Election 2016 Analysis Sidebar 7: THE TRUMP LEGACY

THE TRUMP LEGACY Disgruntled middle class voters who tipped the scales in Trump’s favor have given Republicans the keys to all branches of government. The legislative branch had already been under Republican control — since 2014 in the Senate and since 2010 in the House — and with Trump’s election, the Republicans also gained control of the White House. With the confirmation to Neil Gorsuch to…

holy carbon footprint AGAIN Batman! (Why I "love" Amazon (moreover!))

holy carbon footprint AGAIN Batman! (Why I “love” Amazon (moreover!))

Just got the batteries I ordered from Amazon. I’ll admit that I was a little worried that they’d arrive damaged. Amazon didn’t scrimp on packaging for the batteries I ordered. But Amazon had my back and provided lots of extra cushioning. This is why I love Amazon, it puts extra effort and thought into how every order is packaged. I hate getting imperfect batteries. Who cares if I have to throw…

after Trump’s election, the celebrity deaths just keep piling up: in memorium Robert Vaughn and Mose Allison, Robert Vaughn November 22, 1932 to November 11, 2016 I don't know that much about Robert Vaughn's career, but I do know that when I was a kid, he played Napoleon Solo on the 60's TV show

R.I.P. Qwen Ifill; November 14, 2016 and Leon Russell; November 13, 2016

QWEN IFILL I really only knew Qwen Ifill from her days on PBS. Starting soon after the 2000 presidential election, it was a bit of a religion in our household to turn on PBS on Friday nights promptly at 8:00 to watch the Ifill moderated Washington Week. It was simply the best recap and discussion of the week’s news. Even though we had small children at that time, it was quiet time in our house.…

Leonard Cohen in memorandum; November 7, 2016 As if he foresaw that he would not be able to tolerate a Trump presidency and had already decided not to move back to his native Canada, Leonard Cohen died in his sleep on November 7th, 2016, a day before the 2016 U.S.

Pat Buchanan says Trump might win. Pat who, you say?

In a recent interview, citing wide-spread discontent among the white working class, Pat Buchanan said that Trump might just win this election. You remember Pat Buchanan don’t you? You don’t? This election has been more about the media deciding what we should be thinking rather than about the issues or even the candidates. They have artfully succeeded in turning this race — between a pompous ass…

dump Trump items now available for express shipping

[metaslider id=879] Some of the other items that I created. If you choose express shipping (which will probably be more than the price of your order) you still might get something back before the election. I think the Trump Pig head could have been a meme for this election, but maybe it still might become one after the election. Souvenirs anyone? Dump Trump Items Now Available for Express Shipping

holy late to the party Batman!: anti-Trump items now available for express shipping

Now available for express shipping! Every recent election cycle, I create some bumperstickers and such. Last year I got mad at Cafe Press, so I quit them in favor of Zazzle. I found the Zazzle interface painfully tedious and time consuming. And I also had other priorities for my time. So I’m just publicizing this now, which is totally ridiculous since the election is less than a week away. If you…
