After the obscene travesty of a stolen election and the craven and cowardly behavior of so many of our representatives, President Trump promised an “orderly transition” of power. Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th….

Good morning, kids. Thursday and I cannot even begin to process what happened yesterday in the Capitol. It was without a doubt probably the blackest day at least since 9/11/01 and probably one of the blackest in our now concluded history. If the nation didn’t die on Election Day, it certainly was mortally wounded. Yesterday,…

Good morning, kids. Wednesday and as we had all dreaded – although it’s not official – the two senate seats in Georgia are about to be stolen. Yet again, as I have no doubt that had the presidential election not been stolen from us nine weeks ago, those two seats would have been clearly won…

Vote. Do your options stink? Absolutely! I am second to none in my disdain for the machine Republicans on the ballot in Georgia. They are craven opportunists without a shred of integrity or a coherent political philosophy. Vote anyway. Yes, the possibility that the senate, led by the swamp creature formerly known as Mitch McConnell…

Good morning, kids. Tuesday and the first moment of truth for the nation has arrived in Georgia. The runoff election for the two senate seats – undoubtedly stolen by the Enemy nine weeks ago along with the presidential election – is today. What more needs to be said? On their side of the ticket, we…
“Arbeit Macht Frei,” And Other Sayings In Cuomo’s Little Red Book
Think back almost 30 years, when AIDS was a new and terrifying disease. Had we treated it as a highly infectious disease and used the then current laws, it is entirely possible that we could have reduced the death toll, and drastically reduced its terrible effects on hemophiliacs and surgical patients. But politics trumps all,…

Good morning, kids. The Monday after the Christmas and New Year’s break is usually when it’s back to work, school and life as usual. But this is not a new year. 2021 does not exist. It’s Year Zero. We continue to be in lockdown limbo as well as a state of either national dissolution or…
“Angry And Ignorant Is No Way To Go Through Life,” Said Nobody On The Left
The inarticulate fury of the foot soldiers of the left has been well documented. Sputtering-mad fools driving themselves into lamp posts, or jabbering incoherently for painfully embarrassing minutes in social media posts, or the idiotic messages spray-painted on buildings and barricades. Or even the more personal signs of anger: ridiculous haircuts and mutilating piercings and…
The Morning Report 1/1/21
Good morning, kids. Friday and New Year’s Day. While I certainly wish each of you a happy new year, I’d be lying if I didn’t think things were going to get much better than the last one. And I expect they’re going to get a whole lot worse. But, we’ll have to muddle through somehow,…
The Morning Rant
American Exceptionalism is real. It created the greatest economic engine in history, and on the way it also created a flat society, in which movement from the lowest levels to the highest can happen in the blink of an eye. America has created wealth where once there was none, and no hope for any. America…
