Fifteen years ago this summer: It is hard for me to believe that just two days ago, on a lovely Friday in the south of France, I stood on one side of the Lot River and took this picture of this village. Saint-Cirq-Lapopie is just a little town in the mountains, but the view is …
Republicans might be the luckiest people in the world. Also the stupidest. As much as Trumpanzees and other Republicans are practically wetting themselves with joy at the thought of their guy being immune from prosecution for almost any act he might take as president, they seem to be forgetting on thing. Their guy isn’t president. …
The Supreme Court says presidents have “absolute” immunity for clearly official acts, but no immunity for unofficial acts. The best thing to be said about the Supreme Court’s ruling on immunity for Donald Trump is that it could have been so much worse. Much of what Trump is on trial for would not fall under …

It’s a meaningless number for several reasons, but if we were to assume it’s real, there are 330 million …
I’m relatively certain this will annoy some of my right-wing readers. You have right-wing readers? I must. Well, one or two. I think Louisiana is making a big mistake requiring public schools to post the Ten Commandments for everyone to see. First of all, it’s unconstitutional, although there’s no guarantee that the present Supreme Court …
“What if Earth is the Alabama of the universe?”— Comedian KATHLEEN MADIGAN I was watching the director’s cut of a movie I really love, a movie that makes a similar point as the line by one of my favorite comedians. “The Abyss” is one of James Cameron’s most underrated movies, an undersea adventure in which …

“Here’s to the land you’ve torn out the heart of, Mississippi find yourself another country to be part of.” It was the summer of 1964, the first one after President Kennedy was murdered in Texas. It was June 21, the day spring turned to summer. It was Freedom Summer, when kids came south to help …
