And the best part is that every dog who walks by will give the sign a good sniff and dispute this dog’s territorial claim with their own pee.

We are now governed by supposed patriots who do not believe that all men are created equal or that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and by supposed Christians who think the Sermon on the Mount was a leftist screed.

But enjoy the fireworks.

When I wake up and need to go to the bathroom, I don’t turn on the light and wake my partner, but I know my black dog is on the floor somewhere. I whisper his name and he does a little shake to tell me where he is.

There’s no English word for that little shake. The Arabic word is “intifada.”

I think it was Betty Friedan who said in the sixties that women would not achieve equality when well-qualified women can be elected to office, but when women can be elected who are like the men who are elected.

With the possible exception of the White House, I think we’re there.

I thought it was more gin than whiskey.

We’re almost certainly in a recession. The question is how bad it will get.

It’s probably the deep state’s fault, or maybe Antifa.

I received a fund-raising appeal from Columbia Law School yesterday. I replied today. I elaborated slightly upon “no.”

He’s plenty smart enough to serve in Congress. The problem is that he’s evil.

Trump’s Tariffs Have Sown Uncertainty. That Might Be the Point. President Trump’s economic advisers have used a hodgepodge of messages to justify starting trade wars that are spooking markets.

There’s a point?

If historians rated chief justices the way historians rate presidents, then Roberts would be in James Buchanan territory.

She’s right: No one in America should go to a Tesla dealership. Ever.

And go to hell Duke.

The age requirement for Senate is 30.

Trump Demands Control of Department at Columbia "The Trump administration has delivered an extraordinary ultimatum to Columbia University, threatening to permanently end federal funding to the Ivy League school unless it cedes control of an interna...

I hope and believe that I speak for the great majority of Columbia alums in saying that’s a hell no. Not ever. politicalwire.com/2025/03/14/t...

The country was run for a few decades by insufferable snots who think you must breath through your mouth if you question their self-serving policies.

But the solution was not to make the dumbest dumbass in America our President.

The Washington Post’s editorial page was useless throughout the financial crisis. They were lazy, shallow, and unfailingly credulous of criticism of financial reform from Wall Street guys with Ivy League pedigrees despite.

Now those are the good old days.

Isn’t that what private sector workers did last week?

“What did I do last week? The women in the office stood around the water cooler and talked about how sexually unappealing Elon Musk is.”

Does anyone with a 0.0 blood alcohol level slur this many words?

In the decade that I was in Congress, about half of my staff’s time was on constituent services. The problem we helped people with the most was immigration: how they could stay in the country. That was typical of Democratic and Republican offices alike.

What a dumbass.

I sometimes think that everyone in public life in the last generation is partly responsible for the descent of a great—flawed, but great—democracy into a cheap, corrupt autocracy, me included. I appreciate the reminder that others were far more responsible. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/o...

Trump has been vulgar and garishly tasteless his whole life. Now he wants control of American arts and culture.

Inappropriate is using the wrong fork for your salad. Declaring yourself a racist of long standing is something else.

Brazil is the B in BRICS.

They would, but the students been expelled from school and the faculty members have been fired.

The reform wing wants to coalesce with the establishment wing to oppose Trump but the establishment wing would rather lose to Trump than work with reformers.

Another way to think about this is that Harris should never have gotten into a bidding war with Trump over who could respect Palestinian rights less.

The history of the CIA has some sordid chapters, but they told Ukraine that Russia really was going to invade when Ukraine didn’t believe it.

They need to get the Colombian president on the call.

So will prices in the United States for bourbon and rye whiskey be down because of diminished world demand?

I’m looking for silver linings to life in a Road Warrior movie.
