How to look like a bleating fool
“After protests erupted over the news that the high court is poised to gut the landmark abortion rights decision Roe v. Wade,” Huffington Post wrote, Clarence Thomas “chided Americans for being incapable of ‘living with’ rulings they don’t like and complained that a l[...]
Can GOPers really stop abortions?
Making abortion against the law was tried before. It didn’t keep abortions from happening. The pre-Roe abortion bans are viewed in much the same light as Prohibition: If you make abortion illegal, all you’ll accomplish is create a black market for abortions. But much has changed since 19[...]

GOP senator struggles with interracial marriage question
Once upon a time interracial marriage was illegal in Virginia and numerous other states. (In fact, even looking at a white woman could get a black kid killed.) These racist laws were struck down in Loving v. Virginia, a 1967 Supreme Court decision (details here). A perplexed Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN, [...]
Hawley’s hypocrisy
Eric Greitens (photo, left; profile here), a former governor of Missouri who was forced to resign in disgrace, is trying for a comeback in the 2022 Missouri GOP Senate primary. It doesn’t help that he’s an accused wife-beater, too, and also allegedly smacked the kids around, too (read st[...]
