Gaffes are an inevitable part of the long campaign season for the presidency, a problem made worse when they became more expensive, requiring an extra year just to raise money. Throw in more debates, and candidates, brain weary and tongue tied, will find it hard to avoid the regrettable “inartful comment.” The last few weeks … Read More “Fetch: Gaffes” »

Am I supposed to mourn a hateful man when he dies? Certainly Antonin Scalia could be much worse (consider Osama bin Laden or Ronald Reagan), but the negative impact he had on the lives affected by his jurisprudence was not minor. The next jurist to replace him will most likely be better and join in … Read More “Fetch: Scalia” »
Digital sketches of some GOP candidates I have been posting to the social media. Ben Carson recently contended that Darwin was influenced by “the Adversary” (i.e., Satan) in theorizing evolution, and religion is a good enough probable cause for searches.

The most recent legislative move is in Nevada, where legislator Michele Fiore, as quoted in the NYT article, said the very thing quoted in the second panel drawn above. I was pretty stunned, then admittedly … Read More “Guns On Campus” »
As police continue their investigation of the murder of three Muslim students in Chapel Hill, NC, neighbor testimony supports the finding that one of the bugbears working on Craig Hicks’ mind was a fixation with parking space etiquette. So to be clear, I don’t dismiss his aggressive policing of parking spaces as a contributing … Read More “Parking Space Atheists” »
The main thrust of President Obama’s speech at the National Prayer Breakfast last week was to separate war from religion. Good luck with that. Simply acknowledging the ways religion and war have been bound up with each other — along with other forms of violence like slavery and Jim Crow — was enough to send … Read More “Violence and Religion” »
One of the more ridiculous things said by libertarian extremists this week (who knows what next week might bring?) came from Senator Thom Tillis about government regulation of restaurants: Tillis said he was at a Starbucks in 2010 talking to a woman about regulations and where businesses should be allowed to opt out. His coffee … Read More “Sketchbook: Tillis Burgers” »
