Insane Train Rolls On

November 29, 2011

There were many on the conservative side who berated President Obama when he refused to make public his long form birth certificate from Hawaii. Obama, from the beginning, had made his short form Hawaiian birth certificate public for all to see. But Obama is black and has a funny name for a U.S. politician…and he [...]

All About The VP Pick

September 23, 2011

I watched about 20 minutes of the Freakathon known as the Google-Fox GOP presidential candidates "debate" last night. All I could stand to watch was 20 minutes. The Reverend's take after 3 GOP debates….. It appears as if the GOP now has a two person race. Mitt Romney versus Rick Perry. The RealClearPolitics.com site has [...]

The Secessionists

July 26, 2011

Howard Fineman on Hardball last evening…. What's going on here, as I see it, is kind of a slow motion secession. This is an ending of the social compact. This is 3 generations worth of agreement about Social Security, about Medicare, about the role of the federal government. The Tea Party people are saying: we [...]

Placing Blame

July 14, 2011

According to TPM reports last night, President Obama is getting sick and tired of the Republican intransigence over raising the debt ceiling. Obama walked out of tense talks Wednesday evening particularly perturbed with Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA). "I have reached the point where I say enough," Obama told the leaders, according to the account. [...]

The Plan All Along

July 11, 2011

For over 2 years I have been asking myself why it is that Barack Obama hasn't used his excellent oratory skills to inform and educate Americans about the massive failure of conservative economics and how that failure brought the nation to the threshold of a new Great Depression. 30 years of supply side economics imposed [...]

Obama Has No Appetite For Boldness

May 31, 2011

It has been laughable over the last couple of years to watch the wingnut landscape morph into total lunacy over the alleged socialistic leadership of our new Dark Knight President. Talk about your basic overkill. A timid government stimulus plan in 2009…..amounting to approximately $800 billion in market demand being added to the recessed market…..was [...]

Wasted Words of Wisdom

April 14, 2011

My liberal comrades will not like what I have to say today. Hell, I don't like it either…..but I must tell the truth as I see it…so here goes. President Obama gave his deficit speech (transcript) in the middle of the afternoon yesterday so that people like you and I, who are politically engaged, could [...]

"Come On, Come On, We're Together"

April 13, 2011

What if Osama Bin Laden's jihadist group had their own flag? And what if many Americans proudly raised that jihadist flag in celebratory fashion each year around September? What's more…..what if tens of thousands of southern-state Americans pasted a decal of that jihadist flag onto their pick-em-up truck bumpers or framed their license plates with [...]

Shut 'Er Down

April 7, 2011

President Obama met late last night with Harry Reid and John Boehner in yet another attempt to stave off a federal government shutdown. No agreement was forthcoming. Just as a drunk-on-power group of Republicans shut down the government in 1995, so too the looming shutdown of 2011. What I hear from every Republican who can [...]

T.ogether E.nding A.merica Party

March 2, 2011

As I searched, and searched, this past Saturday for teevee coverage of the multi-state, MoveOn organized, protests over Tea Party governors scrapping collective bargaining rights….I caught a portion of CNN's late afternoon programming. CNN devoted approximately 60 seconds to Wisconsin…..no coverage at all of any other state protests (New York had 10,000 protesting)….and then immediately [...]
