As a former gigging musician, I can truly appreciate the importance of duct tape. A guitar player will have guitar strings, pedals, straps, cables, picks, set lists, and other assorted musician goodies in his gig bag, but one of the more important essentials is duct tape. What's the specific use of duct tape at a... Continue Reading →
FBI Complicity
People, stupid ones...mostly stupid men, always ask why women don't report sexual abuse more often. The reason they don't isn't because they fear they won't be believed. The reason is because they probably won't be believed. Let's take the case of Larry Nassar. Larry Nassar was a doctor for U.S.A. Gymnastics and a professor at... Continue Reading →

Partisan Groping
As if it wasn't bad enough for Virginia and the state Democrats with two of the top three elected officials revealed to have worn "blackface" in the past, the other one of the three has been accused of sexual assault and now rape. Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax was a rock star until a few days... Continue Reading →
The #SoWhat Movement
It really shouldn't surprise anyone that Republicans are defending Brett Kavanaugh, Trump's Supreme Court nominee who is accused of sexual assault and attempted rape. They've already defended Nazis. Donald Trump says "Judge Kavanaugh is one of the finest people he's ever known," but Trump has known people like Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen, Stephen Miller, Roy... Continue Reading →
Trump’s Twelve A Day

Most doctors, but probably not Trump's, will tell you that this is not a recommended diet for an old geezer. The article says Trump watches eight... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
Him Too
One of the defenses Roy Moore's supporters love to bring up is, why now? It's a better defense than comparing him to Joseph and Mary, or he never did it without the parents' permission, or that some 14-year-old girls can pass for 20, or that all the single women his age were already hooked up,...

Partisan Outrage
When Roy Moore, Alabama's Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate, had a woman accuse him of trying to have sex with her when she was 14, she wasn't alone. Three other accusers joined her. More accusers came out the next day, and the next, and the next. We've hit double digits. You can make a... Continue Reading →
