Had #PopeFrancis not died I would never have known that a leading contender to replace him is named Pierbattista Pizzaballa. Instead of writing his name down on a paper ballot, folding it and placing it in a chalice, I feel any cardinal voting "Pizzaballa" should simply throw in a garlic knot.

BOLD #political prediction: If anyone hiring at @theprospect.bsky.social or @levernews.com or @thenation.com or @theintercept.com or @jacobinmagazin.bsky.social realizes readers can be reached through satire I'll be able to quit my part time food service job. www.counterpunch.org/2025/01/10/s...

I wrote about the #PodSaveAmerica #Democrats: "All those strategic consultants and registered lobbyists and think tank employees and foundation founders whose every utterance is an audition and whose every belief is predicated on the check clearing." www.counterpunch.org/2025/01/10/s...

I wrote about certain #Democrats: "The kind of people who find Rachel Maddow pithy and are exhilarated by Nancy Pelosi theatrically ripping bits of paper and wish The Mueller Report was more widely available in paperback." #Obama #Biden #Harris #Trump www.counterpunch.org/2025/01/10/s...

www.counterpunch.org/2025/01/10/s... Poll after poll shows Americans think our country is on the wrong track, so under what manic transference disorder would we classify our unending bipartisan mania to publicly proclaim our indispensable greatness and the glories of our hilltop-city radiance?
