Denying the Climate of Fear

Robert I. Grundfest — Sun, 13 Mar 2016 16:04:18 +0000

It was certainly bound to happen. After all, one of Donald Trump’s earliest backers hosted the same crowd when she was running for national office. This is what happens when a politician plays into the anger with more anger and blame and bluster and racism and Islamophobia and, above all, ignorance. Look, Bernie Sanders has […]

Political Junkies Unite! It’s Time to Vote

Robert I. Grundfest — Sun, 31 Jan 2016 23:08:55 +0000

I predict that the global rise in temperature will show a significant decline on Monday as all the hot air bloviators, pollsters, consultants and media talking heads hold their steamy breath as they await the results of the Iowa caucuses. And why shouldn’t they? The numbers all say that Donald Trump will win the caucuses […]

Mrs. MacDowell 1 Exxon 0: Why I Knew in 1970 What Big Oil Still Denies

Robert I. Grundfest — Sun, 08 Nov 2015 16:53:43 +0000

OK, let’s go back to the halcyon days of the 1969-70 school year when I was in fourth grade. My teacher was one of those cool, hip, young people who knew how to reach children, to excite them to learn, and to inject a bit of reality and responsibility into them as they began to […]

Forget Iran: The GOP Goes Nuclear

Robert I. Grundfest — Sun, 27 Sep 2015 16:09:17 +0000

Francis comes in, John Boehner bows out. There is a certain symmetry to some world events and this is one of those moments. Here we have a Pope who is speaking forcefully and eloquently about how the issues of the day and all the right wing can do is reject his message as an ill-conceived […]

Congressional Republicans Admit – “Climate change is real and is not a hoax”

Ezra Grant — Thu, 22 Jan 2015 01:54:59 +0000

But don’t worry Republican voters, this coming to their senses is only temporary. When they campaign in their next elections, these same Republicans would tell you all that climate change is a hoax, and like the faithful sheep that you are, you will love them for it. Lord help us all! The Senate on Wednesday voted […]

The Pendulum Swings Both Ways

Robert I. Grundfest — Sun, 04 Jan 2015 17:52:23 +0000

It took about 35 years, but the Republican Party is just where it wants to be. They have a Congressional majority and are flush with the optimism of a political movement that they believe has broad popular support. They are looking forward to perhaps winning the presidency in 2016 and finally being able to […]

Barack: Hack Attack Lacks Tact, but Raoul Is Cool

Robert I. Grundfest — Mon, 22 Dec 2014 03:19:16 +0000

As I said before, it really doesn’t feel like the holidays, and with the events of the past week I would guess that others are wondering where the spirit went. Or when it’s really going to arrive. The Sony hacking is certainly a wake-up call for anyone who doubts the severity of our online, privacy-free, […]

America and China Reach Major Deal on Fighting Climate Change

Ezra Grant — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 11:28:49 +0000

And you thought the president went on a meaningless trip to China. The man is always working, even when the do-nothing Congress does nothing! In a surprise announcement Tuesday night, the world’s two biggest economies and greenhouse gas emitters, United States and China, said they will partner closely on a broad-ranging package of plans to […]

Jon Stewart Explains Science to the Moronic Republicans on The Science Committee – Video

Ezra Grant — Tue, 23 Sep 2014 18:52:12 +0000

Mr.Jon Stewart? I feel your frustrations. I understand exactly what you’re saying. How the… why is it that the dumbest people in the Republican party, the ones always wearing their permanently attached dunce-caps… why are they the ones on the “Republican House Committee on Science, Space and Technology?” I mean, is this a joke? This […]

Google – It Was a “Mistake” to Support ALEC, Climate Deniers are “Literally Lying”

Ezra Grant — Tue, 23 Sep 2014 13:34:50 +0000

It is my hope that we will all wake up to the seriousness of Climate change before it is too late. Republicans nationwide and their buddies in Congress have bent backwards trying to appease the lobbyists and those protecting polluters, and today, any talk of legislation to address climate change is considered a declaration of […]

I BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW THAT A POLAR BEAR WAS ARRESTED TODAY

MIKE — Tue, 23 Sep 2014 04:35:58 +0000

As seen on America The Not So Beautiful September 22, 2014 By Mike Caccioppoli I didn’t know that a polar bear was arrested either. Until I went to one of the few places where real news can be found, Twitter. I was watching cable news of the non Fox variety and all I was hearing about […]
