The talented Mr. Santos

January 23, 2023 by Dave Knadler 2 Comments

George Santos has a row to himself.

George Santos is a lying liar who speaks exclusively in lies, then lies about the lies. That much we know. So the “Saturday Night Live” sketch that lampooned his prolific prevarications was not as funny as it might have been.  For satire to be effective, it has to take the accepted reality of a […]

A man called Kevin

January 6, 2023 by Dave Knadler 2 Comments

Kevin McCarthy, giant of the House. He’s definitely going down in history. Just not the way he thinks. Going down: That’s an apt phrase in a couple of ways. There’s the history thing, sure, and then there’s other thing that could be seen as enthusiastic abasement for the gratification of someone else.  But let’s […]

The shit keeps coming

July 4, 2020 by Dave Knadler

‘Well, that was some weird shit.” President George W. Bush’s reaction to Trump’s 2017 inauguration speech was apt then and describes pretty well everything Trump has done since. Weird shit indeed! It never ends, does it? Last night (July 3) at Mount Rushmore, Trump was reveling in dystopian fantasies of culture war and forced-perspective […]

Boring is good

September 13, 2019 by Dave Knadler

OK, the debates were kind of boring. But really, boring is fine, isn’t it? At this point, boring is cool. The only thing not cool is for Democrats to show up with machetes and start carving each other apart on nebulous policy issues. It veered that way for a bit, but cooler heads prevailed. […]

Black list

September 10, 2019 by Dave Knadler

What if you discovered that a friend or relative had been donating to Trump’s reelection? Not just shrugging off the malignant stupidity and breathtaking corruption of the last three years, but actually sending money to prop up the world’s largest sack of shit. Would it matter? It would matter to me. A lot. It […]

Weather-beaten banner

November 5, 2018 by Dave Knadler

When we first moved to this old neighborhood in Northeast Florida, I decided to hang an American flag out front. Not for patriotic reasons, really; it’s just that the previous owners had one, and this is a historic area where Old Glory on the front porch kind of fits the vibe. Florida’s heat and […]

Another Christmas tale

December 20, 2017 by Dave Knadler

christmas fireplace tax cut

Cynthia from HR brought around the Christmas card. By the time it reached Henderson’s desk, it was already bulging with bills. Henderson sighed and reached for his wallet. He wasn’t crazy about diminishing his meager supply of cash, but it was Christmas time and he supposed he should do his part to help the […]
