I’m loathe the criticize my brethren in the legit .media, given the weeks of late we’ve had: Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination, the CNN mail bomb attempt, Trump’s revocation of press credentials of any reporter who is multi-syllabic. But I gotta say, press guys, come on. Don’t give into the retardation. Namely: please give us respite …
Well, that round of radiation therapy went pretty well. Turns out that not only is the body an amazing self-righting mechanism, but the body politic is an efficient self-lefting one. Sure, the GOP picked up seats in the Senate, but that was inevitable. We have gerrymandered ourselves into participation trophies in the most antiquated …
“We in America do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate.” — Thomas Jefferson Always be heard.
A good lie is better than a bad truth. Don’t believe it? Your wife buys a dress that looks more like a mumu for a manatee. “Does this make me look fat?” she asks you. The prosecution rests. Stupidly, I’ve passed that tidbit on to several people, including my mother. Now every time I …

Because it’s around 1:50 into the video that she drops a matter-of-fact bombshell. Nothing CNN could have anticipated, or they would have paraded her identity politics front and center. And …
Man, I pray to god there isn’t one. Or, if there is, she isn’t a Jehovah’s Witness. I guess the accurate term would be The Jehovah’s Witness. The reason is simple: I think I offended two of her followers today. I was at my own Mass — in front of the TV on NFL …
Whew. That was close. We almost didn’t survive our final round of political chemotherapy: The confirmation today of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Please understand: I don’t think Kavanaugh should be anywhere near a federal bench. Or a public bench near a bar, for that matter. Brett Kavanaugh deserves to be a stunt …
The test results came back. And the news is not good. We have cancer. Stage 4. This should surprise no one. We’ve been courting political cancer the way smokers court black lung, the way drinkers court rotted livers, the way junk foodies court heart disease. We know exactly the direction we’re headed, do little …
