Last week, the Reaper overdid it by taking from us three headline acts. This week, we return to our world tour of the obscure, including rap from Mexico and Nigeria, American ska, English country-rock, a triple shot of jazz, some Christian Rock, and pop singers from the Czech Republic, Turkey, India, and France.

Some weeks the Reaper takes us on a trip into the obscure. This week is definitely not one of those. The Reaper was busy Labor Day Weekend and took from us an All Star, a Dream Weaver, and the King of the Parrotheads, each of whom could be our headliner.

The Dog That Finally Caught The Car

Now that Republicans have succeeded in overturning Roe v. Wade and establishing abortion bans in most of the red states, they’re concerned that being “pro-life” is going to abort their chances of re-election, so they want to re-brand as “pro-baby.”

Portraits of Republican Disgovernance

I often hear folks say Republicans and Democrats are “two wings of the same bird” or “two sides of the same coin.” I demonstrate the statistics and policies to show how only one side of the coin makes us more coin and only one bird is shitting all over minorities.

The U.S. is a Gerontocracy

I take a look at the 80- and 90-year-olds in the U.S. House and Senate and whether term limits would be an appropriate amendment to the Constitution.

Pregnant Women Are Dred Scott

Alabama and Idaho want to prosecute women who obtain abortions in other states. I explain how that sounds a bit like the case of Dred Scott, the Black man who escaped his enslavement and moved to a free state, only to be returned by a Supreme Court that declared him property.
