Protesters are making noise outside of postmaster general's home
Who ever thought the postmaster general would become a lightning rod of controversy? I always pictured him sitting around eating Pepperidge Farm cookies and leafing through the Old Farmer’s Almanac to find out when he should plant his heirloom tomatoes. And if Louis DeJoy were drawing a salary to do that I doubt anyone would…
Trump says Patriots coach Bill Belichick would be 'as good as any general' at devising battle plans
I seriously can’t keep up with the crazy sometimes. Just as I’m done reeling from the latest Trump grotesquerie, another comes along. And another.

Trump tweets his lawyer John Dowd's letter to attack General Mattis
It’s getting weirder, now that Trump tweets a copy of his lawyer, John Dowd, attacking General James Mattis. Trump can still afford a lawyer to do his defaming for him, since Trump made up false tweets so far about Mattis. Unhingery abounds, not exactly Lenin and Trotsky, more like Abbott-Costello. The kayfabe has gotten more stupid…

Trump claims he made Sessions attorney general even though he knew he was unqualified
Even when I’m not high I have a hard time following Donald Trump’s “logic,” and today was no exception. Being high doesn’t help either, come to think of it. Neither does huffing solvent. Or glue. Or Clorox. You pretty much have to fill your mouth with steel wool, drop three tabs of acid, and hook…
