In a bold statement, Senator Mitch McConnell must have encountered a “senior moment” because he momentarily lost his talking points. He actually had the nerve to tell the truth before the video tape could be doctored, snipped or hidden. He told the American People the objective of the Republican Congress. He said that the Republicans [...]

Why Republicans Want Repeal of Health Care Reform
November 4th, 2010 · Comments Off · Health Care, Media, Politics
This recent election was not about Americans’ understanding of recent legislation. It was about their misunderstanding of recent legislation. That may be deliberate. We know that Glenn Beck has a million or so listeners and viewers. Rush Limbaugh supposedly has more than ten million listeners a day. That is largely because for many years…perhaps still…his [...]

Americans Aren’t Stupid–Just Crazy!
November 1st, 2010 · Comments Off · Politics
This is a message for Americans who would vote for the Corporatists. No..actually, it is more like a rant against these dangerously ignorant voters. Are Americans stupid who would vote for a Senator like Sharron Angle, who would–among other things–try to privatize the Veterans’ Administration? Are Americans stupid who would vote for a Senator like [...]

October 30th, 2010 · Comments Off · Politics
We are about to elect a Neocon-Republican House of Representatives—if all the numbers are correct—that will do its best to further set back the Middle Class and return us to the policies of “Everything for the Rich” of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. Before you vote, please remember what happened between 2001-2008. We had [...]

The Common Wisdom
October 27th, 2010 · Comments Off · Politics
Here’s something to take into the voting booth. Even though life is complicated and the complexity is compounded by the acceleration of information being fed to us every day…we already know what to do. No one needs to tell us how to live or how to vote or what decisions to make. If you are [...]
Elections Have Consequences.
October 25th, 2010 · Comments Off · Politics
The First Tuesday in November of 2010… …may be the last day of the American Dream. In 2001, George W. Bush was elected to office. We all knew by the time he took office that most people felt that he was not too bright but many felt that he was a “good old boy.” That [...]

Tea Party Express to Disaster
October 20th, 2010 · Comments Off · Politics
A recent survey showed that only 5% of the Tea Party signs were racist, or called the President a Muslim or said that he was not born in America and therefore had not been eligible to be President. And who did the survey? The very impartial person who did this was a Cato Institute intern. [...]

Momentous Election in the Age of the “Hick”
October 12th, 2010 · Comments Off · Politics
It is 2010 and the lights are going out all over America. Slowly winding down to darkness. If darkness covers the land of opportunity, when will we find our way forward again? There is no question now about our educational system. It has failed us, and the warnings of Newton Minow, some fifty years ago [...]
