The problem with writing "in the moment" as I did yesterday in my take down of Alex Acosta's bullshit "explanation" is that subsequent events can overtake your writing. This happened yesterday, but fortunately, two "concepts" that I struggled to...
The "Allred Moment." That's what Eugene Robinson called it on MSNBC last night, and I couldn't have put it better meself. Now I know why the guy has a Pulitzer prize on his wall. But it was more than...
I'm now officially on "Resignation Alert" for Alex Acosta. As I type this, Acosta hasn't even started answering questions about his craven fold-spindle-mutilate on the Jeffrey Acosta case, and I've already heard enough. Acosta has to go, and I...

* Sigh * Why, of why couldn’t the South Koreans have stopped His Lowness on his way back over that imaginary line for not having a valid passport and visa for entry into South Korea? After more than a...
You know, sometimes people tend to give His Lowness just way too damn much credit. They say that Trump is elevating Biden as the prohibitive front runner via Twitter because he wants to run against him. This is likely...
