Ted Cruz continued his “Hey, look! I’m not in Cancun!” tour yesterday, traveling to the U.S.-Mexico border in search of a thatch of reeds that in no way made him look like a serial killer floating freshly harvested bodies down the river on jerry-rigged rafts comprised of peat bog residue and...

The rift on Antarctica’s Brunt ice shelf has torn itself away from the glacier resulting in a massive iceberg that is known as A74. British Antarctic Survey has been monitoring the glacier for years. The shelf was at its largest extent for over 100 years. The Brits have relocated their research station twice...
If you listen to Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) and conservative media silos, like Fox News, black Capitol police officer Harry Dunn, who was called the N-word a “couple dozen times” by Confederate flag-waving insurrectionists, is crazy to believe the ‘hoax’ that white supremacy exists. The supremacy deniers would also have...
Jordan Klepper’s frequent embedded reports from MAGA-land have been a breath of fresh air over the past five years, so of course The Daily Show simply had to send him to Denial-palooza. And he didn’t disappoint. In this episode we discover that Trump fans can’t count to two; the only trustworthy figures...
Donald Trump’s favorite person, aside from himself, has worked assiduously over the years to make it appear as if she isn’t nearly as vulgar, brash, or downright gormless as the rest of the Huns in her family. But it’s a dark ruse — as evidenced by her tacit complicity in...

Received this e-mail from actor Tim Curry on behalf of the Wisconsin Democratic Party: Right now, we can almost see blue skies through the tears… of the Trump presidency, of course. But we absolutely must keep the pressure on! That’s why we’re doing the Rocky Horror Show — LIVE — this Halloween...
Trump’s self-fulfilling idiocy still needs to drive his numbers further down. Like punking his gun-toting followers, a desperate Trump thinks that having his GOP RNC acceptance speech at Gettysburg will do for his neo-confederate followers something, something Charlottesville. The Stephen Miller logic probably has more historical revisionist malarkey in the...
Received this e-mail from singer-songwriter James Taylor is support of former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign: Joe Biden I'm reaching out personally to ask because this election is the most important one in my lifetime: can you chip in $16 to elect Joe Biden and defeat Donald Trump? In just...
Jared Kushner’s Air Bridge may have worked to not only expedite delivery of PPE, but also failed to deliver by hoarding an as yet unaccounted amount of PPE materiel. Trump has been called a “day-trader” and the margin-businesses popular with venture capitalists excites those risk seekers playing with other people’s money....
Rand Paul isn’t too concerned about climate change on Planet Earth, but to his credit he does think we need to start creating livable ecosystems elsewhere. I guess he thinks humanity is on a cosmic pub crawl, and since we’re about to wear out our welcome here, we need to find...

ROFL at how hypocritical this bag of orange bones really is. I did not know Individual # 1 had a pastor. Paula White ( a televangelist from Florida) will be joining the White House to advise THE ONE. Really? This woman is nuttier than a fruit cake missing a few...
As part of the ongoing project to catalog every awful thing the Trump Administration has done as a reference for future political arguments and whatever few posterity survives to see 2020, here’s everything awful the Trump Administration has done this week. 1642. Denied assistance to immigrants low income immigrants applying for...

She was shot 5 times. en.wikipedia.org/… Speier entered politics by...
Unlike the President, I am big enough to say congratulations. Mr. Trump, thank you for being in office when one of the most hideous men in history was taken out by American forces. Thank you to the Kurds, who provided the intelligence, the fortitude and the blood that kept people...

It seems to be an argument almost as fundamental as “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?”, and just about as insoluble. On the one hand you have activist progressives who argue that the constitution isn’t interpreted by politics, and Trump’s offenses require impeachment, and the consequences be damned....
There is so little good information about what is going on with farmers, especially in KY, if you are not plugged into a rural community that is (I’m a city boy in Louisville). But I came upon this report that came out before the Chinese trade talks tanked. Why this...
First Ben Carson, who every day makes me believe I could have become a brain surgeon and had time left over to train for six Olympic sports, said Obamacare was the worst thing to happen to this country since slavery. And now this. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Bizarrkansas) is subtly warning that Alexandra...

We always knew the name Surf Street was dead on. When we were little, a sign that spelled “No Wake” was attached to the telephone pole at the top of the street, for when boats would pass through from Shore Road. I’d never seen boats float by our front window,...
