Twilight of the geniuses

T

Medicare-For-All is not in the Democratic platform, correct? Because Biden is against it. That’s disappointing. One plank I do want to see in the Democrat platform is a pledge of no pardons for Chump or any of his henchmen for the crimes they committed while serving in the Executive Branch. I also want to see a plank calling for a Nuremberg-like trial and investigation into all the...

We need fewer ambitious people a lot more talented people

W

One of the reasons the United States is a failed state is because it is run by people whose ambitions far exceed their talents. That’s why I’m excited that the Democratic Presidential ticket is made up of people who did not go to Ivy League colleges. (Though admittedly Howard has been called the Harvard of Historically Black Colleges.) Ivy League grads are notoriously ambitious. That’s why they...

Why is everyone so afraid of big, bad AOC?

W

Why are all these readers of the “NY Times” and “Washington Post” dumping on AOC? They keep saying she is “too far left.” Well, that would make her middle-of-the-road in Europe. You know Europe, where they are reopening their economies and have nowhere near the unemployment we do. You know Europe, where the number of deaths and cases of the Chump Plague are significantly fewer than here in...

The best third-world public health system money can buy

T

It is absolutely mind-boggling how bad the American public health system is; especially when one considers the hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars that we spend on public health. We’re about to reach 175,000 dead from the Chump Plague, by far the highest death total of any country in the world. Yet this is just one of numerous terrible health outcomes at which this nation excels. So to...

Bloomberg for President bumper stickers!

B

Mike makes me frisky! Bloomberg 2020 Mike Bloomberg—The people’s billionaire. There are 54 billion reasons why Mike Bloomberg should be President. And counting. Occupy Pennsylvania Avenue. Bloomberg for President Mike Bloomberg—Because all the other Democrats suck. Just give Mike the damn nomination already! Bloomberg for President Mighty Mike has come to save the day! Bloomberg for...

On the other hand, if Chump doesn’t feel like being nice…

O

… he can start doing Joe Biden jokes. That would be better than straight-out insults: “Joe was really excited to come to the White House the other day. He thought we were having a sleepover.” “Joe’s a big fan of the Bears. That’s because bears are always hibernating.” “Joe was always jealous of Luca Brasi. Because Luca got to sleep with the fishes.” “Did you hear what Joe said when asked if...

The Democrats getting schooled again

T

Why are we calling it the “Wealth Tax?” Why aren’t we calling it the “Plutocrat Tax?” Or the “Fat Cat Tax?” Or my choice, “The Mr. Burns Tax?” Why do the Republicans always get to set the agenda? One reason is because they employ very good wordsmiths. They’re clever. Democrats don’t seem to value words. For example, Kamala Harris is the only Democrat running...

I got hired by Frank Luntz

I

The famous Republican Party pollster has his office right here in Bethesda. And he’s hired me to come up with some new Republican Party euphemisms. As Frank explains it: “It’s not what you say.  It’s what they hear.” Here’s what I’ve got so far: racial profiling – melanin data collecting income inequality – wage diversity white nationalism – Caucasian conservation anti-Semitism –...

If copywriting was practiced like American medicine

I

If advertising copy was written the way medicine is practiced in this country, we’d have many more copywriting specialists; each expert at a very specific part of the copywriting practice. For example, we’d have copywriters who are experts at headlines. Then we’d have copywriters who are experts at body copy. Also copywriters who are experts at tag lines. We might break this specialization down...

If copywriters billed like hospitals

I

First, I would charge my client for my writing services. Then, I would bill him or her separately for the use of my computer. That would be followed by a charge for the use of the facility in which I do my writing, which is my house. If I also happened to ask my brother what he thinks of what I have written for my client, that would necessitate a fourth billing. And if I should offer visual...
