How Stuff Works, “The Dictator’s Handbook” 0

David talks with Professor Alastair Smith about his book, The Dictator’s Handbook. I find it an interesting perspective on realpolitik.

(At about the 10 minute mark, the discussion turns to U. S. politics. If you don’t want to listen to the whole thing, I’d strongly recommend picking up the discussion there. And, remember, voting is not a right, it’s a duty.)

A Tune for the Times 0

Mangy comments at the YouTube page:

If Donald Trump could sing (or think in complete sentences) he would write a song. (A song the likes of which no one’s ever heard before, believe me.) Since Mangy Fetlocks has more intellectual capacity in his elbow than Trump has in his bloated orange head, AND since Mangy is a musical older guy with too much time on his hands, he decided to write a song for Trump to sing in prison.

The writer of a letter to the editor of the Las Vegas Sun sees a precedent for today’s Republican Party.

In the same vein, Miami Herald columnist Fabiola Santiago is fears that Florida Governot DeSantis’s Republican Party is moving towards one-party rule. Here’s a snippet from her article (emphasis added); follow the link for context.

After easily winning the gubernatorial election and obtaining a Republican supermajority in the Legislature that allows the party to act unimpeded, GOP chairman Chris Ziegler says he’ll take nothing less than eradicating the Democratic Party. His threat to give Democrats no seat at all at the table is very real.

Republicans are acting like the hemisphere’s evil regimes. They know it, but don’t care.
