"Toddlers-in-Chief" REMIX

Mar 08 2025 2 mins

Another fab remix from Chet Gardiner, of a song that's at least as relevant as it was a few days ago, when I wrote it, after that meeting in the Oval Office.

New song: "Toddlers-in-Chief"

Mar 04 2025 2 mins

I'm constantly unable to decide whether they're brilliantly theatrical, Machiavellian coup-plotters or just bumbling billionaires whose emotional development stalled out a long time ago.

Mar 02 2025 2 mins

Feb 27 2025 16 mins

I don't know what came over me, but this time when I got the summons for jury duty, I didn't make up a reason why I couldn't do it. Next time I get such a summons, I'll make sure I'm out of town, or have a sick child to care for.

"It's A Coup" REMIX

Feb 23 2025 2 mins

OK, now they're firing all the military lawyers who are supposed to be responsible for determining whether a command is legal or not. Folks, this is definitely a coup, in case there was any question.

New song: "What's Going on Here, Montreal?" #FreeYvesEngler

"The Richest Man in the World Says So" REMIX

A really lively remix of this song I wrote earlier this month (that Elon Musk earned every penny of), with an especially counterpunctual bass line, from Chet Gardiner's studio in Hawai'i.
