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?

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

The Moon That Never Rose

We are no longer a shining city on a hill, but a society in measurable, documented decline. No rational person can consider our present circumstances and consider otherwise.

You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

A Plunger! My Kingdom for a Plunger!

Maybe it's time we got the Buccee's people on this. One thing they know about is building toilets.

I'm surrounded by disloyal officers...like Bondi.

Mighty Big Shoes and Banksy Unveiled

They lob insults at each other, immigrants, women, minority groups, the LGBT community, RINOs, and Dems - casting blame for high gas prices, inflation, unaffordable healthcare, skyrocketing Rx prices...yet they're too afraid to tell daddy to stick his Florsheims up his fat, mango-tinted butt.

Two Daiquiris at the Floridita and a Lesson America Never Learned

Latin American nations that have, painfully and slowly, moved past the legacy of all the U.S.-backed coups will have to face a clarity they have been avoiding: nothing has changed, the Monroe Doctrine has simply been rearmed by a man who has said, “I can do anything I want.”

"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.
