I was laid off from my office job in 2016 at the age of 61.  Needing to bridge the gap before retirement, I took a job at a supermarket at one third the wages of my previous employer.  This was pre-pandemic.  I saw how hard my co-workers … [Read more...]

Here’s How to Win an Argument!

December 24, 2021 By johntmay 9 Comments

I often hear many on the right speak critically against teacher's salaries, noting that they are part time jobs with months of vacation, and little more than babysitters. On that last note, I agree with them enthusiastically.  Yes, they … [Read more...]

Methodist Pastor David Barnhart : The Unborn

December 5, 2021 By johntmay 1 Comment

I read this today and it explains, to me, the  cognitive dissonance of the pro-life evangelical bigots on the right.   “The unborn” are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are … [Read more...]

How to talk with a Republican relative over the holidays.

November 25, 2021 By johntmay 23 Comments

When they say, "It's the damn teacher's unions!  That's what's ruining  our schools!" Do not argue with them.  Nod your head up and down while holding your chin. Look a bit puzzled and ask them: "You know, I've looked at twenty or so … [Read more...]

If there was any doubt how much of a right-wing kook Dean Tran has become, note that “Senior Advisor to the campaign Rafaello Carone” is a Madison Cawthorn guy. #mapoli #ma3

Look at Dean Tran’s narcissistic whopper erasing the historic Dan Koh, Bopha Malone, and Beej Das campaigns in 2018.

“Apparently you can only achieve recognition as an Asian-Amerian if you’re a Republican.” Isn’t that right @massgop @JimLyonsMA ? #mapoli #ma3

Great article from @ditikohli_ at @BostonGlobe on Boston's historic lack of nightlife and where it's heading now. Good to see this touching on the ability of the City to attract talent and bring destinations to different neighborhoods. #mapoli #bospoli

"After a brief chase"

So, no 60 bullets to the back?!🙄🤦🏾‍♂️ Black folks run a stop sign and cops somehow can NEVER manage to capture POC alive. But when white folks massacre countless, they always somehow make it into custody safe and sound. Funny how that works! #BOSpoli #MApoli

BREAKING: 15 minutes ago, Robert Crimo was spotted by police. He fled from police. After a brief chase, he was stopped and arrested, police say. @cbschicago
