Is Biden a Stalking Horse?

That’s probably the intention of the Democrat Party at this point. Will it work? If you define ‘work’ in this case as ‘backfire massively’, yes, it’ll work great. You young ‘uns are waiting for me to define ‘stalking horse’, aren’t you? This is why glare smilies exist, you know! Smilies are emojis. You are holding a dozen universities in your hand but looking up stalking horse is too much trouble? I’m not even touching the fact that you didn’t know … Continue reading “Is Biden a Stalking Horse?”

America May be a Bit Crazy, But the Crazies Don’t Speak for America

/ Unless you’re a Democrat, of course. How’s that working out for ya, Bud Light? Do you really think a Super Bowl commercial is going to make any difference to the people you refuse to apologize to? You know, you customers? Oh. let’s be fair. There are plenty of Republicans who are convinced that arguing on Facebook is a blow for freedom. Well, okay, so maybe it is, a little, but really, do you think calling people names on social … Continue reading “America May be a Bit Crazy, But the Crazies Don’t Speak for America”

Kinda Wrong but Right

/ Being a commentator comes with the advantage that you don’t have to write a dissertation. The disadvantage is that you will have more than your fair share of foot in mouth disease. Be sure to keep those tootsies clean and have a lifetime subscription of Listerine. Haley’s campaign manager is criminally incompetent. She has zero shot of defeating Trump after a third place finish in Iowa and a poor second place in New Hampshire. What are they expecting going … Continue reading “Kinda Wrong but Right”

Protecting the Rule of Law by Violating the Rule of Law

Does that sound stupid? Good, because it is moronic. Yesterday morning. I watched a video by one of my favorite sites, TL;DR News. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. TLDR is left leaning but has always tried hard to be fair in its reporting. Fair enough, you can’t ask for more than a good faith effort. Yesterday’s video wasn’t even close and the sad thing is I doubt they realized it. Well, if they see my comment, they’ll … Continue reading “Protecting the Rule of Law by Violating the Rule of Law”

Trump Wins Iowa

Golly, what a nonsurprise. Seriously, what idiot thought there was the slightest chance of a close second, let alone an upset? So far, Ramaswamy has dropped out of the race, putting his support behind Trump. Haley has dropped out of the debates, having come in third behind DeSantis, but remains in the race going into New Hampshire. DeSantis has accepted the CNN debate invitation. So, who’s left in the race besides Trump, DeSantis and Haley? Near as I can tell, … Continue reading “Trump Wins Iowa”

Bedtime for Big Tech?

No, not just Twitter. Honestly, I suspect YouTube will end up feeling the worst of the consumer shift first. Now, if you are taking business advice from me, you should not be in business. I can barely sell snarky tee shirts so I’m not the gal you want writing your business model. Politics, however, I know a bit about. Most businesses avoid politics like the plague. Ticking off customers unnecessarily is generally considered a bad sales tactic. Corporations love politics … Continue reading “Bedtime for Big Tech?”

Does Israel Care What the World Thinks?

Pretty sure they don’t. This appears to me to be the final stage of what happens when this ‘all or nothing’ mentality world gets what it wants only to realize it didn’t really want what it got. Israel is no different than any other nation-state in one main respect. It comes only in Size Human. No angels, no demons, just people that stick pants on one leg at a time, sometimes do great things and sometimes do awful things. Israel … Continue reading “Does Israel Care What the World Thinks?”

New Year Scattershot

So, I’m back. Happy New Year. I’m old. My friends older than me insist that I’m not old but no one objectively accuses me of being young. The thing about being old is years all start looking suspiciously like each other. Decades look a bit different but years look like carbon copies. The other problem is you are the only one that remembers what a carbon copy is. I’d recommend against getting old except for the fact that it beats … Continue reading “New Year Scattershot”

Iran, Yemen, Venezuela, China, and Russia, Oh My!

The world is burning down. Ack! Head for the hills! The End is Near! Dogs and cats are marrying! So, basically, it’s Tuesday on the Internet. Let’s take a bit of a deeper dive, shall we? Or we can just do the headless chicken dance. Deeper dive? Good call. I left Ukraine, Israel and Guyana out of my list on purpose. Today, let’s look at the bad guys. I’m grossly oversimplifying because this isn’t a Perils of Pauline serial and … Continue reading “Iran, Yemen, Venezuela, China, and Russia, Oh My!”
