If Mitt had used hand sanitizer

UncategorizedBy John YoungSeptember 18, 2012Leave a comment

  I have no other explanation for this except in terms of the petri dish.   None but the kind of culture that goes from throat swab to black plague.   Take a moderate, statesmanlike, center-right Republican. Expose him constantly to the germs of extreme ideology and backwater stagnation. Watch fever consume him.    Watch his…

Flash mob against No Child Left Behind

UncategorizedBy John YoungSeptember 12, 2012Leave a comment

    This is Quebec souring on maple syrup.     This is France joining the Coalition of the Willing.     This is Alabama lawmakers swearing off public use of Bible verses.     This is Texas seeking a waiver from No Child Left Behind.     For those current-events challenged, the first three are fanciful,…

Just say they have mis-facted

UncategorizedBy John YoungSeptember 4, 2012Leave a comment

   Sure, Paul Ryan walked truth off the pier and into Tampa Bay in concrete loafers.    Sure, newspapers rushed to press whole special sections cataloging the extent of factual impairment he exhibited, not even having room for that lie about his time running the marathon.    I quibble nonetheless with The Washington Post’s Eugene…

Bizarro biology and women’s bodies

UncategorizedBy John YoungAugust 29, 2012Leave a comment

   As Isaac headed into the gulf, the Republicans were talking up a storm. Not about elixirs for the economy their policies helped wreck, but about a subject that is a certain loser in November:    How best for government to dictate the result of a woman’s unwanted pregnancy.     Mitt Romney says he would…

Their fervent desire: government by taboo

UncategorizedBy John YoungAugust 22, 2012Leave a comment

    When a Russian court sentenced lyrical outrage mavens Pussy Riot last week to two years in prison for “hooliganism,” American indignation swelled, and not just among punk rockers.    The crime: In protest against Vladimir Putin and the powerful Russian Orthodox Church, the group performed a disrespectful publicity stunt in a Moscow cathedral.  …

Mittnomics: comfort for comfortable

UncategorizedBy John YoungAugust 14, 2012Leave a comment

   Points to Mitt Romney. Paul Ryan, unlike the last Republican nominee for vice president, is not a toy surprise from the bottom of a cereal box.     What we have in Ryan is the box — the package — for the flakes Romney sells. Now to see if America is buying.     Unlike…

Stunning feats in false economy

UncategorizedBy John YoungAugust 8, 2012Leave a comment

   Don’t you hate freeloaders?    Those who won’t carry their weight?    Those who cost others because they don’t use common sense and available resources to best possible uses?     Me, too. That’s why I was bothered recently to hear from people incensed by the prospect of having to have health insurance under…

Louie Gohmert explains it all

UncategorizedBy John YoungAugust 1, 2012Leave a comment

   Congressman Louie Gohmert has it figured out. A mass murder in Colorado. Mass suicides by Iraqi and Afghan veterans. Blame them on one thing:    Godlessness.    “What really gets me as a Christian, is to see the ongoing attacks on Judeo-Christian beliefs and then a senseless crazy act of terror like this takes place,”…

NRA fantasies and fallacies

UncategorizedBy John YoungJuly 24, 2012Leave a comment

    If the gun lobby is to be our guide, he exercised his Second Amendment rights in ways our founders intended — using arms to keep an invasive government at bay.    His weapons did just that, until law enforcement disarmed or removed all the explosive devices James Holmes rigged up in his Aurora, Colo.,…

Ablaze over Olympian blazers

UncategorizedBy John YoungJuly 18, 2012Leave a comment

  Jerry Seinfeld was gold — gold, I tell ya — when he said, in effect, all sports fans do is root for laundry.   Whatever the sport: We may hardly know the players, but what stirs us to song is the colors they wear.   So, what song emanates when the laundry is Chinese, yet…
