California busts NIMBY dreaming

Can YIMBYs beat the regressives, both left and right? — Jeffrey Denny Kudos to California for rejecting the NIMBYism that’s fueled the state’s — and the nation’s — affordable housing crisis that hurts working families, especially people of color, the most.

Six ways to survive February

Tips to enjoy the shortest-longest month — Jeffrey Denny T.S. Elliot was wrong. He said April is the cruelest month because it brings the hope of spring, and nothing is crueler than hope. Nope.

Pickleball is the new Trumpism

Making America More Irritating — Jeffrey Denny On Monday morning, my back yard was the usual serene slice of paradise.

This occurred without my permission but apparently…

“Baby on Board”? Feh.

There are better warnings for more dangerous cars to avoid — Jeffrey Denny Driving with a baby in the car is scarier than having a baby. Seems so, given how modern babies need to be tightly strapped into massive zero-gravity car seats that meet not just NHTSA but also NASA, NASCAR, IKEA, OSHA, American Orthopedic Association, Consumer Reports, Barcalounger, and Motion…

Rejected demands by the House MAGA Caucus

Gaetz Gang got greedy — Jeffrey Denny The McCarthy-Gaetz Treaty of 2023 stands as one of the greatest peace pacts since the 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas. You know, when the Papal State negotiated a deal between Portugal and Spain over who got to conquer and colonize Central and South America the most. Win-win. Similarly win-win…

O Kevin! My Kevin!

Your fearful trip has just begun* — Jeffrey Denny “Nominative determinism” says thy name is destiny. For instance, don’t name your sweet newborn “Henry Charles Albert David, Prince Harold, Duke of Sussex.” He/they might grow up to look eerily like a keto Seth Rogen and “write” a New York Times best-selling memoir about your terrible horrible no…

Can I still be a good climate-woke lib? — Jeffrey Denny “For a century, we’ve loved our cars. They haven’t loved us back.” So offered a New Yorker story headline in 2019. This was before Covid thinned the roads of cars and let streateries take over the streets with eateries. …

Loving the GOP schadenfreude smorgasbord

An unlimited buffet of tasty karma dishes — Jeffrey Denny Every spring, the skies over the quaint Ohio town of Hinckley Ridge, just south of Cleveland, are darkened by a swarm of giant, ungainly and ridiculously fugly turkey vultures.

Other 2023 House Republican majority investigations

Revenge is a dish best served grilled like Democrat witnesses before the new House GOP Un-American Activities Committee — Jeffrey Denny Rage addicts, left and right, can’t wait for the MAGA-enslaved Republicans to sunder their morals, self-respect, oath of office and the Constitution as they settle into the House majority. The MAGA-cowed confederacy of GOP dunces is already drooling to take delicious revenge on the America-hating Socialist Democrats.
