If the law says that people working on a movie set are entitled to know......

.....when a loaded gun is in the area, why are not we, the general public, entitled to know when we are in the presence of a concealed carry person? Open carry only would allow us to avoid the people who feel the need to be armed in public and put us at risk.

August J. Pollak asked if one could think of three good things about....

...the Orange Menace. He came up with three that I think are pretty good. He's a blogger who I used to follow and enjoy, both his commentary and his cartoons. Drew a cat called "R.C.", which was short for "Rightwing Conspiracy".

It's been a few years since "George Dubya" and his pal "Brownie" screwed up New Orleans.

Let's hope that this storm isn't as severe, the Corps of Engineer improvements do their job and the city does not flood like the last time.

This article by Arundhati Roy explains how the autocratic government of India's Modi.....

......has created the almost unimaginable Covid crisis that they are now facing. Please take into account that this article was published almost a week ago and things have only gotten much worse.

Twenty-one year old white man goes into Charleston church and kills nine people. Twenty-one....

....year old white man goes into Atlanta area beauty parlors and kills eight people. The media reaction, the amount of coverage of these two similar events has been quite different. Why do you suppose that is? Black folk versus Asian folk? Church versus Beauty Parlor? A Pastor and his flock versus hairdressers and nail technicians? All of the above?

Both Lauren Boebert and Margorie Taylor Green are new members of the House Budget.....

....Committee. This will produce a critical mass of the crazy on the right side of the dais every time they meet. I'm sure neither will be satisfied to play second fiddle when it comes time to question a witness, not wanting to be anything less than the center of attention. The Repubs on the committee are going to need the Costco double pack of antacids when this happens. Maybe we shouldn't be in such a hurry to show either one of them to the door and maybe ask our Republican friends, as long as they are going to Costco, could they pick up some popcorn for us.

The latest from Dr. John Campbell on the current state of the pandemic. Others have posted his....

....reports and I find them so informative that I keep suggesting that friends and family look at them too.

The transparency of Biden's call to Putin makes me wonder if we might some day see....

....the transcript of T***p's call to the Ukraine, you know the "perfect" one that they hid on some sort of super secret server.

I'd like to see something from the new Biden administration in an effort to make things.....

....right with the Kurds, a betrayal that needs to be addressed, IMO.

The new press secretary's name, Jen Psaki, and the question about how it is pronounced reminds.....

....me of President Ford's press secretary Jerry terHorst. A Doonesbury comic strip of a post-Nixon press conference had a reporter asking Mr. terHorst if he would mind changing his name because it looked like a typo, to which he replied "No problem". It was especially funny because it underscored a new, fresh beginning with the press, after the lies and obfuscations of the Nixon years. Ron Ziegler used to be the gold standard for lying press secretaries, but by Trumpian standards he was truly bush league.
