Lindsay Graham has an opinion on who the next Pope should be…. Graham is little more than an obsequious toady. He manages to get a “Trump 2028” in there, too. Malcolm Tucker deserves the last word…

The Madness of King Donald
America has no king.America needs no king. Seen on the official White House Twitter feed. Donald Trump, calling himself a king. A king. Donald Trump increasingly reminds me of Denethor. As he threatens our nearest neighbors, as he covets lands governed by our allies, as he spurns decades-long alliances and parcels up territory not hisContinue reading “The Madness of King Donald”
Public Service Announcement
This blog will not comply with the Gulf of Mexico nonsense out of the White House. This blog will never refer to Greenland as “Red, White, and Blueland.” Things have names. We will continue to use the proper, historical names. This blog will not abandon reason for madness.
Empathy Is Not a Sin
A deacon of a church in Utah weighs in on the prayer service at the National Cathedral to mark the inauguration of convicted felon Donald Trump as president of the United States where Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde exhorted the president to show mercy on migrants and the LGBTQ community. Let me reiterate the Community NoteContinue reading “Empathy Is Not a Sin”
Seen About Town
I went out to my Beetle to retrieve a box from the trunk. A fat squirrel was dragging the remnants of a neighbor’s Halloween pumpkin across the parking lot. He froze, unable to decide if he should stay with the pumpkin or bolt, and it was clearly a tough decision; the pumpkin was almost asContinue reading “Seen About Town”
Election Day
I voted before work this morning. I live in one of those lauded-slash-dreaded swing states. There was a time–2008? 2012?–I wanted Ohio nuked from orbit. It was the only way to be sure. Now I want myself nuked from orbit. I registered to attend a Kamala Harris rally in Harrisburg last week, but didn’t go.Continue reading “Election Day”
Life in Pennsyltucky, An Occasional Series
Neighbor, I don’t believe Joe Biden will be visiting our fair burgh so you can have hot monkey sex — no doubt Jill would object — but if that’s your thing, who am I to judge? Seriously, though, it wasn’t Joe Biden who stole top secret nuclear secrets and kept them in bankers boxes atContinue reading “Life in Pennsyltucky, An Occasional Series”
Recent Tweetery
Some recent tweets that I enjoyed writing. Twitter falls into the memory hole so quickly, and maybe someday I’ll want to return to these. Okay, probably not. But for a minute or two, this is what I was thinking at the time.
A Day at the Park
Only two weeks ago there was snow. Today, it reached 75 degrees. And, since it was a Thursday — and thus, my weekly department conference call — I decided the best way to take that conference call was at the park up the street. No, literally. It’s up the street. It’s five blocks (I justContinue reading “A Day at the Park”
Deadline Week
This has been a week. Honestly, the month where we offer the year’s Free Comic Book Day books is always a rough one. Usually, it’s something that’s done around Thanksgiving (the January catalog goes to press the first week of December), but with a later Free Comic Book Day in 2021, it was this month,Continue reading “Deadline Week”
