In theory, these are the safest ballots if the only safety you are worrying about are GOP cabal theories of stolen elections. Otherwise, they are a total pain in the butt. You make any little tiny mistake in filling them… Read More ›
Election
HOW OLD IS TOO OLD?
Fandango’s Provocative Question #211 Do you believe that Joe Biden, at 82 shortly after Election Day 2024, is too old to seek that office. What about Donald Trump at 77? Most important, do you think there should be a maximum age… Read More ›

WILL I BECOME A TWITTER QUITTER?
Fandango’s Provocative Question #189 How do I feel about Elon Musk and Twitter? Well, my connection to Twitter is tenuous and my connection to Facebook is non-existent. I don’t use Tumbler or Snapchat. If there are other outlets, I don’t use… Read More ›
ELECTION, FEVER & AGGRAVATION
No, it’s not a fever about the election. It’s an actual fever, which I never run. I can’t even figure out why I’m running a fever. It’s like fever is the only symptom. Maybe it really is the election. This… Read More ›
DESTROYING DEMOCRACY
The Real Steal by Rich Paschall Gerrymandering – The political manipulation of constituent districts to favor a political party. If you are ever wondering why a congressional district has such weird-shaped boundaries, it is likely because the party in power… Read More ›
SWITCHING REALITIES -TOM CURLEY
Fandango’s Flashback Friday — June 10th Ah the memories this post brings especially while the January 6th hearings are in progress. We thought Trump was merely vicious and had no respect for law. We didn’t know he was ready to stage… Read More ›
BE CAREFFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR BECAUSE YOU MIGHT JUST GET IT
Trump lost this election. He was (is, for now) an awful president. Quite likely our worst ever. He may have power at the moment, but I am sure the moment Biden is sworn in, Trump’s power will fade away until… Read More ›
GOING BACK TO COLLEGE
From the Battleground, by Rich Paschall To be honest, I have thought about this for a while, OK, for years, decades perhaps. There are emotional arguments on both sides so it was not an easy decision. There is also a… Read More ›
THE WEEK THAT WAS – GARRY ARMSTRONG
Just about everyone is shaking their heads as if they’ve just awoken from a long and troubling dream. We have a President-Elect and his name is NOT Trump. If we try to tunnel back through our dreams which began on… Read More ›
AND FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY
It’s enough to make me believe even though I don’t know in what to believe, today, I believe.
SHARING MY WORLD ON NOVEMBER 10, 2020
Share Your World 11-10-2020 And so we had an election and at least some people (who shall remain nameless) apparently still think we are still having one. Well, we knew Trumpty Dumpty was the ultimate disruptor. You would think that… Read More ›
A HOUSE DIVIDED
From The Battleground, by Rich Paschall “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.” – Matthew 12:25 Many were expecting a Blue Wave to wash over Washington and… Read More ›
EVERY VOTE MATTERS
I have never missed an election while I have lived in the U.S. I always vote. I vote when I love the candidate, when I wish it were someone — anyone — else. In the end, I’m a liberal and… Read More ›
THE AMERICAN WAY
2019 and It’s here! The Republican Convention — the big show for which we’ve been waiting, the hottest party to hit Cleveland since 1997 when the Sox won the American League Pennant but lost the Series. The first day wasn’t… Read More ›
NOT WRITING ANYTHING
Until I find out what’s going on, I’m not writing anything. We are STUCK. It’s like a baseball game that runs into 17 innings and everyone has gone home. There comes a time to call the game. CALL THE GAME.
HAVE WE ELECTED JOE YET?
I was just glancing through another post on The New Yorker asking whether Joe Biden is electable. I have read similar stories in the Washington Post and other newspaper, online and offline about every potential candidate. It’s almost as if… Read More ›
HERE WE ARE AGAIN AND THE WEEK IS FINALLY ENDING — AND WHAT A WEEK!
After a Zoom with Garry’s favorite pals, the former colleague group on Trump, racism, Boston’s history of racism, Trump, Trump, and Trump, we’re back to CNN. Now Biden is leading in all FOUR on the line states — AND maybe… Read More ›
THREE DAYS AFTER THE ELECTION
I’m exhausted. When I finally go to sleep and later wake up, nothing seems to have changed. Except everything has changed, but now instead of changing in huge increments, it’s a few thousand votes here, there, oh and over there,… Read More ›
TWO DAYS AFTER THE ELECTION: #FPQ
Fandango’s Provocative Question #94: The Day After the Election And the question du jour, perhaps of the year, is: So here I am, watching the news. Again or maybe that would be “still.” I think Biden has it. He got Michigan… Read More ›
