Benghazi Smoke Screen
By Will Durst on Monday, May 20th, 2013
Raging Moderate, by Will Durst Up until about an hour ago, most Americans thought Benghazi was the guy who palled around with John Cassavetes back in the ’60s, but now it’s obvious we’re talking about the foreign policy arm of a multi-ramped tar pit the president has found himself swimming — up to his armpits. Yes, friends, it’s pity time at the White House. After flogging the issue nonstop since September 11, the Fox News ...
The Batty Battalion
By Will Durst on Monday, May 13th, 2013
Raging Moderate, by Will Durst You do realize that Washington, D.C. is not the real world, don’t you? It’s a state of mind. An altered state of mind. Where you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Slammed when you stand and rammed when you run. Berated if you lie and lambasted for the truth. Where even the slightest of breeze can carry the pollen of disaster. And the pack on top knows ...
Droning On

Raging Moderate, by Will Durst Put on your tinfoil hats everybody. Or didn’t you get the memo? Its paranoia time in America again. Maybe it’s the spring that brings out the crazy in our legislators.

F. Scott Fitzgerald famously uttered, “There are no second acts in American lives,” but bless his heart, the besotted scribe seems blissfully unaware of the loophole large enough to taxi a C-130 through that exists for American politicians.

Behavior best exemplified by their insect-like ability to manufacture a sort ...
Yellow-Bellied Cowards
By Will Durst on Monday, April 22nd, 2013
Raging Moderate, by Will Durst And now for a few choice words about the recent Senate vote that scuttled universal background checks on gun purchases. And the first three of those words are… Yellow-Bellied Cowards. Here’s a couple more. Gutless, Craven, Chicken-Hearted Invertebrates. Dastardly, Lily-Livered, Spineless Jellyfish with the moral compunction of inbred Piranhas crowded into a too-small tank filled with liquid meth. That giant, arrogant pimp known as the NRA should be laughing hysterically ...
