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...]
Come Heller high water … the ‘decent Republicans are starting to fight back’ edition
Come Heller high water … Four well-known Republicans strategists – George Conway, Steve Schmidt, John Weaver and Rick Wilson - have created the Lincoln Project to defeat the orange Cheeto and restore the rule of law, even if that means helping Democrats take the Senate and … [Read more...]
Auchtoons: Sad is in the eye of the beholder
Toon & text by John Auchter The President expresses himself in superlatives: The transcript was perfect, I am the chosen one, I have the best words, and so on. It's an effective rhetorical device. The absolute certainty projects a pseudo-strength that many find very … [Read more...]

Come Heller high water … the “Why don’t you just go along to get along?” edition
Come Heller high water … I was asked the other day why I’ve been writing about Trump so much lately. That’s an easy one. I write so much about Trump because what he’s trying to do is rebuild the nation in his own ugly image. He wants an America where non-whites are second … [Read more...]
Come Heller high water … the ‘Wait, Mr. President, you think we flush our toilets how many times?’ edition
Come Heller high water … My biggest problem with Republicans in Congress these days is that they know they’re lying. They know Trump did it. They know he’s an awful human being who is damaging our democracy. They know he deserves to be impeached and removed. And yet they … [Read more...]
Auchtoons: Don’t ask for whom the crappy roads toll, they toll for thee
By John Auchter So you're vacationing with a large group, and you're hungry. You've rolled up to, through, and now well past dinner time. Several plans have been suggested and (you thought) agreed to, but never quite executed for reasons that run the gamut from … [Read more...]
Come Heller high water … the Thanksgiving week edition
Come Heller high water … Trump pardoned the White House turkeys this week. No, not Giuliani and Manafort. The actual ones. (Hey, I realize that was an awful and obvious joke. But my grown-up kids are coming home for Thanksgiving and I have to practice my dad jokes.) This … [Read more...]
