Tales of a Modern-Day Cassandra with a Philosophy Fetish
Politics and survival in the Post-Trump era, for liberal-minded humans from all walks of life.
In Election 2018: The End of Everything (Part 1), I introduced the second “Cassie’s List” compilation, which includes all the historic data that matters to ME from the last six election cycles for US Senate and House seats. Unlike the work I did for the Presidential election in 2016, this delves deeper into state politics Read More …
Early this year, in the mad grab for Hamilton tickets, I decided to go ahead and get a full subscription to the Hippodrome in Baltimore. I invited a friend to join me, and we got a pair of tickets for the coming season.

Go check Andrew Dobson’s feed on FB or Twitter and come back.
Last week I got into a pissing contest with a couple of liberal fanatics who think the blue wave is real. I called bullshit based on what I’ve seen so far. They asked me to give a best guess scenario for the Senate, based on my research. The results are below, but before we get Read More …
Remember when I wrote this? “If you want the full picture, you can check out Endarkenment, the rest of the Aftermath or Dots series’ on my blog. I’ve been writing about this stuff for years.” It comes from Aftermath (Part 6): The Enemy of the Good…
