The pollsters were right, my gut feeling was wrong and Democrats now control both houses of Congress. That armies of lawyers are not converging on the states the Democrats flipped in Tuesday’s midterm elections is a miracle of sorts. After all, the Republican Party playbook in recent years has been to question the authenticity of […]
I’ve never done it before, but tonight I expect to watch the returns in the US midterm elections. Some of them anyway. Even though I don’t have a vote. I am curious as to the outcome. Mostly, I want to see if my gut feeling about this election is correct. According to all the polls, […]
I do have a post about the US midterm elections coming later today, but when I saw this I knew I had to share it. Stephan Pastis is one of my favorite writers. He has a razor-sharp wit that he uses to observe the world around us. In a few simple comic panels he explains […]
Money talks. Should it? Is anyone listening? Americans go to the polls Tuesday to elect a third of the US Senate and all 435 members of the House of Representatives. Campaign spending has hit record amounts, billions of dollars. Political advertising alone has crossed the $11 billion mark. And there are lots of expenses besides […]
Actually, it isn’t that bad, I just liked the image. As an introvert I sympathize. For the record, people’s faces don’t annoy me. Nor does being awake. Sounds though are another matter. Sounds especially set my nerves on age in a way they didn’t when I was younger. Maybe I am more sensitive, maybe my […]
In the absurdity of Donald Trump’s trade war with Canada, one item stands out as making sense. He has put a tariff on Canadian garbage. You probably didn’t know that we exported garbage to the US. Turns out is is a fair sized business. And what do Americans do with Canadian garbage? They bury it […]
This post may be outdated by the time you read it. It was completely rewritten once already. The original mocked Donald Trump for ordering the Justice Department to prevent the certification of the Alaska Senatorial election should the Republican candidate lose. Such an attempt to interfere in the race before the votes were cast was […]
The problem with writing about current issues is sometimes you get overtaken by the news. This is not today’s scheduled post on election interference. That one needs some significant changes thanks to a news story that broke on Wednesday. You can look for it tomorrow. In the meantime, don’t enter the dangerous area.
The words mean different things to different people, but there is no doubt Donald Trump is against electoral interference. Unless he is the one doing the interfering. He recently suggested Canada and Canadians were trying to influence the outcome of the US midterm elections that are taking place next week. He seemed quite upset about […]
I got caught up in municipal election coverage on television last night and didn’t get today’s post finished. That means I am taking today off. Which explains the cartoon at the top of this page. The difference is, I got to choose this one.
