Democrats Will Not Win Elections Again Until

March 14, 2017 By mannygoldstein Leave a Comment

all Clintonites/Third Wayers are totally removed from any positions of any importance within our party. They've been running the show for 25 years, and the nicest thing that can be said about them is that they totally suck at winning … [Read more...]

So… at what point should sane states secede?

February 23, 2017 By mannygoldstein 12 Comments

Or at least try to secede? It's pretty clear that there are many badly-broken things in our country. Our federal government is run by nuts, kleptomaniacs, and sadists. Our health care and health care reimbursement systems are a bizarre … [Read more...]

My unsolicited environmental recommendation of the day: this episode of "Why Is This Happening?"

The conversation between @drvolts and @chrislhayes is accessible to those who know little about the power system, and it's smart, funny and quite profound. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/powering-the-grid-with-david-roberts/id1382983397?i=1000510291170

OPINION: Despite the governor's shortcomings -- most recently, the rollout of the COVID vaccine -- none of the state's Democrats show any interest in challenging him in 2022. https://wbur.fm/3k9W2nf
