The End Of The Al Franken Decade
I'm disappointed in Al Franken, but not because he resigned from the Senate. If the Democrats are going to claim the moral upper hand on the sexual harassment issue so they can wield it against Trump and the GOP in the mid-term elections, he had no choice. Besides,...
As I Tweeted
John Lasseter of Pixar steps aside over you-know-what. No wonder the women who worked there wanted to make a movie called “The Credibles.” Clinton-haters want to re-litigate accusations against the ex-president because “the women must be believed.” I’m sure they also...
The Money Shot
Much was made of the photo last week of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and his wife, Louise Linton, holding up a sheet of new $1 bills. It was said to be proof of their arrogance and love of money. After all, he's an ex-Goldman Sachs banker and movie producer, and...

Picture Of The Day
I had never heard of Representative Suzan DelBene of Washington until today, but I've become an immediate fan of hers, based on this video of her at work. On Monday, as the House Ways and Means committee was working on a markup of the GOP's new tax proposal, DelBene...
