Agent Orange hovers above us as a cloud of fatal poison. I speak not of the chemical weapon. I speak, instead, of our President. His various atrocities are destroying our country just as surely as that biological system devastated Vietnam. Any exercise in listing his disgraceful behaviors would be counterproductive.

It’s All About the Brand, ’bout the Brand, ’bout the Brand
It’s all about the brand. There are two present examples that demonstrate the truth of this assertion. One has been where branding has been used to great effect, and this is by the bad guys – the Republicans. The other is where branding has been used to horrible effect, and that’s by the good guys … Continue reading It’s All About the Brand, ’bout the Brand, ’bout the Brand

Some Stuff That Just Might Happen
With so many of today’s actual events sounding as if they were made up by someone who’d just gobbled down too many gummies, it is hard to know what really is happening and what isn’t.

Epstein and Guthrie
At first blush, two of the main stories in this week’s news have nothing in common. I speak of the Epstein files and the sad kidnapping of Savannah Guthrie‘s mother.

Then, of course, they are alleged to have used that information to make money. The Justice Department made a big deal out of this. Televised … Continue reading Hey Kash – Follow the Real Cash
The “I” Word
MAGA has made it toxic to merely mention the “I” word – “Impeachment.” They have so often and so viciously condemned the prior Impeachments of Orange Julius (“O.J.”) that suggesting we go through it again will necessarily be greeted with guffaws. Well, fuck them. It is time to again consider Impeachment and as a real … Continue reading The “I” Word
A Few Conclusions for a Few Questions
