We all know the real war on Xmas is being waged by capitalism and consumerism, the evil twins that will eventually ruin us all. Stores started setting up their Xmas displays before Halloween this year. Next year, I expect them to start on Labor Day. But the Xtian martyrs don’t want to be martyrs to capitalism. They insist they’re being killed by…[Read more]

Note to Liz: learn to sidestep the question and sound better doing it. Say you need to look at it more closely because there are details missing, confusing provisions, unclear language, misplaced commas, etc. Say you need to speak with the bill’s sponsors before making specific comments.

I believe it. Campaign staffers are natural-born toadies and sycophants. They shield the Great One from any bad news. They compete with each other as gatekeepers, to see who can exert the most control over the flow of information. They are disgusting.

Sixteen?

Let’s do this the easy way. Anyone not running for president, raise your hand. Anyone? Anyone?

Catch 22 by Joseph Heller is my next guess.

Mark Twain’s Letters from Earth?

Hillary does not have to enter a single primary contest. She can wait for a deadlocked convention and offer Herself as a “savior.” Unlikely, but possible.

Okay. Just tax the evil billionaires. Offer a big exemption for niceness. That might stimulate a move to pay employees a living wage, not move banking offshore, deal fairly with unions, etc. I could go for that.

Caption the photo. “What are you pointing at, Joe?” “I’m pointing to the exit, Pete.”
