The Ugly Divorce

By David Glenn Cox We can all take a breath. He’s out playing golf and won’t be back until he’s through cheating on Tuesday. I thought it was just me at first. Then I began to hear others say the king looked a little rough around the edges. He looked unwell, unhappy and friendless. Disgruntled, surly “Get outta my way! I’m going to play golf, damn it!” He looked like a tired man who truly needed…

That’s Almost News!

By David Glenn Cox It’s a wonderful time to be alive, what with the world being upside down and fraught with dangerous perils and possibilities. Electronically, your ticket is taken to the inverted land. If it’s obviously bad news, just don’t talk about it, and it will be washed away in the news slurry in a few days. Always show a neutral bias on stories showing the administration in a poor…

Echoes!

By David Glenn Cox I was sitting on the couch about three thirty this morning. Asking myself why I do this? While I was thinking about the latest Trump fiasco. And that’s reason enough to keep going, I suppose. But it’s more than just partisan politics. Too many people are being too quiet when they should be speaking up. The Trump Administration is unable to deliver the mail. {For most countries…

What an Illustration!

By David Glenn Cox NEWSFLASH! The Federal government has taken over Union Station in Washington D.C. They’re going to make the trains run on time! Were you listening that day back in high school? They’re gonna fix this railroad problem of ours and make every boy and girl want a Lionel train under their Christmas tree. All we need to do is sweep up, wash a few windows and throw the homeless out,…

You Made Him Do it!

By David Glenn Cox It is a story with all the earmarks of a story that eventually ends badly. I just can’t imagine this ending with Trump in a top hat shaking hands with the new president and then waving goodbye to the jubilant crowd. The little trolley is slipping and can’t quite make it to the top of the hill anymore. He’s just ranting now. Prattling on infinita to anyone brave enough to…

I got an Idea!

By David Glenn Cox Why does a government act against its own better interests? Why does it enact policies which are both unpopular and bad for business? Calling out the natural guard is the king’s most unpopular action so far. So why would they ignore the polls? And threaten to keep it up. It’s completely counter intuitive. If this were an issue which was popular, it would be understandable. But…

Lost in a Blizzard of Nonsense

By David Glenn Cox It’s emotionally taxing the trip to the far edge of reason and sanity and back. The absurd little theater of the absurd. You don’t dare laugh, but you want to. You can feel it welling up inside yourself, but you don’t dare give in to it. Is it too serious to not joke about it? But it’s just so predictable and they treat it with such solemnity and seriousness. According to…

The Psychology of Losing

By David Glenn Cox It’s like a plot for a Batman movie. The penguin is on the loose in Gotham city. And unless he’s paid an incredible sum of money, he’s going to inject stupid gas into the clubhouse of the New York Yankees. Making them helpless and forgetting entirely how to play baseball. It’s gotta be a gas! These aren’t the slugs of baseball. These are some of the best players in the game.…

Stage Three Fascism

By David Glenn Cox It is sometimes hard to pay attention to it all and follow along with everything. That in the epic corruption of Donald Trump’s universe that his corruption still knows no limits or bounds. It’s just like the universe, it’s unfathomable to the human mind! The $500 million fine Trump was ordered to pay for fraud was ruled excessive by the appeals court. Okay, let’s accept for a…

For the Uneducated, You Put on a Show

By David Glenn Cox It’s really just a case of “Good” Vlad and “Bad “Vlad. That scrappy little guy coming down that red carpet smiling, saying, “Where have you been? Whatcha been doing with yourself fella! Hey! Good to see you, man. I’m here to listen too! So, what have you got for me? Only the walls and the aids who foolishly wrote it all down know that. Unaware evidence like that could be the…

A Great Big Nothing Burger

By David Glenn Cox Orwell called it “doublespeak.” To hold two opposite concepts in your mind at the same time. In our own day, I would call it string theory. The holding of two opposite realities, both in the same place at the same time. Trump the warlord and Trump the peacemaker. If at first you don’t succeed, shrug your shoulders and walk away. The entire world was watching Trump in Alaska.…

One Toke Over the Line

By David Glenn Cox You really can’t make this stuff up. It’s gone too far for believability. Stay away from the brown acid! But it’s your trip…man. The mad king says, “the Smithsonian ought to portray America’s brightness!” A daunting and difficult task indeed. An endeavor without any mention of the Trump Administration, I’d wager. But just when you think you’re coming down. The man in the tv…

You Can’t Handle the Truth.

It’s for your own good. By David Glenn Cox Let’s talk about made up things. Things manufactured like pasteurized, processed cheese food slices. Each individually wrapped in plastic and ready for your serving pleasure in easy open packaging. The king’s approval rating has fallen again. Oh, dear? Can you believe it? Down from a shockingly low 41% now down to a paltry 38% (Heavy metal band playing…

“Additional Help is on the Way”

By David Glenn Cox So, I was sitting on my couch, unsure of what outrage or subterfuge to write about today. But as I turned on the TV set to the news, the announcer says with a straight face. “Additional help is on the way!” Obviously, this is a masterstroke of pure unadulterated state propaganda. “Wow,” I said to myself. “That didn’t take anytime at all.” Just turn on the set and count to ten…

Snow Job

By David Glenn Cox It doesn’t take a top-drawer KGB agent to know the big goof is susceptible to flattery. Even with climate change, there’s suddenly a lot of snow around. But snow is common in Alaska. It snows all the time in Russia. And in my mind’s eye I see a fisherman making a long cast with a rod and reel and live bait. And just at that point of starting to reel that baited line in. Putin…

A Show of Farce

By David Glenn Cox In the annals of history, it will go down as never have so few tried so hard to do so little. It would almost be a comedy if it wasn’t so serious. I’m sure the Europeans and the Ukrainians are breathing a sigh of relief and snickering to themselves. “And we were afraid he was actually going to really try to  do something.” What do you expect from a pig but a grunt? One aspect…

Hot Enough for You?

By David Glenn Cox Well, the big day is finally here. The orange dictator will meet with the red dictator. Have you forgotten about Jeffery Epstein yet? The orange dictator says there is a 25% chance of making peace in Ukraine. Which actually means there is a ZERO percent chance of making peace in Ukraine. You can’t negotiate peace without all sides seated at the table. But if you make enough…
