By John Auchter I'm sure many of you have seen the meme going around social media meant to assuage voters whose preferred presidential candidate has dropped. It's just a block of words that says this: "Time to remember the best voting advice I have heard: Voting isn't … [Read more...]
Come Heller high water … the March sucks edition
Come Heller high water … We have entered March, the worst, most dispiriting month of the year. It’s a fake, a trickster, a sham, a liar, a temptress and a tease. It’s supposed to come in like a lion and go out like a lamb but it never does. Not in Michigan. Whoever wrote … [Read more...]
Come Heller high water … the anybody but Trump edition
Come Heller high water … None of the Democrats did well at Wednesday’s debate. If they were Snow White & the Six Dwarfs, Warren have been Snappy, Buttigieg would have been Snippy, Klobuchar would have been Defensive, Biden would have been Sleepy, Bloomberg would have … [Read more...]

I saw two brief, seemingly inconsequential snippets of political news analysis the other day. Both confirmed for me that President Spray Tan McCheetos will not only be elected to a second term but will become America’s first Ruler for Life. The first was a TV talking head … [Read more...]
Coming to a theater near you, lots and lots and lots of commercials
I view it as my mission in life to gripe bitterly and predictably about stuff in life that should be better. I like to think of these gripes as helpful suggestions — guidance, if you will – pointing the way to a better society. It’s not easy work but I do it, anyway. You’re … [Read more...]
Since when did we let kids be lawyers?
There’s this profoundly odd moment as a parent where you look at your kid and see an adult. Suddenly, he’s not the toddler who peevishly swatted the rump of a well-dressed society lady who unwisely stepped between him and the tubs of ice cream in a display case. (In his … [Read more...]
