Snivels and rants! Snivels and rants! Snivels and rants and rants and rants.

Bob (“The MurphDawg“) Murphy is like the zestiest of spices. I don’t want a pure diet of him, but when he’s not there I miss him. Why can’t “Contra Krugman” (and the Contra Cruise) be revived with a rotating roster of analysts, featuring occasionally, among others, Bob & Tom (“The Old Man“) Woods themselves?
(and because I’m vain, and prideful and lustful &c… I’d like credit for suggesting it)

Give the Yang Gang credit for their latest shot at relevance.
The present political landscape, dominated as it is by Repucrats and Demoblicans, is pretty flat and two-dimensional. Still with only two dimensions, we have identified a number of directions. Broadly speaking, Dems go left, Reps go right, Reds and Greens go down, and Libertutionists and Constitarians rise above.
But now we have Andrew Yang showing us the way Forward.
Smells to me like that Progressive scam that’s been skewering us for the last century or so.
(credit where it’s due: Responding to Yang’s consistent citation of “common sense consensus,” Jolly Jimmy Acosta describes the group as a “fill in the blank party.”)

I swiped the above graphic from correspondent BA, who lifted it from Balance of Power, and I think it’s cute, and even apt in light of the current battle in The War on Orange Hitler. Still, I am put off by its singular focus. The crimes of the ruling class are vast and various, and El Donaldo’s constitute kerfuffles in comparison. Still, dead Yemeni children is sobering… Correspondent HJ goes so far as to recommend dusting off Ol’ Sparky as a solution to our “Trump problem.”
As I am opposed to the State administering a death penalty, in my ideal scenario, after their war crimes trials, Tjump, and Obama, and Dubya, and Bubba will all be cellies assigned to cleaning the restrooms in VA hospitals. (Of course, if they tried to escape, they should be shot down like the mad dogs they are.) Poppy is excused on account o’ bein’ dead, and Jimmeh should be sentenced to time served with his Habitat for Humanity gig.
