Brian Kenny strikes again
Ahh, life in NY. I have my own horror stories about banking but Brian Kenny sums up what it’s like to deal with the day-to-day problems of the city: I’ve been getting promotional letters from my local bank “inviting” me to “stop by any time at my local 5th Avenue branch” to talk to their […]

The ice is almost gone
This is bad. NASA puts up a daily overlay map of the Arctic, including parts of Iceland, Greenland, and Scandinavia. The land masses are outlined, while the weather around said land masses is visible. The above (one of said maps) was put up yesterday. If you have never seen the pictures before (they’re here), you’ll have trouble seeing […]
NYC can’t get sh*t done
The years have flown past for me since I moved to the city back in the 80’s. I consider myself to have the soul of a poet, the heart of a lion and the eloquence of Shakespeare; alas, lately I have the prostate of a Golf Digest subscriber. As I’ve written before, the breaking of the city’s transit […]
Wikileaks and the 2016 election

PFC Bradley Manning–Is he a traitor, or is he this war’s Daniel Ellsberg?Ask Daniel Ellsberg. On Saturday, there were vigils and protests all over the world to commemorate the fact that former US Army PFC Bradley Manning has spent one thousand days in jail without being given a…
It’s Bernie or… Trump??(updated)
The lovely and talented Susan Sarandon was on Chris Hayes the other night, talking about the election and campaigning for Sanders. Sarandon has the internets in an uproar because she has stated that she will not vote for Hillary should Hillary win the DNC nomination. “I just can’t bring myself to … vote for that” (the […]
We interrupt the end of civilization(updated)
Just wanted to note that Bernie Sanders, who availed himself of a chance to perform with animals (a wayward finch, it seems) in a way that worked out much better than Trump’s bad day with an eagle, has won Washington State and Alaska primaries by huge margins, with Hawaii yet to vote. Alaska gave 80.7% of its vote […]

The GOP takes back the White House
Prepare to say Hello to President Willard Romney (?!) This is a scenario under which we have a three-candidate race for the White House come November. Some caveats: First, this is NOT my original thought going here. It was posted on Huffington Post a few hours ago, and if I find the link, I’ll repost it. […]
VOTE FOR TRUMP NOW!!!
If you’ve been reading this blog, you know I’ve posted multiple pro-Bernie Sanders items over the past few months. I’m not a fan of Hillary and I’m not a fan of The Donald (or any of his GOP rivals). I need to explain that I’m posting pro-Bernie information out of a sense of fair play. The piece […]
