Nothing heavy, but I'm having sort of a weird day. You must remember that my weird is different, probably, from your weird. In any event, it's weird and while it is indeed not heavy, I am lazy. Long story short, the News is going to be late tonight. Right now, the only thing apart from Tropical … Continue reading Monday, November 9, 2020
The Weekend: November 7-8, 2020
It's a whole new world, neighbors, and we're right in the middle of it. Since the last time we looked at The News, Pennsylvania announced for Joe Biden, giving him the election. So long as the electors don't pull anything when they cast their votes on December 15, he'll become the 46th President of the United … Continue reading The Weekend: November 7-8, 2020

It's still not over. Crazy, man. Before we get too deep into it, go read this excellent column by the superlative Leonard Pierce of The Miami Times. In short, reconcile hell. We're still counting the last few votes, but it looks like this one goes to Joe Biden. So not only is Trump the first president to be impeached … Continue reading Friday, November 6, 2020

Man, what a night. I've been following presidential elections since 1984 when Ronald Reagan stomped a mudhole through Walter Mondale in the worst beating I've seen that didn't involve Mike Tyson, and I don't believe I've seen a tighter, more emotionally charged, more nerve-wracking night of down & dirty, gutbucket politics. And maybe what's so … Continue reading Wednesday, November 4, 2020

One more day. I don't know if there's been an election surrounded by as much craziness in my lifetime. Even Bush-Gore 2000 wasn't this crazy and Kerry-Bush 2004 was almost sedate. Obama-McCain 2008 was momentous, of course, but we all felt on the cusp of something amazing. Obama-Romney was rather dull in comparison. Even Trump-Clinton … Continue reading Monday, November 2, 2020
The Weekend: October 31-November 1, 2020
We've got two days left. I honestly don't know how I'm going to approach things. Tomorrow will be easy enough, true, because I doubt the news will slow down. However, I am not real-time blogging the election returns Tuesday. I don't need that kind of stress and doubt writing on Klonopin is all that good … Continue reading The Weekend: October 31-November 1, 2020

Four more days. That's it. It's still a lifetime in presidential politics. But before we get into that mess, if indeed we even do, let's check out Hurricane Zeta. As we noted Wednesday, it made landfall in Louisiana around 4:30 p.m. and then rolled across New Orleans, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and the Carolinas before blowing … Continue reading Friday, October 30, 2020

I like to think there isn't much in the political world that can shock me anymore. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not. After 30 years of adulterers calling for the impeachment of a president over a blowjob, guys on the down-low calling for limiting LGBT rights, the outright hypocrisy of the Republican party cast in … Continue reading Wednesday, October 28, 2020

Just eight more days until the election. Today we're seeing Trump's eldest failson repeat claims that the Clintons employ baby-eating Satanists, a Trump-loving Senate candidate claim without evidence that Hunter Biden's laptop contains pictures of her Democratic opponent's teenage daughter, and the Savior himself claim that the former Mayor of Newark, NJ, never lived in Newark. Gonna be … Continue reading Monday, October 26, 2020
The Weekend: October 24-25, 2020
Just nine more days, man. It's almost over. In less than a fortnight, Election 2020 will be in the can and we can move on to the next level of madness. Of course, it's not going to be as simple as all that. Early voting turnout has been phenomenal, smashing all previous records, and for … Continue reading The Weekend: October 24-25, 2020
Dear Y'all
