If this isn’t the end for the Republican Party, it’ll be a shame. They dominated American political life for 50 years and were never anything but monsters. They bred in their voters the incredible attitude that Republicans were the only people within our borders who raised children, loved their country, died in battle or paid …
Trump lies. Is it compulsive? Bernie disappoints. Kentucky, Oregon split for Clinton, Sanders. 70 dead in Baghdad bombing. First openly-gay person confirmed to job as Secretary of the Army. Why now? Because that nice Senator Pat Roberts dropped his “hold” on the nomination after blackmailing the Administration into promising it wouldn’t move any Guantanamo prisoners …

why Republicans want — nay, demand — accountability from federal agencies like the NIH and the CDC but ignore the concept when the Pentagon sends up its budget? The unofficial motto of the Republican party might as well be “Get Sick and Die.”
Trayvon Martin’s murderer has put up the gun that was used to kill him up for auction. We’ve known this guy (George Zimmerman, in case you’ve forgotten) was a sleazebag and a killer set free by a Florida jury because of the victim’s race, so it should come as no surprise that he’s a grifter …
But you probably haven’t heard them cover this. We Five was a pretty short-lived band out of San Francisco whose biggest hit was unquestionably “You Were On My Mind,” a remake of a song composed and sung by Ian and Sylvia on their 1964 album “Northern Journey.” We Five released two wonderful albums and then …
