Republicans have lied forever
I just read a Substack piece by Glenn Kessler, who worked at The Washington Post the same time I did (yes, I did edit his copy back then), and this piece of GOP perfidy from the late 20th century jumped out at me: In 1993, Bill Clinton pushed through Congress a massive budget bill designed…

Let’s play, ‘If Obama …’
Remember when MAGA (née Tea Party) morons freaked out over Barack Obama doing things like … oh, I don’t know … fist bumping with his wife? Or how about when he wore the infamous tan suit? Remember how those were the most horrible things that defaced the noble office of the presidency? So let’s play…

GOP in disarray (it’s about time)
Republicans in Kentucky’s 4th congressional district, which is currently represented by Thomas Massie, aren’t happy. Is this a sign MAGA fever is breaking? (From the CJ): A popular Republican dinner in Northern Kentucky was canceled at the last minute – prompting some Republicans to declare that voters are ‘unenergized’ after a divisive Trump-induced congressional primary.…

A Yom Kippur message
This message was released yesterday by Zach Dembo, who is running as a Democrat for the congressional seat now held by Garland Hale Barr IV, who in turn is running for the seat of Schrödinger’s senator, Mitch McConnell. Let’s not forget that Dembo is running against MAGA Trump sycophant Ralph Alvarado, who, after getting on…

MAGA doesn’t care if the Orange Menace lies to them
What does the current presidential administration have in common with professional wrestling? Well, a cabinet officer used to run pro wrestling, and will probably go back to that job (or to jail like other cabinet stooges) when this nightmare of a presidency is over. And, the photo at the top is real. The Orange Menace…

Myth of the post racial society
Just looking at this map of the ethnicities that dominate each U.S. county and realize that just based on this map, there should be far more minority representation in Congress and in state legislatures in general. What this map tells me is that a great number of Americans have no representation at all, because racist…

The cat’s out of the box
Well, Schrödinger’s senator, Mitch McConnell, showed up at Capitol Hill yesterday after going missing for more than three months. According to the New Republic: What would you think if your senator went nearly 100 days without speaking publicly? It’s been over three months since we have heard Senator Mitch McConnell’s voice, after he was found…

Why does MAGA fall for this?
The cartoon above shows how easy it is to manipulate MAGA devotees. Their worship of their incontinent Orange conman, rapist, felon, racist leads them to parrot the most inane stupidity ever spewed by an American president, and this president is the one that has spewed the most. But why is MAGA so venomous? Perhaps this:…

The Bluegrass Blues Podcast: Episode 32
Driving from Paradise Found to Paradise Lost; MAGA politicians think (and say) their constituents are idiots; Democrat faces a DINO in the Louisville mayor’s race; racism behind a local data center; a Bluegrass philosopher’s take on technology; how citizens can get involved in coming elections, and finding entertainment in bugs and sports. We make references…

Data center plan reflects Louisville racism
There’s a lot to unpack on the rush by Louisville Mayor (and Trump quisling) Craig Greenberg and his developer-political funders to build a data center in the western part of Louisville. (That’s the planned site in the above photo.) But first, let’s listen to an expert on the strategy by tech bros and their developer…
