Fear & Loathing on the Campaign Trail
Or: The chickens have come home to roost
by Mark Linnhoefer ‘Fuck.’ was my first thought as my alarm rang at an atrocious volume. I had set it so I wouldn’t miss the results of this shitfest of an election. The notion that any vote in essence comes down to choosing between a Giant Douche and a […]
The Enemy of Our Enemy Got the Vote
by Ashley Beth “If you wish to understand what Revolution is, call it Progress; and if you wish to understand what Progess is, call it Tomorrow.” -Victor Hugo, ‘Les Miserables’ 1862 It will never be a good idea to start any political article with the following statement but I […]
The Shock of Trump
by Kyle K. Mann Donald Trump will be the 45th President of the United States. The Associated Press called Wisconsin for Trump at about 2:30 AM Eastern time, 11:30 PM Pacific It’s not an easy thing to eat crow, but here it is: I was dead wrong about Trump’s chances. I’m sitting […]

Fear of Fire
My neighbor calls, saying “Look off your deck.” The smoke plume I gaped at was substantial. So I did what any self-respecting modern American would do, snapped a selfie. That was last month, and obviously I didn’t burn up, because here I am, tapping away. Life could be worse, despite […]
Hillary Clinton the Bullet Dodger
America might be getting what it deserves. Not what the people deserve, but what the politicians and corporations have brought onto the good and bad people of this country. FBI director James Comey might be the most powerful since J. Edgar Hoover despite Comey’s open criticisms about Hoover. Where […]
