America has an Emma Gonzalez and a Lying, Uninformed, Philandering, Self-Dealing, Traitorous Miscreant named Donald Trump. To Whose Voice Should We Listen?
The voice of Emma Gonzalez has become the voice of a generation. So powerful is the message Ms. Gonzalez brings to America, that her four minutes of silence at Saturday’s March For Our Lives gathering in Washington brought America to tears. Gonazlez’s four minutes of silence were more powerful, more truthful and more impactful than... Read more »
Poor, Misguided Freddie Thinks that Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell Have his Back
Freddie (not real name) likes to put an optimistic spin on things. It’s an admirable trait, but the operative word is still spin. Spin is not truth. Freddie thinks Palestinians will wake up one day and embrace Jews as their friends. He (or she) lives in a world of optimism and imagination, luxuries we may... Read more »

I wrote a piece last month entitled, “Guns, Violence and Advertising in the Age of Trumpism, Hate and Fear” which focused on the image above. It’s still a lot to take in, but some readers reacted strongly. Interpreting the image may be a case of beauty being in the eyes of the beholder or people... Read more »
Is Vashti Brocoli a Russian Troll, a Real Live Deplorable or a 400 Pound Guy in New Jersey?
Much of the feedback from my little tirades comes from a group I call the “Whatabouts.” You know the type. When they’re guilty, they deflect from their crimes with, “What about what (fill in the blank) did?” For Trumpsters, the response to any of a thousand facts marking him as a liar and a traitor...

Five Reasons Why President Bone Spurs Should Stop Shooting his Mouth off about Guns
There’s a thousand reasons President Know Nothing should keep his mouth shut, but that doesn’t seem to curtail his constant dog and pony show. He feels obligated to comment on everything from football to the careers of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Alec Baldwin and Oprah Winfrey. When it comes to anything of substance though, Dishonest Don is...
