Tactics, Political Tactics

Big Red Car — Sun, 09 Aug 2020 19:16:16 +0000

Outcomes in life are determined by the tactics you employ with which to grapple with it. If you were spit out by a military school, as was I, you will learn basic infantry tactics like attacking a hill with a platoon of 50 men employing something called “fire and maneuver.” Part of the platoon fires […]

Nancy Pelosi’s Side — Let Them Eat Ice Cream

Big Red Car — Fri, 24 Apr 2020 17:02:58 +0000

I’m considering things great and small when my phone rings. I do not recognize the number, but the ring itself feels like a political survey, so I answer. “Stand by for the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi,” the voice says. It sounds eerily like the Emperor in Star Wars. So, I wait. I wait. […]

Lives In The Balance — Damn You, Nancy Pelosi

Big Red Car — Wed, 25 Mar 2020 21:40:02 +0000

Today, the United States Congress House of Representatives returned from recess during which the US Senate stayed in town to do the people’s business. In their absence, the US Senate proposed, negotiated, and passed a relief bill to address the WutangCurse pandemic. There was plenty of perfidy on the part of Democrats to try to […]

Big Red Car — Tue, 24 Mar 2020 02:04:38 +0000

OK, this post is really about the WutangCurse relief package intended to aid folks whose jobs have gone up in smoke, jobs about to be lost, small businesses suffering, and about to be pitchforked. But first, dear reader, let’s take a little quiz. Is the following election practice legal in the United States? 1. Can […]

Impeachment — how does that make you feel?

Big Red Car — Fri, 22 Nov 2019 23:07:11 +0000

Today, I am in the prop wash of the Congress going on its 10-day Thanksgiving vacay. It must be nice. [The House didn’t have a chance to run that USMCA — United States Mexico Canada Agreement — the NAFTA replacement through for a vote, but they had plenty of time to deal with Ukraine and […]

The Day Decorum Died in the US Congress

Big Red Car — Wed, 17 Jul 2019 17:23:32 +0000

Spoiler alert — this is a blog post about how the US Congress is wasting their time and our money while engaged in meaningless self-flagellation. So, President Donald J Trump unleashed the power of Twitter in his inimitable style. It offended a few folks. There is no novelty amongst that trio — Trump, Twitter, folks […]
