What Is Blind Lemur Conservatives?
S.311 – Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act
The idea that 44 sitting US Senators voted to not protect babies who survive attempted abortions is abhorrent. Much like the Democrats march towards open advocacy of infanticide, this is the kind of thing that turns the stomach. But it didn’t fucking happen. I made that big, so read it again. It. Didn’t. Fucking. Happen. […]
More On Jussie Smollett
Quick note – spell check knows his last name. That says something. Anyway, breaking this morning is that Mr. Smollett not only paid friends to stage an attack, but also sent the ‘suspicious letter’ the week before. The letter is going to be the main problem, as it is not only potentially violations of various […]
Forgiveness
When do sins ‘fall off’? This has become a topic of discussion in American politics, with the revelation that the Governor of Virginia, Ralph Northam, appears in either blackface or KKK robes in his college yearbook; the Lt. Governor, Justin Fairfax, stands accused of the nebulous term ‘sexual assault’ (the one account made fully public […]
Green New Deal
Introduced yesterday in both the House and Senate (identical text, so far as I can tell), the self-proclaimed “Green New Deal” is the sort of red meat that is designed to freak out the Republicans, energize and rally the neo-socialist and progressive Democrats, and send a shot across the bow of the establishment Democrats who […]
The Jussie Smollett Saga
2AM January 29th. Chicago, IL. It is about 6 degrees out. Possibly cooler based on location (the official readings are taken about 15 miles NW of where this story begins). According to Jussie Smollett, who is on the show ‘Empire’ on Fox (which I have never watched nor been interested in watching, so I had […]
The Erasure of Monica Rambeau
Who? Monica Rambeau, the second Captain Marvel, after the death of the Kree Captain Mar-Vell in 1982. Monica took on the name from 1982 to 1996. After her came Genis-Vell (original’s son), Phyla-Vell (daughter), Khn’nr (Skrull), Noh-Varr (for like one storyline), then Carol Danvers in 2012. 2012. But, I hear you saying, they also erased […]
Rushing To Condemn
I stayed off Twitter on Sunday. Less as an intentional action, and more as I just didn’t check it because I didn’t think about it. So this morning, when I saw the counter of unread posts, I knew one of two things had happened – either William Shatner (@williamshatner) had been really bored, or an […]
State of Trump’s Union
He shall from time to time give to Congress information of the State of the Union and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient. — Article II, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution Doesn’t say how. Or where. In fact, from Thomas Jefferson through to Woodrow Wilson, 1801 – 1913, […]
Shutdown Theater
Without going into causes, the government shutdown has been a fascinating example of why we need to reform the system, possibly by firing with prejudice everyone in the current system. First, if the essential functions of government can continue with around 380,000 workers (out of about 2.1 million total federal employees) laid off, then are […]
Friends & Enemies
Few things irk more than defending a public figure. They should, especially when they sought that public status, be prepared and able to defend themselves. Or hire people whose skill lies in that field. But then, Trump. Where there is a level of derangement in the media and culture that would, in any other context, […]
