GUNS, GREED, AND POLITICS – #FPQ 114
Fandango’s Provocative Question #114 – LAWS AND GUN VIOLENCE IN THE U.S.A. It’s the question we ask ourselves and each other when a shooter kills people who never did him harm. We ask how someone who is so mentally unstable and… Read More ›
THE DISHONEST JURY – RICH PASCHALL
After debacle 2 and Impeachment Redux, you really have to wonder if the Republicans are even Americans, much less patriots, anymore. I think it’s a realistic question at this point.
IT ENDED AS IT BEGAN: THE T@%$# IMPEACHMENT REDUX
I wish that T&%$# Impeachment II had ended with a surprise, but it didn’t. It ended better than I thought it would. The really most frustrating moment was Mitch McConnell’s diatribe against T&%$# after the trial. Basically, the jury, aka… Read More ›

TOM CURLY DISCUSSES AMERICAN VALUES, AMERICAN VOTING AND AMERICAN IDOL
The American voting system is seriously fucked up. I think most of us can agree on this fact. Right wing nut jobs insist that millions of illegal aliens somehow got into thousands of voting booths and voted for Hillary. Thousands of… Read More ›
