Paradise

Even inter-cranial parasites have only so much tolerance.

OK, Now We're Just Winging It

When panic causes mistakes.

The Real Horror of the Epstein Story Isn’t the Crime—it’s the Indifference. (A Personal Story.)

Children who suffer sexual abuse are forever changed, their brains literally physically altered by their experiences. Meanwhile, the many, many men (and women) who abused them will feel no impact.

Hey! I Put Out the Fire! (I started)

Just when I think I'm out, they drag me back in.
