"Courage
can be purchased at yon tavern!" -- The honorable Dutton
Peabody, Esq.
Daniel Clark -- founder,
owner, editor, and he also sweeps out the place
Welcome to The Shinbone, an online news publication which I hope you will soon come to trust and enjoy.
*The latest column* by the editor of The Shinbone is Git Along
Without DOGE, which observes that
if Donald Trump were serious about fiscal discipline, he would not need to be
advised of the obvious.
The College Football Czar's week 16 picks
are in!!! Remember
to check back throughout the season, as The College
Football Czar
publishes his weekly picks. To learn more about the Czar and his mission,
please consult his Ground Rules. If you love college
football, but not the liberal twaddle that constantly gets in its way, then
you'll surely appreciate the Czar's insights, and want to share them with your
friends.
From the archives: Those who have pinned their hopes on Donald Trump to bring about “peace through strength” in Ukraine have got a long wait ahead of them, as explained in Or Else What?: No, Trump did not deter the Russians (3/4/23). If there’s any justification for including RFK Jr. in the new administration, he needs to call out the deliberate killing of women with the abortion drugs mifepristone and misoprostol, as detailed in Butchery By Mail: Sacrificing women as a tactic (5/7/23).
For an overview of the mission of this website, please read The Shinbone Manifesto.
The Shinbone presents a comic strip called Politimals -- in which politicians let their animal instincts get the best of them. In Politimals, the two major parties fight it out like cats and dogs, which they are (as the Democats and Repuppicans, respectively). They are joined by anarchists (bats), self-described independents (sheep), political consultants and pollsters (weasels and squirrels), and whatever other critters happen along.
* The Shinbone does its part to save the planet, by issuing this warning to Stop Accelerated Density, Now!
To look up previous Shinbone columns, go to the Archives at the bottom of this page, or search by topic by going to the Issue Index.
