The Iraq War. Flesh and Blood.

May 20th, 2010 · Comments Off · International affairs, Politics, wars and militarism

The war in Iraq was a mistake. Whatever point of view one takes, there is no real benefit to us any longer to have troops in Iraq. They should come home as soon as possible. But that is not the end of it. We need to tell the rest of the world we’re sorry. We’re [...]

Dick Cheney and Failure On the Right

September 7th, 2009 · Comments Off · Politics

Someone made an interesting and valid point on television recently…a significant event in itself. In one brief segment between pharmaceutical commercials for sexual member enhancement on Sunday morning, someone said–it doesn’t matter who because they are all dipping into the same well of nonsense–that we now have a partisan Democracy.
