Indefensible Day

Posted on July 4, 2022 by Nathan

It’s Independence Day here in the States, although you could ask what we’re celebrating when the Republicans are using the Supreme Court to eliminate as many freedoms as possible. This comparison seems pretty apt. But then, it’s not like anyone … Continue reading →

Religious Order in the Court

Posted on June 26, 2022 by Nathan

I’m sure what we all really need right now is a middle-aged white man weighing in on the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. But really, do any of my opinions matter in the grand scheme of things? I’ve seen … Continue reading →

Divide and Concur

Posted on November 8, 2020 by Nathan

It looks like Joe Biden has won, but we still don’t know whether Donald Trump will go peacefully. Of course, he didn’t win by that much. I remember saying back in 2016 that it was really embarrassing that Trump got … Continue reading →

Too Much Malarkey

Posted on September 30, 2020 by Nathan

I watched the debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden last night, so I might as well comment on that and related political issues. Do people really change their minds about whom to vote for based on debates? It’s not … Continue reading →

If Wishes Were Streetcars

Posted on September 23, 2020 by Nathan

The Wish Express, by Ruth Plumly Thompson – This could essentially be considered the author’s first book, although it wasn’t published in that form during her lifetime. Before she took over the Oz series from L. Frank Baum, she serialized … Continue reading →

Sunrise, Sunset

Posted on April 26, 2020 by Nathan

Fiddler on the Roof – I’d been meaning to see this for some time, but the length put me off somewhat. I was familiar with some of the songs (and, in some cases, parodies of the songs), but not much … Continue reading →

Disrupt the Corrupt

Posted on February 21, 2020 by Nathan

I’m going to try to write something about politics, which is something I’ve been thinking about quite a bit as of late. It seems that most of what I want to say has already been said, though; and when I … Continue reading →

A Biden by the Rules

Posted on September 14, 2019 by Nathan

I watched the third Democratic debate last night, because I still do things like that. It was forever before they had the first commercial break, though, and sometimes I blurt out what I’m thinking and miss something, like Andrew Yang … Continue reading →

Stand by Your Madman

Posted on March 31, 2017 by Nathan

I have to suspect that part of the reason Republicans have trouble distancing themselves from Donald Trump is that conservatism promotes loyalty to a leader as long as they’re officially on your side. There’s a reason monarchy and fascism are … Continue reading →

Bernie Can’t Win, Trump Can’t Break Even, and Hillary Can’t Get Out of the Game

Posted on February 12, 2016 by Nathan

One political issue on which I’m somewhat divided is that of voting for the candidate you actually like (well, relatively speaking) versus voting for the person you think can beat the one you don’t like. A lot of the time … Continue reading →
