America is exceptional all right, its exceptionally jaded, exceptionally cynical, exceptionally resentful, and exceptionally callous. We are so judgmental of others, so righteous of our own strengths, so high on our own self-worth, we believe we need to be exceptionally tough when it comes to anyone who does not measure up. And nowhere is this more true than America’s “tough on crime” stance. I’m not saying we shouldn’t have laws. I’m not saying criminals shouldn’t go to jail. What I’m saying is we need to take it down a notch or two or a thousand. And we need to stop taking discretion away from judges and juries with “mandatory minimums” and other similar legislative “solutions” to crime.

The fundamentalist constituency, eating the Republican Party alive, should be known collectively as “regressives,” according to a Facebook post by Robert Reich. There is nothing conservative about them. They do not wish to preserve the status quo, they wish to destroy it, and with it, all the progress over the past century. Reich calls them “regressives” while I have referred to them as “extreme right-wing radicals.”

Part-time congressman, full-time racist, Ohio representative Steve King, is at it again. King is the poster child of white conservative resentment. He is typical of a type of conservative who knows nothing, but is going to teach everybody else life lessons on everything.

This will be sacrilege to some, but from the trio of groups known collectively as the “Holy Trinity of British Rock,” The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Who — at least according to Rolling Stone magazine — as far as I’m concerned, I’ll take The Who if I had to choose just one. I appreciate The Beatles and Stones, but the public has put them on a much higher pedestal than I have. And The Who, while revered, always seem to trail behind The Beatles and Stones when people talk about the most influential rock bands. It seems The Who are not idolized to the same degree as the The Beatles or Stones. And don’t get me wrong, because The Who are indeed idolized. Maybe I’m wrong in this assessment, that’s just how I see it. But in my opinion, The Who were the most innovative of the trio of groups.
