Old School

The election is bearing down, and today’s media is leading us into it. Cleaning out old files, I found something long forgotten about how it worked. It was a sheaf of notes nineteen years old. It was stunning, reading about how this current reality was formed. The wounds of 9/11 were still raw and everyone […]

Swamp Postcard: Red Mirage

Marlow’s Note: Whenever America’s leaders point to what it values or way of life as being be threatened or directly attached, we can count on our working white Americans to go off in a homicidal swarm to “defend our way of life.” This is not just for cases of kinetic warfare. It’s a proven theorem […]

What’s Next?

Editor’s Note: Want the cartoon version? Several pals have been batting that around. It goes something like this for likelihood. Mr. Biden will do the best his handlers can manage. I have tried to mange the affairs of people who had varieties of progressive cognitive decline. This campaign incorporates many aspects of it. So, first […]

New Lists

Today is like the 210th rainy day in the Commonwealth of this wild and not so wonderful year. A Monday, in fact, which used to have a special significance in the working week. The beginning of the daunting mass of tasks, memos, calls and conversations to manage over the other four days. All of which […]

More Fun With Numbers

Events, as they used to say as a bridge in the old motion picture serial adventures, continue. Some don’t. As you know, I am following the wild chaos of the election with great interest and more than a little humor. My experience in generating favorable public messaging ran alongside the real political pros, and I […]

Swamp Postcard: Election Frolics and Bring an Umbrella!

It has been a great week- a confluence of natural and other events that is quite remarkable. The Big Storm- this one is Laura- came ashore in Louisiana long after I surrendered and went to bed. I slept through the weakening of the maelstrom from Cat Four + down to Cat One as it plowed […]

Just Released: Audiobook NILO Ha tien

Gentle Readers, This special issue of The Daily does not mark a change in our editorial policy of restricting those irritating ads and random screen clutter. It marks something else entirely. A new adventure! As you may have noticed over the last couple decades, I have been fascinated by how the vast global system works. […]

Disclaimers

I don’t know about you- one never can, on any particular issue these days. Particularly if there is something that sweeps over the fetid political sewer that so divides us these days. I have pals on all sides of all sorts of issues. Some of them have been fulminating about the current President since before […]

Sherlee Will Save Us

We talked about this a while back, as the current round of scandals was playing out as “new news.” It is hard to keep track, but I do my civic duty as I can, without leaving the farm, maintaining social distance when I have to and masking if I happen to be at home on […]

Swamp Postcard: The Scandal de Jour

It is easier to predict the next scandal, which is determined by what day it is, than to try to sweep up the de jours of the last week of political maneuverings. Great fun, and thoroughly enjoyable. The State of New York continues it’s battle with the Federal Government. The valiant defenders of liberty have […]
