It’s long past time for mass civil disobedience

It’s painfully clear to me now, and should be to you as well, that the various COVID restrictions in effect both Federally and at the State and Local levels are never, not ever, going away. If you had any lingering doubts, they should have been swept away by Joe Biden’s off the cuff decision to… Continue reading It’s long past time for mass civil disobedience

The Revenge of the Buzzwords (Part 2: Angry White Men)

Now that Ole Joe and the band have opened the show with “Conspicuous Consumption”, and now that the fans in the front row have dutifully begun to scream enthusiastically at the familiar opening notes, the band is planning to bring the house down with a big encore performance of “Angry White Men.” Except this time… Continue reading The Revenge of the Buzzwords (Part 2: Angry White Men)

Mayor Lori Lightfoot is playing a stupid game…

We shouldn’t play along with her.

A lot of… Continue reading Jodi Shaw: American Hero
