L.G.B.T., Lesbians, Gays, Bi-sexual and Transgender, a succinct acronym, no problem. Apparently it isn't sufficient. Lately we're hearing a Q added at the end. Donald Trump, of all people, said this in his acceptance slash the world is ending speech in Cleveland. He slightly snickered when it slipped from his pie hole but did manage to get it out. There's no way he came up with the line so it must have been Ivanka. But the Trumps did not invent it. If they had the Q would be in gold followed by another T, much larger than the first. This new thing seems to be spreading but it's not new. Where was I? Oh yes, I was still using proper dictionaries when this total perversion of a word took root. In the past year and a half it's common use has begun with the blessings of the Equality Foundation and even amongst some in the Human Rights Campaign. It should not be used and I will tell you why. The word queer is in fact, less we forget, an actual word. It means odd. Al...

As I take up my digital pen to offer meaningless insight into the political season thus far, I pause to reflect on positive versus negative. Alrighty, that's done. The first two days of the Democratic Party Convention are behind us and the difference between it and what we saw from the Republicans last week is stark. As I've said before, these conventions are heavy on boredom, they're supposed to be. But they are also supposed to be positive and occasionally have dynamic speakers that know how to work an audience. The Democrats are delivering on this. Most importantly they are executing a political convention exactly the way it's supposed to be done. It is flowing smoothly and that includes the disenchanted Bernie Sanders voters. There's supposed to be disgruntled delegates sulking over their candidate losing and threatening to sit home or take their vote elsewhere. Comedian and hardcore Sanders supporter Sarah Silverman said it best, you Bernie or bust people ar...

Witness the awesome power that is Kanesrealm. I called for the resignation of Debbie Wasserman Schultz and just hours later she resigned. This is why tens of you are devoted to reading this blog. My influence is spreading from Hindtit to this nation's capitol or at least as far as Horserump Junction. I knew I should have run for President this year. The little voice in my head said, "Francois, run for President". The little voice in my head calls me Francois, he's more continental than I and a bit of snob, I think he may be French. There are many voices in my head. No there aren't. Yes there are. My mental status not withstanding, it's still worth noting. What is? Farewell Wasserman Schultz, I never knew ye!

The Chair of the Democratic National Committee, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her top leadership need to resign from their positions. The documents which have come to light showing that key leaders of the D.N.C. were discussing ways of discrediting Bernie Sanders is unacceptable. For instance they considered the possibility of casting doubt on his religious faith, which is Judaism. They were going to suggest that he was an atheist. Sanders has spoken about his faith but he never wore it on his sleeve like most politicians. Personally I wish he were an atheist but he's not. The D.N.C. knows full well that the mere accusation is enough to cause damage in a country full of people who profess some kind of religious faith, mostly Christian. All political parties are run by those whose primary goal is to protect the institution of said party. To that end they always have candidates that they prefer and believe have the best chance to win but in theory they are supposed to remain quasi n...

I know you're disappointed, it's not the Kane you wanted, but he's a damn fine second choice! Hillary Clinton has done something Donald Trump did not. She chose the running mate she wanted, the running mate she wants as a governing partner and someone she can trust. There may be some Bernie Sanders supporters that don't like the pick but they need to remember two things, Hillary Clinton won the Democratic Nomination and she has every right to pick the running mate of her choice and do they want a Trump Presidency? Clinton has been very accommodating to the Sanders Team during the platform creation. She has reached out to Bernie and his supporters. Now it's their turn to demonstrate that they really want to move forward or replace rationalism with fatalism in a Trump Presidency. Tim Kaine is an outstanding choice for Vice-president. Constitutionally speaking he has one job and he's more than qualified and capable of delivering on it if called upon. With him C...

All political conventions are boring even for we junkies. But we watch them in the event something important happens or we get a glimmer of something hopeful. The Republican Convention ended in Cleveland last night. It was and I say this with great sincerity, the most vile and negative convention I have witnessed in my lifetime and I've been watching them for decades. I suppose it was to be expected given the way Donald Trump has conducted his campaign since day one. Ivanka Trump gave one of the best and most positive speeches of the convention. Her introduction of her father was a portrait of a man we've never met and didn't see last night. Donald Trump spoke for one hour and fifteen minutes. The longest acceptance speech in modern history. Unbelievably he stayed focused on the teleprompter and delivered his speech as written. Like his rally speeches he doubled down on every whacky thing he has said. He promised the biggest tax cuts in the history of America and then pro...

You invite someone to your home, he drops his pants and shits on the new carpet, what are you to do? That's what Ted Cruz did to Donald Trump last night. In a primetime address that lasted over twenty minutes Cruz did not endorse Trump or say he was the man for the job and ended with vote your conscience. The speech itself was a recitation of untrue Cruziness preparing himself for 2020. Cruz believes that Trump is going to lose and as the man who came closest to defeating him, he will be turned to after November to lead an American Shadow Cabinet against the Clinton Administration. He is of course deluding himself however, stranger things have happened, such as Trump for President. Newt Gingrich tried to mend the fences over Cruz when he spoke and then proceeded to scare the children with threats of nuclear holocaust on the East Coast. Eric Trump gave a speech extolling the virtues of his father and thanked him for his life. I'm sure membership in the Trump lucky sperm club ...
