When the Big Tent Sucks
I don’t like Republicans. I never have. I was raised to think of them as the social and political enemy of my kind, the Democrats, but just because I’m not fond of all Republicans in general, doesn’t mean I extend … Continue reading

Out Of Ideas
Eric Cantor’s “ideas factory” has closed after one year, one meeting, and zero ideas. Republicans have nothing left but fear, lies, and loud noises.
Choosing Not To Choose
Senator Lindsey Graham explains his holdup of the bipartisan climate bill: “Moving forward on immigration — in this hurried, panicked manner — is nothing more than a cynical political ploy,” Graham said. “Let’s be clear, a phony, political effort on … Continue reading
