Defeat is an orphan. But defeated Democrats, themselves responsible for losing an election to Donald Trump that should have been easy to win, are flailing about trying to pin the blame on everyone but themselves.
Democrats Are Still Scared of Trump
•
Donald Trump left office six months ago, but traumatized Democrats are terrified that he could figure out some way to return to power, for example returning to the White House through an upset victory in 2024. While it is certainly possible that he could pull a Grover Cleveland, maybe they should focus on encouraging the Democratic Party to address voters’ needs now in order to reduce the chances of such a catastrophe.
Settled Science
•
Does the Earth go around the sun, or does the sun go around the Earth? When asked that question in a poll, 1 in 4 Americans surveyed answered that the sun revolves around the earth. But hey, we have to respect their feelings too.
Dead and Homeless
•
Weeks after his death, Boston Marathon Bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s corpse is still homeless. Where will he end up?
To Be a Republican
•
After a blizzard hit Washington, right-wing morons argued that it proved that climate change was a hoax. Why don’t they draw the opposite conclusion from a heat wave?
Terrorist Phone Call Ad
•
The Clinton campaign rolled out, and the Obama campaign immediately issued a retort to, what looks likely to become one of the iconic television ads of the 2008 race: an image of a red hotline phone ringing at three in the morning in the White House. Many people have parodied this ad, but my take emphasizes the hilarious implication that troublemakers are so inconsiderate as to spark crises while civilized Americans are trying to catch some shut-eye.
