I don't mind the banning of plastic straws. I'm for saving the planet for future generations. Walt Disney and Starbucks have already made the move. Seattle has become the first city to ban them with San Francisco, New York City, Malibu, Miami Beach, and San Luis Obispo making moves to do the same. Reminiscent of... Continue Reading →
Logic From Rudy
Rudy Giuliani has taken on the Trump talking point that collusion is not a crime. This means he, like many other Republicans and Trump sycophants, are OK with treason, cooperating with a hostile foreign government to gain the presidency through illicit means. Collusion by itself is not a crime, but collusion doesn't come alone. It... Continue Reading →
Making Wookie
When I noticed Bigfoot was trending on Twitter, I immediately assumed there was a revelation on the existence of the mythical creature that would soon be debunked. Like millions, or at least several thousand, of others, we were wrong and unexpectedly discovered there is such a thing as Bigfoot erotica. What? The new normal keeps... Continue Reading →
Zuck Needs Some Bucks
Facebook took the biggest one-day drop in history last Thursday, losing $119 billion. Part of the reason is slow revenue growth along with criticism that the social media platform isn't doing enough to regulate itself with fake news by Russian troll farms, abuse of privacy by third parties, politicians in Europe and the U.S. wanting...

Gringo Prices
This cartoon was published July 21, 2018, in The Costa Rica Star. According to the people I talk to in Costa Rica, there are different prices for "Gringos" than there are for "Ticos." It doesn't seem as much of a racial thing (though some may claim it is) as much as it's a "you're not... Continue Reading →
Credible Liars
It takes some serious gaslighting, chutzpah, and cajones to discredit someone while defending Donald Trump by accusing them of being a liar. It's similar to when a Republican congressman pointed out FBI agent Peter Strzok's infidelity while defending Trump. What's next? Going after guys with bad comb overs? A few weeks ago, Rudy Giuliani defended... Continue Reading →
Spending Time With Daddy
Last night's nightly breaking Trump news consisted of Michael Cohen revealing that Donald Trump knew beforehand of Russian spies visiting Trump Tower to dish stolen dirt on Hillary Clinton. The Russians met with Donald Trump Jr., then campaign manager and current jail occupant Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner before the election. Why is this important?... Continue Reading →
Democratic Socialism
I'm not entirely on board with the entire platform of democratic socialism. While I do believe corporations should be subjected to tighter regulations, and profit-sharing by all with their employees would be ideal, I'm not down with government forcing them to share ownership. But, I do believe every American should have access to affordable healthcare,... Continue Reading →
Tarified Farmers
While speaking to the VFW in Kansas City Tuesday, Trump told his followers now to believe what they read and see. So, farmer who voted for Trump, those aren't food stamps in your wallet or frightening socialism in the heartland. They're compensation for your sacrificing in MAGAing. Not only are we "tired of winning," but... Continue Reading →
Paint Job, Con Job, Nut Job
Do you know why fisherman use shiny lures? Because, fish are stupid. Sunday night, Trump tweeted a new distraction to distract us from his treasonous behavior during the Putin summit, or maybe to distract us from his last distraction that his former lawyer/fixer taped their conversation about paying off a Playmate to keep quiet about...
