WHCA Dinner: ‘A Horrible Time To Be Covering Trump’

Overcast skies with a semblance of rain-to-come this late-afternoon Saturday in California’s Central Valley. Rain was forecast for today, but so far we’ve been high and dry. Maybe later: The annual White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner is tonight — shit ain’t the same in T-Rump time, making it sour-like to squeeze humor out of…

Republicans Voting For Joe Biden: ‘But, Baby, You Need To Do It’

Journalism as practiced by the MSM once again: In the wake of Mike Pence’s mock-ass verbiage yesterday that he “cannot in good conscience” endorse the T-Rump for president without actually revealing who’d get his vote: ‘Pence did not reveal who he’ll vote for in the 2024 general election, saying that he’ll keep “my vote to…

I know this lede…

A quick move past ugly and focus on rain — Annie Lennox and rain. Instead of news-related shit to bring you way down this Sunday late afternoon, a quick focus on Annie and what an incredible set of pipes she has, especially with my most-favorite song of the last three/four years — an unplugged version…

Sunday Serenade: ‘Rain’ In Drought Land

As half the year has glided by seemingly in a flash full of shit news and real-life weirdness, I need to escape the wiles and worries of the nowadays and drown myself in some ‘rain-prominent‘ music, tunes awash/heard in a near-zero precipitation zone.
