The revelations so far about JFK
Remember the last few weeks when everybody in the Pundit biz talked about what a yawner the revelation of the redacted files on JFK’s assassination would be? Fun times. First, there’s this: This is a memo from the then-director of the CIA John McCone, to James Rowley, the chief of the Secret Service, on the […]
The Gummit drops the JFK assassination files
Today is the day the National Archives and Records Administration is supposed to reveal long-suppressed documents regarding the assassination of JFK. This has been mandated to occur for some 25 years, ever since a Congressional vote on the topic back in 1992. I don’t expect much. We really know about 90% of what we need […]
Fifteen years of 9-11 conspiracies
Hi. as Joey would say, How YOU Doin’? The fifteenth anniversary of the 9/11 attack/terror bombing/excuse for ejecting baseball fans for not singing God Bless America during the seventh inning stretch has passed. I dutifully sat out posting on 9/11 for the 24 hours that it was on non-stop news. Now, I present links for […]
Stop reading this blog!
(Trigger warning–historical photo below that will upset you) The title of this article is only half-serious. I promised an update on the evolving story of Omar Mateen, but that can wait. You need to read a book that has consumed me over the past few days. The title of the book is The Devil’s Chessboard: […]
Sick of hearing about Hillary’s damn e-mails?

Sh*t (some)Republicans believe (updated)
This is an updated list. I originally put it up last September, just after the conventions, when the Presidential campaign began in earnest. I’ve updated it somewhat, but this seems to cover the subject pretty nicely. This list probably seems patently unfair to Republicans, and (to be fair) not all Republicans believe everything on this […]
Eleventh Anniversary of 9/11
Eleven years ago, September 11 was also a Tuesday and a big day for me. I showed up for my first day of work at an IT support job with offices on Wall Street. An amazing blue sky greeted me as I got on the train that day. My office was right across the street […]
Crap Republicans (apparently) believe
Okay, I started thinking about putting this up a few days ago after experiencing convention burnout. This list probably seems patently unfair to Republicans, and (to be fair) not all Republicans believe everything on this list. And Democrats believe some rather astounding things as well. And there’s a larger issue of what Americans believe that […]
