Catholic convert 2024 -- home at last. Recovering Republican (American Solidarity Party, baby). Mom of 4 adult kids, one w/ autism. I write to articulate, relate, & indulge the imp on my shoulder. I love books, research, ideas, and funny stuff.

  1. Rationing of COVID vaccines by RFK2 is the death panel the Right feared but with a twist. They warned that universal health care would ration care to the well and deem the sick not worthy of care. RFK2 is rationing the COVID vaccine to the sick and deeming the well not worthy of care.

  2. I don't know if JD Vance is only pretending not to get what Newsom is doing or if he really is that obtuse. GN's posts are parody, satire -- they ape DJT's posts to show how over the top they are. GN is mocking DJT not because DJT is that good (as JDV would suggest) but because DJT is that bad.

  3. The much-vaunted meritocracy sounds good in theory. We've been taught it's the cornerstone of the American Way. But look closely -- and read widely, as I have -- and you will see that in fact it keeps power in the hands of the powerful. Meritocracy is a myth.

    White bigots are cheering the end of DEI, claiming we’re ‘back to a merit system.’ But when have you ever been truly merited individuals? You’ve hidden behind this so-called meritocracy for generations; sneaky, lying cowards using it as cover while you rig the system in your favor.
