Whiskey Tango Foxtrot the Tea Party?

by Smitty Conspicuously absent in Daniel McCarthy’s analysis is any Tea Party mention: Trump also realized, as Perot should have recognized a quarter-century earlier, that third-party politics was a waste of time, when the same resources could be used to take over the GOP from within.

Friday Fiction: 100 Word Challenge

by Smitty She knows. I’ve been gone six years. A random Friday morning seemed good to sneak back into the house at dawn to pick up some documents. My daughter’s are judge, jury and executioner. “Hi. *Dad*.” A three letter wrecking ball. All of my rationalizations, anger, and self-righteousness are suddenly gone. “Oh my God, […]

by Smitty Three hour drive. The hike from the parking area, where he left the phone with the jeep (barely one bar, anyway) was five miles, mostly uphill. The waves of stress rolled off during the trek. He’d return on the morrow for the supplies. For now, the task was to get to the cabin, […]
