Wag the Dog Redux If Iran suddenly became an imminent threat, the administration owes the public an explanation.

Whenever a government suddenly launches a military operation, one question is worth asking: what else is happening that they don’t want us paying attention to?

My latest column: Wag the Dog Redux.

[Edited Repost] "Right" vs "Left" There's hypocrisy on both sides, but on balance I think MAGA folks are the hypocrisy champs. It's good to know they’re good at SOMETHING.

I think it took me longer to edit and update this post than it would have to write a whole new one. If only I had an idea for a new one…

Being Liberal (@beingliberal) This is surreal… just 10 years ago we lived in an alternate reality in which John Cena could record this… WTF has happened to US?

I remember this ad. It’s when I started thinking of John Cena as something other than a washed-up wrestler.

I think it should be piped into the Oval Office, the House and Senate chambers and the Supreme Court on a loop.

"That's fine dude, I'm not mad at you!" Who deserves qualified immunity, armed and masked Federal “Agents” violating the 4th Amendment, or their victims?

Renee Good's killing by an ICE office really threw me for a loop. Here's my second column about it:

No Column This Week But the shed is coming along

Here’s a column about how I’m not writing a column this week. Kinda meta.

"Right" vs "Left" There's hypocrisy on both sides, but on balance I think MAGA folks are the hypocrisy champs. It's good to know they’re good at SOMETHING.

Given the total chaos coming out of DC it’s hard to write about coherently. But I think I pulled it off in this column.
