A couple of days ago I wrote a post about a day in the life of the 99%. I went through a fictitious day laying out what is happening as we go about our day. That was a very general day that many of us most likely don’t get to live, such as being able… Continue reading A Day in the Life of the 99% Part 2
Checks and Fraud
You thought I was going to write about politics again, didn’t you? Not tonight. I’m taking it a little more personal this evening. It has been a day, and not just because of the Trumpists and the Department of Justice, and not because of the New Hampshire primary. It is about a deposited fraudulent check… Continue reading Checks and Fraud
Dear New Hampshire Voters
Dear New Hampshire Voters, Today, all eyes are on you! After what happened in Iowa, the eyes are probably a little more intense than usual. After all, we want to know who you think is most electable in November. You get to know the candidates much better than the rest of us ever will. Your… Continue reading Dear New Hampshire Voters
A Day in the Life of the 99%
This is a mash-up from the past few months. Time to get up for work. We roll out of our nice comfy bed to get ready. Thousands of children in U.S. detention camps are trying to stay warm under inhumane conditions. It doesn’t matter, they aren’t our children. As we shower, Rudy Giuliani is working… Continue reading A Day in the Life of the 99%
Dear Mayor Pete
Dear Mayor Pete, Full disclosure: You were not my first or even my second choice of candidate for President. Beto O’Rourke was first, Elizabeth Warren was second. Luckily, one of my former coworkers is from South Bend and keep saying I needed to check you out by reading your book. Which I did (actually I… Continue reading Dear Mayor Pete
Patriots Punished by Puerile Protagonist
Today’s post is in honor of three people, two who honored the rule of law and answered subpeona’s, and one who unfortunately became collateral damage. Please thank them for their service and for showing how an honorable citizen behaves.

Damn, Democratic Party Leadership! Get It Together!
I’m starting to wonder if you really want to beat Trump in November, take the Senate, and keep the House, because you sure aren’t acting like it. First, there were 25+ people running for office. That is a whole lot of ego in one field. Hurray, we have a great field from which to choose!… Continue reading Damn, Democratic Party Leadership! Get It Together!
Apathy Be Thy Name and Enemy
Where do you think this protest is taking place? New York? Los Angeles? Chicago? Miami? Columbus? Indianapolis? Don’t we wish! This is a protest, just one day out of month’s long protests in Hong Kong. Their government was trying to take rights away from them and they weren’t having any of it. We have an… Continue reading Apathy Be Thy Name and Enemy
MSM, Take a Lesson
It is quite sad when a member of the press, your peer, is excluded or berated for the simple reason he or she did not bow down to Mr. Trump or one of his lackeys. This has happened not once, not twice, not thrice, but at least four times in recent history. They either lost… Continue reading MSM, Take a Lesson
Time for the Fourth Pillar to Stand-up to Do Right
We are at the point where our Democracy, our Republic, our Country is about to be legally handed over to a tyrant, an authoritarian, a dictator, a Trumpist. The House of Representatives has done its part. Brave witnesses have done their part. Protesters have done a part. Constituents have done their part. Now it is… Continue reading Time for the Fourth Pillar to Stand-up to Do Right
