Why Continue Pretending?

January 10, 2011

What's the goal? What good can come from it? Why is it always so predictable? What am I talking about? The pretending. Americans who pretend as if they don't see what is glaringly obvious.

December 8, 2010

Obama scolding the very people who put him in office….. So this notion that somehow we are willing to compromise too much reminds me of the debate that we had during health care.

"Bulldog" Political Theater

August 18, 2010

Or, perhaps, Fractured Political Fairy Tales. I couldn't decide on the title. U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald prosecuted the Lewis Scooter Libby case.

The Newest Lie

July 12, 2010

That's J. Christian Adams in the above picture attending a Federalist Society meeting. Why has Fox News and the right wing Wurlitzer been so hyper-wingnutty about Mr. Adams recently?

Don't Tread On Me

June 30, 2010

Readers of this blog know that I have very little respect or admiration for America's corporate media. At the same time, I also realize that nothing is always black or always white. Fox News, for example, at times, does report some truth in with their non-stop advocacy for the Republican Party. Chris Matthews, of MSNBC's [...]
