“Freedom’s just another word for … an excuse to behave badly.” When I saw the accompanying picture from Saturday’s Million Moron March, which I swear must have attracted at least 75 percent of the nation’s village idiots, I really wanted to laugh. I couldn’t, though. Too many flags in one place, conflicting meanings. I’m sort …
So let’s be honest with ourselves. How successful were Democrats in the recent elections? If you saw the election as being all about whether the damage being done by Donald Trump could be stopped, you’ll probably think things went really well. And from that standpoint, they did. Quite a bit of what Trump did by …
“This is not who we are. We’re better than this.” Wow. It looks like Joe Biden was wrong in saying that. As I write this, nearly 70 million Americans have disagreed with you by voting to re-elect Donald Trump. And while it doesn’t look like he will win, Republicans have apparently held onto the Senate …

“These times are so uncertain, there’s a yearning undefined and people filled with rage. We all need a little tenderness, how can love survive in such a graceless age?” Something very strange happened to me this morning. I got out of bed, read the news about Donald Trump testing positively for the Coronavirus and decided …
“Proud Boys, stand back and stand by. But I’ll tell you what, somebody’s got to do something about antifa and the left.” It could have been worse. He could have said there were “very fine people” in the right-wing group that calls itself the Proud Boys. Yes, it could have been worse. But not much. …
