Usually, a president takes his power to pardon very seriously. They take recommendations from the Justice Department after they've studied a case for at least two years. Typically, pardons come at the end of a presidential term. Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama didn't issue one pardon between them during their first two years.... Continue Reading →
After Roseanne blamed Ambien for her racist tweeting, I made a joke in yesterday's blog that the drug will need to place on its warning label; "May cause racist tweeting." Sure enough, after I did that, the company that makes Ambien, Sanofi US, issued a statement which read, "People of all races, religions and nationalities... Continue Reading →
I've said it here before and I'm going to say it again. I don't know who said it first, and maybe someone will inform me (update: I've been informed it was Maya Angelou. I knew that and forgot it). But, when someone tells you who they are, believe them. As you see people deflect and/or defend... Continue Reading →
The United States government has been separating immigrant children from their parents in Trump's New World Order of Chaos and Uncaring. Just in case that's not heartless enough, they've also lost track of nearly 1,500 children who crossed the border alone (that is, unaccompanied by adults). Christian conservatives are outraged.

Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein did not get the Hollywood red-carpet treatment when he entered a New York City courthouse to face charges of raping one woman and forcing another to perform oral sex. Instead, he entered wearing handcuffs. Three pairs in fact, because he's kind of a big guy. It was being a big guy... Continue Reading →
This cartoon was published in The Costa Rica Star on May 11, 2018. That's almost two weeks ago and I'm very late with sharing it here. Oops. I figured I better get it up because the new cartoon for this week is about to drop at their site. The new president of Costa Rica is... Continue Reading →
Usually, when a president, or any politician, argues for or defends a position, they use details of the subject. They will use facts while also omitting details that hurt their argument. Sometimes they'll even lie. Every politician lies. What Donald Trump does with lies isn't just different, it's dangerous. Trump does not argue details or... Continue Reading →
After the NFL released their ruling Wednesday that they are banning kneeling during the American national anthem and will fine anyone who does so, Vice President and chief kisser of the orange rumpus, Mike Pence tweeted, "Today’s decision by the @NFL is a win for the fans, a win for @POTUS, and a win for...
