From bad to worse to absurd: Oscar and SNL politics, Israeli atrocities continue, and the dictators club hopes to welcome a new member.  www.charlesbursell.com

Mar 8, 2024

Don’t let them fool you, Joe Biden is too old and his ideas are even older. But, if you’re in a swing state you still have to vote for him because The Orange Menace is existentially worse.   www.charlesbursell.com

Mar 7, 2024

Super Tuesday highlights the shameless anti-democratic nature of the U.S. www.charlesbursell.com

Social Media CEOs grilled by a clueless Congress who still doesn’t get it. The evil in the algorithms is Capitalism!  www.charlesbursell.com

The faux-feminist argument over Barbie and the Oscars is shallow. Art is not always subjective and yes, some opinions about art are just plain wrong. Also, arts awards are stupid and money ruins everything. www.charlesbursell.com

Jan 18, 2024

Joe Biden may be the perfect president for the nation we have, but certainly not for the nation we ought to be. www.charlesbursell.com

Jan 11, 2024

White supremacy and the hottest year on record. Settling for the status quo and saying the quiet part out loud. The Right Wing thrives while the US has no Left at all. Is this just who we are now? www.charlesbursell.com

Jan 4, 2024

The US-supported genocide in Gaza is the main attraction in a coordinated, multi-faceted outbreak of global Fascism. From Netanyahu to Putin to MAGA Republicans, it’s time for us to rise up against the bad guys. www.charlesbursell.com

Dec 28, 2023

Bankrupt Rudy, The Orange Menace on the ballot, reverse-engineering US law, Merrick Garland’s two-year bungle, genocide in Gaza, and good news on Wisconsin’s gerrymandered maps. www.charlesbursell.com
