Dear President Trump, I was supposed to go back to work today but I woke up with a bad sore throat. I think this is the 7th or 8th sick day I’ve taken since you’ve been in office, which is more than I took in the entire previous 17 years at the VA combined. There … Continue reading Transparency isn’t your strong suit

We won’t be unseen or unheard
Dear President Trump, Your top dollar Mar-a-lago New Year’s Eve party is probably starting to hop about now. Are you donating the entrance fee to charity? How about donating to an anti-bullying campaign to support Melania’s chosen cause? If you were to make a strong gesture in the direction of stopping bullying, it would be … Continue reading We won’t be unseen or unheard
How did we get here?
Dear President Trump, It is absolutely absurd we have to be thankful a racist, homophobic, lawless man who is facing highly credible accusations of child abuse narrowly lost a US Senate race. What the hell? How is this even possible? And now we have a national newspaper's editorial board saying our President isn't fit to … Continue reading How did we get here?
You are keeping the right people happy
Dear President Trump, I am certain the talking head people on Fox & Friends (which always makes me think of Fantastic Mr. Fox and his strange friends when I type it) and Breitbart have been solidly on point all along with the idea that you are doing exactly what your base wants you to do … Continue reading You are keeping the right people happy
We need to be safe to do our thing
Dear President Trump, I've told you before how I run early in the morning, but what I haven't shared is how careful I am to cross the street if I see a man up ahead, to stay within certain geographic bounds so as to avoid going anywhere near the frat houses down by the U, … Continue reading We need to be safe to do our thing
We can’t let up for a second
Dear President Trump, There's a lot of excitement and relief coming over the liberal airwaves after yesterday's victories for Democrats in Virginia and New Jersey. Predictably you came out all peevish, blaming the Virginia loser, Gillespie for not "embracing" you fully even though he duly aped all your divisive, hateful rhetoric. I don’t really understand … Continue reading We can’t let up for a second
The wonderful, radical Peruvian beauty pageant
Dear President Trump, I missed an incredibly fantastic angle when I wrote you yesterday about the radical Peruvian beauty pageant contestants. It must have galled you as a former beauty pageant owner and unabashed misogynist that they used this venue where women are traditionally treated as so much eye candy for men and turned it … Continue reading The wonderful, radical Peruvian beauty pageant
Vital statistics
Dear President Trump, So, so much going on, it is incredibly hard to know where to shine the light. I think I'll start with a sweet thing. Two weeks ago my daughter lost her wallet when she was in Boston and today she got a little package in the mail from someone in Boston with … Continue reading Vital statistics
We have to be relentless
Dear President Trump, I'm betting you are thanking your sick lucky stars for Sayfullo Saipov and his horrible, murderous attack yesterday in NYC since all the coverage of the Mueller indictments slipped below the fold. Don’t get too comfortable though -- Mueller is clearly just getting started. Did you see in the paper today that … Continue reading We have to be relentless
The pendulum is slamming back
Dear President Trump, Have you been to the National Museum of African American History? I'm guessing you haven't been so when you do go, I suggest you set aside most of a day and not plan much for later because you will be exhausted if you take in even a 20th of what is there. … Continue reading The pendulum is slamming back
