All of Washington is vibrating like the foam on a latte in the cup holder of a convertible jeep riding railroad tracks over a bridge. Republicans are scrambling to hold together their diverse coalition of rich white men frightened about the next ele..
Are you kidding? Labor Day? Already? How the hell did that happen? Didn't we just scrape down the Weber for the first summer barbecue on Memorial Day? Wasn't that like a week ago? No matter. The kids are back in school. Every team in the NFL has leg..
Humans cherish our seasonal grievances. In the winter, we enthusiastically complain about the cold. In the spring, it's the wet. In the fall, it's the pumpkin spice. But in the summer, it's the heat. Your Aunt Catherine may have said, "Its not the h..
What a long, hot, lousy stinking summer. We've spent so much time sending thoughts and prayers to Gilroy and El Paso and Chicago and Virginia Beach and Dayton and even Toledo, there's hardly been time for ice cream and barbecues and theme parks. Who..

If the first round of Democratic Party debates were distilled into five words or less, it would be "pass the No-Doz please." Vini, vici, dormeo. They came, they saw, they slept. Ambien Thunderdome: "20 go in, 6 remain awake." There were two seperate..
President Trump has been called many things. A short-fingered vulgarian. Mister Misdirection. The Cheater-in-Chief. Vlad's ventriloquist dummy. Boss Tweet. Herr Gropenfuhrer. The Oval Office Oompa Loompa. But the most apropos moniker to throw at him..
Interesting how the Republican Party's attitude towards the office of the presidency has changed in three short years. During the tenure of the previous POTUS, any imagined breach of protocol provoked outpourings of outrage with spokespeople twitchi..
Breaking his two-year vow of silence, special counsel, professional Boy Scout and part time monk Robert S. Mueller III took time from his busy schedule of transitioning to the public sector and spoke to the country for almost ten whole minutes. And ..
