Shorter Democratic “socialists”: The Revolution will be postponed
I have to thank the editorial staff at the WashPost for this one: Congress passed up an obvious policy tool to fix wealth inequality, pointing out the utter failure of congressional Democrats to revise our nation’s abysmal “keep the rich folks happy” non-tax on inheritances. As the Post notes, billionaire-bashing folks like Sens. Elizabeth Warren…
Moral, moral, who’s got a moral? Well, Daniel Drezner has one, and I think it’s depressingly accurate.
I so often disagree with Dan that I sometimes try to apologize for it, but his recent post, The war in Ukraine is going badly for everyone, is depressingly spot on. Dan ends his incisive piece with the following grim paragraphs: We have entered a new Cold War, which is not something I say lightly….

Mitt Romney wasn’t “right” about Ukraine. George Kennan was.
What goes around comes around. Or is it the other way around? In either case, I’m talking about bullshit. The latest in recirculated manure comes from Chris Cillizza, writing at Newsweek, It’s time to admit it: Mitt Romney was right about Russia. Back in 2012, the Mittster opined that “Russia, this is, without question, our…
Lawrence Tribe is an idiot
You know Larry Tribe, right? Harvard Law professor, founder of the American Constitution Society and author of American Constitutional Law? Too bad the guy is a motherfucking idiot. Proof of Larry’s motherfucking idiotness comes from a recent “tweet”, to wit: Led by Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson, the GOP’s Trump wing appears to be throwing…
Old 2997
I started this blog back in 2007, and several years later blew past the “1000 Posts” marker without even noticing. I thought that I’d make a note of No. 2000, but somehow missed that one too. Since my new format makes it easy to keep track of the number of posts, I’m determined not to…
Is Joe Biden playing four-dimensional chess in Ukraine?
Well, probably not, but it does look like he’s got a nice three-carom billiard shot at home, bouncing Vladimir Putin off of both Tucker Carlson and Mitch McConnell as a way of exacerbating the friction between the True-Trumpers like Tucker and the “Why Won’t He JUST FUCKING DIE ALREADY!” crowd headed by Mitch himself. If…

My guess—and this is only a guess—is that Mark S. Wrighton, Ph.D. President, The George Washington University, is a motherf*cking idiot
Okay, this is, I repeat, only a guess. Just putting it out there, one might say. But what else can one say when the president of a pretty great American university, right here in Washington, DC, responds to posters criticizing—yes, you read that right, criticizing—the People’s Republic of China for, you know, mercilessly oppressing China’s…
