As ever, the promised reduction in nuclear stockpiles is a good thing: The treaty would require each side to reduce deployed strategic nuclear warheads to roughly 1,600, down from 2,200 now, officials have said. It would also oblige each side to reduce its arsenal of strategic bombers and land- and sea-based missiles to 800, half … Read More “Nuke Arms Reductions Will Always Be Modest” »
Hey, remember when President Obama got Chief Justice Roberts all chuffed with this State of the Union rebuke? With all due deference to separation of powers, last week the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests –- including foreign corporations –- to spend without limit … Read More “The Public Option Never Had a Chance” »

For reasons why, click the image above and play the YouTube videos I embedded. I think they speak for themselves.
My slowly proceeding plan to take over the world has taken a significant step today: my first podcast interview was published at the Becky & Joe Show.

Still, it’s helpful that Frank Rich put together in three paragraphs a litany of the intelligence and national security madness pursued by the previous White House: Obama may well make — or is already making — his own mistakes. And he will bear responsibility for them. But they must be … Read More “In Case You Forgot…” »

Once again I go inside baseball with a political caricature. Today it’s Liz Cheney and Bill Kristol as dung beetles, which I fear unjustly insults dung beetles. After all, they roll balls of shit into perfect spheres, a truly impressive accomplishment for creatures with no geometric sciences to speak of.
