Let’s take it one idiotic suggestion at a time — Here we are again, in the days immediately following another school massacre, listening to the usual list of bullshit suggestions on how to make the kids safer. The same nonsense is being trotted out by the same gun-loving political hacks, and I have had enough. ENOUGH. Let’s take these stupid…

Did lockdown drills save these massacred babies? — Here we are again. AGAIN. Dead children, massacred in their classrooms by a young white guy with a fucking gun. I do not care what his motive was. I do not care what his background was. I do not give one tiny shit what his mental health status is or…

Corporate greed wins the day again — So here we are in the United States of America, the “greatest country in the world,” and we can’t feed our babies. What the absolute heck, kids? How in the world did this happen? Well, let’s start at the beginning, shall we? First of all, who makes the formula that…

The two-party system is a disaster — I’m sorry, but by now, I think that everyone in this stupid country should have realized that you absolutely CANNOT have only two parties to choose between.

If you think more guns mean more safety, you’re ignoring the facts — “All we need is a good guy with a gun.” “My gun is for self-defense.” “Responsible gun owners shouldn’t be punished for what criminals do.” Please. Please spare me the self-serving bullshit. I live in Massachusetts. We are a relatively gun-secure state. To carry a gun here in the Commonwealth…

She’s eminently unqualified — My head is exploding. Truly. I have been watching the testimony of Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia. This is an evidentiary hearing before a judge, held because a number of constituents want her to be disqualified from running for re-election, based on her participation in the insurrection on January 6th. …
