    The Don Seigelman Travesty: How Neocons Corrupted the Justice System

    January 29th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Courts and the Law, Politics

    I think anyone would agree that if a former Governor of a state, one who is running for a return to office and is ahead in the voting is falsely indicted by the local U.S. Attorney for the opposite political party, it is a very significant issue.
    If a governor can be indicted on false [...]

    Profiles in Obstruction # 1: Senator James DeMint

    January 5th, 2010 · No Comments · Health Care, Politics, jobs, wars and militarism

    It is too easy to simply make fun of or ridicule James DeMint. And of course many would say: who are any of us mere mortals to criticize men or women who have become Senators?

    Republicans Have Become the Lunatic Fringe

    September 11th, 2009 · No Comments · Culture, Media, Politics

    When Joe Wilson, who is thus far the GOP Representative from South Carolina, called the President a liar and was quickly found to be himself a liar, something happened that was quite significant. A wound was re-opened that may not soon be closed. How serious was Rep. Wilson’s mistake? For him, it was quite serious. [...]
