Americans… We are so arrogant. So confident that we have the best country, the best people, the best government. We’re number One. USA! USA! USA! But increasingly, we don’t have a clue what we’re talking about. Objectively, America is hardly the best at anything anymore. Our education system sucks, our health care system is unaffordable, […]
So we’re finally almost there. Decision Time 2016. The lines have been clearly drawn. On the right we have Trump – the unhinged, egomaniacal, sexist, racist, pumped-up contractor-cum-reality-TV-host.

It begins in kindergarten, when we are taught to Pledge Allegiance to the flag – well before we have any idea what the flag represents, or […]
One of the many interesting anomalies of this 2016 Presidential election campaign has been the re-emergence of the concept of The Establishment.
