Please, Posthumously Pardon Marcus Garvey
Early this week, The Gleaner, Jamaica’s oldest and most respected daily newspaper, reported on that country’s continuing efforts to pave the way for the United States – and specifically, President Barack Obama – to grant a posthumous pardon to Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Jr., for his 1923 mail fraud conviction. Born on August 17, 1887, in St. Ann’s Bay, Jamaica, Garvey was a … [Read more...] about Please, Posthumously Pardon Marcus Garvey
Politix Update: Trump’s Predations Are Redefining The Presidential Race. How About Society?
We owe Donald Trump an enormous debt. Seriously. Beyond him assuring a Hillary Clinton presidency when another Republican might have beaten her, his own repellent grab-and-brag behavior has forced a long overdue national discussion on the objectification and sexual debasement of women. It is not that women do not talk about such things. Of course they do, and sometimes … [Read more...] about Politix Update: Trump’s Predations Are Redefining The Presidential Race. How About Society?
There’s at least one way the Republican Party can repair itself after Trump (Guest Voice)
Barring an act of God, the race for the White House this year is probably over. With each passing day and each Donald Trump obscenity, it looks more like game, set and match for Hillary Clinton. But that doesn't mean the remaining weeks of the campaign are without meaning or not worth watching. Indeed, they could… … [Read more...] about There’s at least one way the Republican Party can repair itself after Trump (Guest Voice)
GOP is ill (Part 2)
Dear Republicans: In my previous post DEAR REPUBLICANS: YOUR PARTY IS ILL I say things that you probably don't want anyone to say about your political party. If you don't like what I said, then you probably won't like what John Kasich recently said about the GOP. You do remember who John Kasich is, right? He isn't just a member of your Party. He is a leader within your … [Read more...] about GOP is ill (Part 2)

What We Need Is A Little More Anarchy
As a lifelong anarchist — of the party-throwing, not bomb–throwing, sort — I'm sick and tired of being mischaracterized. People who should know better cry, "Anarchy!" every time things get chaotic and start falling apart. That's wrong. Anarchists don't create chaos. They have the goal of getting things done without … [Read more...] about What We Need Is A Little More Anarchy
Shame on Trump? Shame on us.
WASHINGTON -- Last week, I took a break from reporting on the Trump campaign's well-deserved and long-awaited implosion to observe Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement. On this day, we symbolically beat our breasts with fists as we say the Ashamnu (literally, "we are guilty") confession: "We betray. We steal. We scorn. We act perversely. We are cruel. We scheme. We … [Read more...] about Shame on Trump? Shame on us.

Dear Democrats: Your Party is no bed of roses.
Dear Democrats: The GOP may look pathetic right now, but your own political party is no bed or roses, either. Frankly, there is a reason why Independent voters like me are Independents instead of Democrats. We have seen what happens when the Democratic Party has control over both houses of Congress and the White House. The last time that happened, the Democratic Party … [Read more...] about Dear Democrats: Your Party is no bed of roses.

The Unmaking Of The Celebrity Apprentice
A rookie politician must either have the hide of a rhinoceros or, if you are an apprentice, you have to grow one. The movement to stop Trump is working in part because of his thin-skinned, instinctual reaction to the attack on his character. He's shown his vulnerability to personal attacks in what for him is a predictable way: threatening to sue the media outlets reporting the … [Read more...] about The Unmaking Of The Celebrity Apprentice
