A Remembrance of Crisis Past

March 13, 2020 By petr

I am certain that my fellow Americans expect that on my induction into the Presidency I will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our people impel. This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the … [Read more...]

Make the T free.

February 1, 2019 By petr

Michelle Wu writes an op-ed in the Globe suggesting (as I've long advocated) that the T be made fare-less, that is to say, free. I'd like to re-iterate my wholehearted endorsement to this idea. What would the T cost to simply be a … [Read more...]

Here’s a local something that hasn’t received a lot of attention here…

January 18, 2019 By petr

The NatGrid lockout and subsequent victory by the steelworkers union. I confess I wasn't following it all that closely myself but was reminded of it by this Steve Tolman piece in Commonwealth Magazine where he lauds the union for sticking … [Read more...]

Tis true, ’tis pity, And pity ’tis ’tis true.

January 17, 2019 By petr

Let the majority be the majority…

November 20, 2018 By petr

Predictably, the next presidential race has started, in earnest, and, just as predictably, calls for radical change in the Democratic Party are heard again and again. This is ridiculous. The Democratic Party is not in need of rebirth. In … [Read more...]

The Blue Wave is real…

November 7, 2018 By petr

The latest number I've seen is 8.5 percent blue over 50, for the House. That's the popular vote: the sum total of all House elections, 58.5 percent team blue. Almost 59 out of every 100 persons who voted, are part of the blue wave. When … [Read more...]

Guerrilla tactics of the insurgent ruling party…

October 26, 2018 By petr

Wait... What? Guerrilla tactics? For the insurgent ruling party? How can a ruling party be 'insurgent'? How can they employ 'guerrilla' tactics, if they are in charge? Well, what else would you call 11 pipe bombs (so far) to the … [Read more...]

Who Elected You?

September 5, 2018 By petr

Some anonymous lickspittle in the White House has penned, anonymously, a rather smug, self-congratulatory notice of a coup. The New York Times was docile enough to publish it. I have one question for this anonymous crypto-fascist: Who … [Read more...]

Charlie NOT on the MBTA….

July 31, 2018 By petr

Though I'm a little perturbed, and somewhat disturbed, that the otherwise fine satirists of BMG left it to me and my poor efforts to update the relationship between a man name Charlie and the Boston transit infrastructure, I must admit to a … [Read more...]
