House Committee Assignments: The Good, The Bad, The Ridiculous
Guess Speaker Pete decided that Sunday afternoon was a good time to release the House Committee assignments. As if we wouldn’t notice. The short story: This is decidedly the handiwork of Pete Schwartzkopf, with his police pals and his hangers-on getting plum assignments. You can check out the assignments here. Just click on each committee […]
Mike Ramone’s Term Limits Bill Is A Bleeping Joke
Folks, you just gotta read this bill. Introduced yesterday, along with another Ramone bill that is a bleeping joke, HB 33 purports to be a constitutional amendment creating term limits, but it’s utterly pathetic and ineffectual. Oh, and unnecessary (more on that in a few sentences). Here’s the substance of the the bill in its […]
Enjoy A Great Concert, Have A Complimentary Libation, Courtesy Of El Somnambulo

OK, I’m not gonna run through all 41 house races. I’m not that sadistic, and I would hope that you’re not that masochistic. I’ll just cover the ones that interest me as of this moment: RD 2: Will self-dealer Stephanie Bolden retire, or will she for once face a decent challenger? RD 3: Likely of […]
Melanie George Smith Even Phonier Than I Thought
I knew her ‘sustainability’ bill stunk to high heaven. I couldn’t figure out what the purpose was for this bill. Now I know. It was a bill designed to create a cottage industry where Melanie George Smith could prosper. But I’m getting ahead of myself. This is truly a blatant self-dealing conflict-of-interest. First read this […]

“In the field of opportunity, it’s plowin’ time again.”- Neil Young. Hoo, boy, ya’ think 2018 was fun? Let’s just check out 2020. Here’s who/what will be on the Election Day ballot: US President: Yes, whether Trump runs could have an impact on Republican fortunes. If he does, support will be limited to western Sussex […]

So, I Saw ‘Vice’ Today…
Liked it, didn’t love it. If the trailer makes you think it’s gonna be full of laffs, you’ll be disappointed. If you didn’t know what a monster Cheney was, you will after you’ve seen it. Most of the performances were of the ‘caricature’ variety. Yes, Christian Bale effectively inhabited Cheney, but Cheney’s emotional range, to […]
