Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
I have written many commentaries effectively ridiculing the culture at Fox News as a cross between those dramatized in The Stepford Wives and Peyton Place. Here for example is what I wrote in “Women Complain Fox News Head, Roger Ailes, Has Dick for Brains,” July 20, 2016: _________ Close friends will tell you that I… Read more.
I headlined my September 5 commentary: “Kavanaugh’s Confirmation as Justice Will Be as Tainted as Trump’s Election as President.” More to the point, in it I declared that only an act of God could derail his confirmation to the US Supreme Court.

Evidently, not since Clarence Thomas tried to woo Anita Hill with tales about “Long Dong Silver” has a man treated a woman so disrespectfully as when President Obama called California Attorney General Kamala Harris beautiful during a Democratic National Committee fundraiser on Thursday.
