Gas Prices and Mickey Mouse
As the Cult of the GOP valiantly ignores the ongoing January 6 hearings, its disciples are agreed that all people really care about are gas prices and inflation.

My Father’s Voice
June 21, 2022
My parents were both born in eastern Europe, my father just before and my mother just after World War I. Life was fragile, and especially so for Jews. They each made it to the US, my mother alone at age eight and my father at age 13, with a falsified birth certificate so that he […]

The Paper Chase
May 31, 2022

Doing 75 in a 40 MPH Zone
May 5, 2022
It’s taken me 75 years to get to write this post. I’ve mentally crossed out a lot and reworded a lot during those 75 years. I’ve been surprised, even shocked, at some of what I’ve “written.” “I never would have done anything like that,” I’ve thought on more than one occasion, except of course I […]
Our Political Climate, Explained
April 29, 2022
The political climate, like a baby created by the earth and most people’s weight, goes round and round and up and down. From the dawn of things, it seems doomed to cycles, but sometimes, it’s difficult to make sense of it all. It’s easier to simply not pay attention or to say things like “Everyone […]

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s cell phone rings. MTG grabs an AR-15 and answers the phone MTG: Fuck you if you are a child-predator-Socialist-Commie-mask wearing-Democrat. Anyone else, say your name and give me one reason why I shouldn’t shoot you right through this phone. LB: Marg, so glad to hear you strong and in defense of white […]
