Come Heller high water … Congressional Republicans are treating the Trump/Zelensky memo like it’s a particularly hard “Where’s Waldo?” Gosh, they just can’t find a quid pro quo anywhere! Let me help. Trump: “I will say that we do a lot for Ukraine. We spend a lot of effort … [Read more...]
Come Heller high water … the ‘Wanted: Congressional backbones’ edition
Come Heller high water … After Corey Lewandowski did everything short of mooning the House Judiciary Committee during his rancorous testimony, Democratic Chairman Jerrold Nadler said he was so gosh-darn mad he was “considering” holding him in contempt. Considering? Why are … [Read more...]
Jarts and vaping are bad but you know what’s worse?
People who know me know my lifelong obsession with Jarts. If you’re younger than 40, you probably have no idea what those are. They were – and are – the world’s best lawn game, consisting of two plastic rings placed 20 or so paces apart into which you lob Jarts, which are … [Read more...]
Come Heller high water … the ‘Ohmygod, summer’s ending’ edition
Come Heller high water … There are no fence-sitters on Line 5, including me. I’m squarely on the side that says oil and water don’t mix. It makes no sense to risk the Great Lakes based on the word of a company with a lousy record of keeping oil and gas, you know, actually … [Read more...]

Come Heller high water … the Andy does summer edition

Flint column: Government operated in secret isn’t government at all
Hey, Genesee County taxpayers: You just lost $150,000, got nothing for it, and the governmental body that gave it away isn't going to tell you why. Nice, huh? The board in question is the Bishop Airport Authority, which most people don't even know is a city/county board, … [Read more...]
Here’s the only real solution to our gun addiction
We could easily start to cool the mass shooting fever that has gripped America. It isn’t rocket science. We could, for instance: Ban assault weapons and define the term broadly. The assault weapon ban that Congress let lapse in 2004 is a good start but doesn’t go nearly far … [Read more...]
What we need is a debate on debates
I watched part of the big debate this week. Can you believe Hannah Brown picked that lousy dog-food jingle singer over the other guy? Hey, what can I say, “The Bachelorette” was way more educational than the first Democratic debate. At least with “The Bachelorette,” I … [Read more...]
How to survive The Donald in two easy steps
For their health and well-being, if nothing else, Democrats and others who are horrified by Donald J. Trump have to stop doing two things: Being shocked by him. Expecting a savior to do something about him. The latest, greatest example is his stunningly racist … [Read more...]
