So much in so little time

So much happens in any single day in this POS’ administration that it’s hard to keep up. We forget his last stupid thing because he’s already gone on to say or do something even more outrageous. So let’s pick the best of the past few days.

Let’s start with POS Jr. getting divorced. Like father, like son, right? First, congrats to his wife on waking up one day and realizing what a horrible mistake she made by marrying into this family from hell. Then boo to this same woman for having five children by POS Jr. thus ensuring that these Continue reading →

The Republicans are strangely silent

Our national debt is now over $11 trillion. This is partly due, of course, to the Republicans need to fill the coffers of their biggest supporters through a tax plan that gives to the rich and takes from the poor in the form of reduced funding for those programs that provide safety nets for our most vulnerable populations.

Now if this had been happening  under Obama, the Rs would be rioting in the streets over fiscal irresponsibility and the need to rein in government spending. But for so long as they are placing this country in unbelievable debt for their Continue reading →

Not to worry

We won’t be skipping a month. We have our school shooting for March under our belts now. Can’t wait to see what April brings.

As a nation, we have truly lost our minds when some shithead whose penis is so small he needs weapons to feel big gets more protection than high school students just trying to learn French verb tenses.

Way to go, NRA.. And just out of curiosity, how many kids have to die before it occurs to you that too many have? Continue reading →

My heart breaks

Just got word that our Bird TLC family lost one of its dearest members. Hal, an education eagle that had been with us for thirty years, passed away on Sunday morning after thrilling people at our Bird TLC auction just the night before.

Hal was one of our most capable and entrancing ed eagles. His initial injuries as a very young bird precluded his release back to the wild. So he spent his life as an ambassador to our world from his. He was one helluva an ambassador too. When his eyes focused on you, it was as if he Continue reading →

So now we don’t respect the law?

As long as I can remember (and I’m a baby boomer from the very beginning of the boom so I’ve been around for a while) the Republican Party has stood as the party of law and order and respect for the men and women who serve to protect us. Now I find out that the FBI is full of lying sacks of shit who can’t be trusted as far as we can throw them. Yep, the new Republican Party seems to be a party of chaos and misdirection in its efforts to keep Russia from ever entering the front door Continue reading →

Are you kidding me?

Let me see if I have this straight before my head explodes.  The POS currently sullying the White House wants the Russian investigation ended and seems willing to fire everyone standing in his path on the issue. Meanwhile, the NRA is being investigated for taking money from foreign nationals… read Russians… to give to the Trump campaign. Yes, the same NRA whose butt Trump has firmly stuck his nose up.

Now just for a moment, imagine the president’s name is, I don’t know, let’s say Obama (God don’t we all wish!) and all this was happening. The Republicans’ heads would Continue reading →

An interesting question

A friend of mine had a dinner party in which the husbands of two friends spent a good part of the evening drinking and commiserating on how terrible it is to be a white man in American today because they are so abused and misunderstood and denied their rightful place in society. My friend could only listen for so long before she got up and left. Before leaving, she looked at these two white men and asked them if they were so unhappy bearing the burden of being a white man in American today, then what color would they prefer Continue reading →

Seriously

If the Anchorage Daily News gets any thinner, it would probably be cheaper for them to just pay someone to go around and tell subscribers what the news is. I understand that they are going through a readjustment but so far, much of the adjustment just stinks. The remnants of their editorial page is just pathetic. Ask Amy anchoring a news or obit page is simply wrong. And why they even bother with the page of national and international news that they hide somewhere amidst the classifieds is just stupid.

C’mon, guys. At a minimum put out some money for Continue reading →

Voting by mail

So I did it. I just mailed in my first vote by mail ballot. And it was, as they promised, soooooo easy.

I think what I liked best is that I could fill it out while sitting at my desk near my computer. Each time I hit a slate of candidates and wasn’t sure of who I should vote for, I just went online and read their material and then voted. Way cool. Continue reading →

The number is $18 billion

$18 billion – the estimated cost of constructing a wall to keep immigrants out of America or, if this administration continues down its hate filled, pussy grabbing ways, to keep Americans from fleeing to Mexico.

My question is how the wall will effectively increase security on all the tunnels being used from Mexico to the US.  Also, does the POS currently sullying the WH really think that someone in Mexico won’t enjoy the challenge of building a contraption that gets you over the wall and down the other side? Or is that his plan so that border patrol agents can Continue reading →
