January 6th, 2011 · Comments Off · Health Care, Politics
The Neocons have begun their full-scale assault on the middle and lower classes of the American People.

December 2nd, 2010 · 1 Comment · Politics, taxes

The Republicans not only did not vote for [...]

Life is not a newsreel, someone once said. It is not a sound bite. It is not the mere reporting of Republican Reich Wing obstruction. It is real life–life and death, injury and loss, jobs and unemployment, homes and homelessness, wealth and poverty. There are 290 bills passed by the House of Representatives pending in [...]
