Operation: Massive Distractstein

Plus, we all dip our beaks in sunny Caracas.

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.

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?

Thankful It's Over - For Now

Political discord: forgiven and forgotten when smothered in gravy.

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."

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.

"What is Truth?"

When "alternative facts" become gospel.

The World Turned Upside Down

OK gang, here's where we are in a nutshell. (Spoiler alert: "King George is dead! Long Live King Trump?")

Let Loose the Frogs of War

With apologies to Shakespeare.

A Soldier's Duty

"I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around the corner, because they was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other. One of them [soldiers] literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, ‘Fuck them kids.’”

Apocalypse? Maybe Now.

Noonan nailed it.

The Mad King

Like an evangelical minister doing coke rails behind the pulpit, Hegseth paced and preached. “No more division, distraction, and gender delusions. No more debris. As I’ve said before, and will say again: We are done. With that. Shit.” And then he gave them 45 minutes of that shit.

I Bless the Rains Down in Africa

By the way, I wrote this entirely with an autopen.

One Nation, Under Gun

To treat Charlie Kirk's fate as inexplicable is to misunderstand the soil from which violence grows in America. In most states, it’s easier to buy an AR-15 than it is to register to vote. We act shocked when those weapons are turned on politicians, activists, or everyday citizens.

The Turkey that Destroyed US Healthcare

The swarthy and sinister RFK Jr, the one who appears every bit as baked - physically and mentally - as that dead brown bird on your Thanksgiving table, is dismantling what's left of America's health care system.

OK, I'll Weigh In

Well, here we go again.

The Way We Were

For the first half of the 20th century, summers were not carefree for children or adults. Swimming pools were often shuttered, playgrounds empty and quiet, and parental dread informed every decision about their children’s activities. The polio virus invisibly stalked the world...

Incoming!

Keeping up with this is is giving me whiplash.

Onward Into the Past

They're taking us backward. How far can they go?

Autocrats in Alaska

"In a sane world, one not run by war-mongers, defense contractors, convicts, corporate media, and giant banking and investment firms, Putin and Trump would have been arrested and detained before their feet touched the red carpet strewn across the tarmac at Alaska’s Elmendorf Air Force Base."
