While I reviewed this current crop of Amazon’s pilots yesterday, it might be time to take a look at the series they greenlit from last year’s pilot season… The Tick…A dedicated group will love this update of “The Tick” but I wasn’t encouraged by the pilot. The lead character/actor (Griffin Newman playing an accountant with…
Unpopular Vote: Teacher’s Unions Are Necessary

Odds on Which Amazon Prime Pilot Season Series Will Get Picked Up
Amazon Prime’s pilot seasons—in which viewers watch a handful or so of TV pilots and pick which ones they want to see made into series—started out revolutionary and often invoked the praise “Finally! Why don’t more networks do this?” Well, partly because cable series and our bingeable culture (Amazon itself releases all episodes of its…
The Unpopular Vote: In & Out Sucks
In the first video of our newest series–The Unpopular Vote–which takes on popular opinion, I go after that most sacred of cows: the In & Out burger.
State’s Rights Leads to Regional Inequality
I’ve grown tired of state’s rights arguments, even if no one else agrees. For most people, the vague catch-all of “states rights” solves most problems outright.

Democrats Will NEVER Take Back America Until They Reclaim the South
As I pointed out in last year’s very well-aged article “The Southeast is Actually the MOST Important Area for Democrats”—which you should read if you haven’t already—there is no future for the Democratic Party that doesn’t include major gains in the Southeast. What is currently being thought of as “hopelessly lost Trump country” is the only way Democrats are…

Don’t Worry Bernie Fans, Tom Perez Winning Is Actually a Good Thing for You
“Oh great, Tom Perez won DNC Chair, same old, same old.” “Tom Perez is another corporate centrist!” “What do you call a party that does the same thing over and over again and expects a different results? The Democratic Party.” “Goodbye Democrats, I’m going third party! Demexit!” We heard all this and a lot more…
Petty Issues: Trump’s Joint Disgrace–I Mean, Address Edition
That five minute standing ovation for the mother of a fallen soldier went from “compassionate” to “snake-handling church-tent revival.” And Trump’s praising of a military he largely has done nothing for most definitely tip-toes over the line from “patriotic” to “I’m using you to wrap a protective shield around my fascism.” [Sean Spicer’s new thing…
