Let’s Try Not to Get Sick
It is possible, maybe probable, that in less than a year, this country will re-elect the worst President in its history after he has been impeached. This raises an obvious and fundamental question - does democracy, the way we now do it, still work? I don’t claim to have a definite answer, but the question … Continue reading Let’s Try Not to Get Sick
Mitch Kangaroo And His Court
Everybody understands that impeachment is a political affair. The standards that try to insure fairness in other legal proceedings don’t have to apply. But, come on. Aren’t there limits to how unfair it can be? This week, we have heard from some of the Senators who will soon serve as “jurors.” Here’s what they’ve said. … Continue reading Mitch Kangaroo And His Court
A Dangerous Negative Pregnant
Reading over the Articles of Impeachment as released today, I am struck by the way the Democrats structured them.

Devin’s Inferno
Devin Nunes was walking to his car in the parking lot of a Washington restaurant after having dinner there with Jim Jordan. Over steak and large glasses of great Russian vodka, the two shared thoughts on how to continue their defense of President Trump in the Impeachment hearings. Nunes smiled to himself recalling the new and … Continue reading Devin’s Inferno
The Legacy of the Despicable
Despicable people infect history with loathsome side effects. The despicable things they directly do are hateful, but they end. They leave behind, though, a legacy that lasts. Take Hitler. (Let me re-phrase that – no one wants to “take Hitler). Hitler is an example. His very name is synonymous with evil. When Hitler lived, his family … Continue reading The Legacy of the Despicable
Don’t Get Your Hopes Up
The public Impeachment hearings begin next week. Don’t get your hopes up. All we have heard so far are the digested summaries from the talking heads. The transcripts have been posted all right, but how many people have read them? There is a great deal of difference between the highlights presented by one side - either side … Continue reading Don’t Get Your Hopes Up
