After Trump fired his National Security Adviser Michael Flynn (after being on the job for only 24 days), he tweeted that he fired him for lying to Vice President Mike Pence. On Saturday, a tweet went out from Trump's Twitter account stating he fired Flynn, not just for lying to Pence, but also for lying... Continue Reading →
Ugly NY Cell Towers
I meant to post this last week. Oops. I drew this cartoon for The Highlands Current in upstate New York. People there do not like ugly cell phone towers. Of course, this cartoon was published before Thanksgiving. I am not a Christmas person. I do enjoy seeing homes decorated and my neighborhood is lit up... Continue Reading →
Ask Me Anything
AMA Feed (Ask Me Anything) approached me and asked me to do a question and answer session at their site. I haven't done something like this in a while and it sounds like fun, so I said sure. We're going to do this Monday night, but you can submit questions at their site now. You... Continue Reading →
Flynn Flam
Donald Trump asked then FBI Director James Comey to drop the bureau's investigation of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. Trump did this because Flynn "is a good guy." Trump did not want the investigation stopped because Flynn is a good guy. He wanted it ended because of what Flynn knows. Trump has asked Senators... Continue Reading →
Trump Train Trolls
Back in the old normal, journalists never referred to a politician as a liar. They were either wrong, mistaken, misinformed, misspeaking, or incorrect. That changed with Donald Trump as the man continues to repeat lies after being told they're lies. Trump and his sycophants don't just lie where you can say it's their viewpoint. They...

Lauer’s Lousy Weather
Morning news shows like ABC's Good Morning, America and NBC's Today Show isn't really my thing because they're a bit too fluffy for me. I alternate between CNN's New Day and MSNBC's Morning Joe, depending on which one is annoying me less. Even though I don't watch the Today Show and never had strong opinions... Continue Reading →
O’Keefe’s Petard
James O'Keefe is a conservative provocateur who has spent years trying to prove liberals and those who report the news are just as horrible, unethical, and dishonest as he is. It doesn't matter to conservatives that each time he's released the results of one of his sting operations that it's always packaged with lies. O'Keefe... Continue Reading →
The Queen’s Harry Situation
I don't know that much about royalty and succession. The whole Duke of whatnot, Earl of whatever, and Prince of blaggityblag confuses me. My own family tree confuses me. I really don't have that much interest in it. Royal watchers are excited about the engagement of Prince Harry. What is unique about Harry's engagement is... Continue Reading →
Trump’s Pocahontas Time
Most American presidents spend Thanksgiving weekend visiting troops, dishing out soup to the homeless and generally refraining from douchey behavior. Donald Trump set out to make this Thanksgiving the douchiest ever in the history of American presidents. I think he succeeded. George W. Bush once spent Thanksgiving in Iraq with American troops. Trump went to... Continue Reading →
Congressional Booty
We do not send our representatives to Washington to use their positions to commit sexual harassment. And, when they do and have to settle their workplace disputes, we should not be the ones financing their settlements. In the early 90s, there was a scandal over members of the House and Senate bouncing checks at the... Continue Reading →
