POWER

DO NOT PAY YOUR TAXES. TAKE A STAND. MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD. TAKE BACK THE POWER. THIS REPUBLIC BELONGS TO THE CITIZENS. GET ANGRY. GET PISSED. GET GOING. I read somewhere 65 percent of Republican leaders believe Trump's phone call--the no quid pro quo now acceptable quid pro quo--is acceptable. I saw where Mitch McConnell said impeachment will be dead on arrival when it arrives in the Senate. L indsay Graham excuses President Trump's Ukrainian policy as too incoherent and too ramshackle as to be taken seriously. Jim Jordan says the only valid testimony is from Kurt Volker. Have you ever seriously wondered what is happening to our political system? Our democracy was once the envy of the world. Now? We have politicians bought and paid for by special interests. We have a president, vice president, Senate majority leader, House minority leader and assorted minions, gophers, sycophants and go-betweens who tell us it's okay for the U.S. president to withhold aid to a country unti...

I killed Clifton Collins, Jr.

In my dream, I murdered Clifton Collins, Jr. A female talk-show host, whose show somehow moved outside and into the drive-thru of a fast food joint, asked her audience to look where Collins parked his car.

This jealousy brought him to my apartment door. I don't know why I would rent such an apartment. The rear was open to anyone who wanted access. It was a nice place, with lots of windows. The apartment had two doo...

By way of introduction...

I am one of the American people to whom politicians fondly defer when they seek approval for...well, everything. I can no longer hear the phrase without feeling a loosening of my bowels. I am certainly not the first to cry our political system is broken. In fact, this cry is now woven into the political patchwork. For every earnest complaint of systemic dysfunction, an up-and-coming politico cries he/she is the one to fix it.And then our Quixote rushes into the grinder only to be reconstituted as villain he or she promised to slay. Donald Trump is a narcissist. This is not news. Sadly, of all the aberrant personality disorders, narcissism is seen as annoying and irritating but not dangerous. Let the narcissist be self-absorbed. So what if the narcissist is an egomaniac? What harm is there in that? True narcissists, such as Trump, believe they are above the petty ruminations and traffic of we ordinary folk. Since they are special, pedestrian institutions such as laws do not apply ...
