For a so-called liberal media, the recent banning of Pink’s Video, Dear Mr. President from both TV and Radio was the latest in a long series of smear campaigns against those who would disagree with the President.
Props to Jimmy Kimmel and his people, who not only had her as a guest on the […]

My ex-brother-in-law Dave and I reconnected lately. He’s the smartest guy I know, the best writer, and one of the best fathers. Dave was always my portal to good things to read from the left. We went separate ways for quite a few years, hence his ex status.

I don’t know how James Carville and Mary Matalin do it. There’s no way I could be in a serious relationship with a Republican. Even if she was hot. A couple well-meaning friends once set me up with a Republican. We had fun until we started talking politics. She wasn’t very […]

A very diverse group of people suggested I check out Donna the Buffalo the next time they came to town. Two of my sixteen year old students, one a hippie chick and the other a metalhead; my retired colleague, now in his mid fifties, and a couple who must have been in their mid […]

The old me: How can there possibly be a difference between eggs other than some are bigger than others, and some are brown. Obviously the brown ones are healthier, simply because they’re brown. Growing up, we actually had an egg-man. Mr. James used to come every Friday night with a couple […]
