Once upon a time, there lived a mildly entertaining New York political suit. He did reoccurring cameo bits on “Law And Order” during its prime years. Not exactly a Lennie Briscoe, but his “Rudy” character” had legs. The character has… Read More ›

WE ALL NEED A SEAT AT THE TABLE
As the actual election rolls slowly into the past and Trump continues to bunker down in the White House in the hopes that somehow, he can stage an actual coup and become King of America, it has to leave you… Read More ›
WHAT’S WITH THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE? WHAT’S THE POINT?
Los Angeles County is bigger in population than at least 40 entire states. Not only does it have a huge population — more than 10 million and counting — but it is physically bigger than the entire Commonwealth of Massachusetts…. Read More ›
SOCIALISM ISN’T COMMUNISM — AND WHERE DID OUR SOCIAL SECURITY MONEY GO?
Americans think “Socialists” must be the same as “Communists.” Having lived most of my life in the U.S. (born here, raised here, schooled here as were both of my parents), but also having lived for almost a decade in good… Read More ›
SYMPATHY FOR THE BEDEVILED – THE SHINBONE STAR
I have often thought that Trump must have had a horrible upbringing to become the man he is. As of right now, he is indeed a pathetic excuse for a human being. “Unpresidential” is hardly a strong enough word to… Read More ›

TOM CURLY DISCUSSES AMERICAN VALUES, AMERICAN VOTING AND AMERICAN IDOL

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 ›
