My book, Walking the Bypass: Notes on Place From the Side of the Road, has been reviewed in the October issue of Harper's.

I was told this was going to happen, but I'm still surprised to see it. Well, shocked. And, of course, grateful that my book has received this thoughtful response.

If the President doesn’t want to be called a Russian asset, perhaps he should stop acting like a Russian asset.

Dean Blundell reveals Trump allegedly asked Carney for a kickback in exchange for removing tariffs. Switzerland reportedly made the same allegation before capitulating this week. This is apparently how he deals with all countries. Trump is operating like a mob boss, and is running the U.S.

Piggy has signed off on the release of the Epstein files.

There is a loophole in the law that lets the DOJ withhold anything they deem is part of an active investigation.

It’s precisely what Piggy is counting on.

What's the point of having a 25th Amendment if you can't use it?
I can usually translate him, but either I’m losing my mind, or he is.

If you're in southwestern Ontario, or if you've just always been curious about that other Paris, come and see three great writers (or two great writers and me) in conversation with James Cairns, the author of the critically acclaimed In Crisis, On Crisis. There will be snacks--books, too!

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

When the only possible deal is a shitty one, maybe it’s better to maintain dignity and walk away. I understand why Carney apologized for the Reagan ad, according to today’s Guardian, but we can’t appease the fascists south of the lines, and maybe we need to stop trying.
