Sympathy For Devils

December 15, 2011

In 1971, President Richard Nixon ordered his White House thugs to go after Daniel Ellsberg for making public the Pentagon Papers. The Papers were quite an embarrassment to Nixon's White House. Nixon responded by beginning a campaign "against further leaks and against Ellsberg personally." Part of that campaign we know now as the Watergate burglary. [...]

What "We've Invented": Serious GOP Candidates

December 12, 2011

Here's the transcript from ABC's Saturday night GOP primary debate. The Village media….always working to inform it's readers about what they really need to know….are spinning Romney's $10,000 bet offer to Rick Perry over something Mitt said or did not say in his book, as something of great profundity that came out of Saturday night's [...]

"It Doesn't Work"

December 6, 2011

Obama gave a speech today. I have a few major disagreements with Obama's leadership….but I couldn't find anything I disagreed with in today's speech. I've been trying to curb the profanity…and still not stifle myself. But in this case, President Obama was spot-the-f**k hell on. Pre-emptive disclaimer: I fully recognize the fact that President Obama [...]

More Bloodletting Will Save The Patient This Time

November 30, 2011

So far, here in the U.S., the Obama administration has been able to successfully stall the implementation of deep government spending cuts in the midst of America's worst financial downturn in 70 years. Despite the never-ending whining coming from conservatives who believe in the doctrine of "expansionary austerity", (an oxymoron if ever there were one), [...]

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 [...]

200 To 1

November 21, 2011

200 to 1. That was the final offer to Democrats from Republican members of the Super Committee. $200 in spending cuts for every $1 in new revenues. Take it or leave it. As of this morning….everyone is leaving it. The task of the 12 member Super Committee was to make the "tough" decisions that the [...]

Ohio's Issue 3: Wingnut Flypaper

November 6, 2011

Most Ohioans understand by now the stakes inherent in Ohio Issue 2. A no vote on Ohio's Issue 2 on Tuesday is a vote to repeal SB5, an extremist, anti-labor, GOP-forced bill to end collective bargaining rights of Ohio public employees. Polls are predicting a humiliating loss for LittleJohn Kasich's SB5. Republicans in Ohio…by 60%-40%….are [...]

Who Is Dividing Americans?

November 3, 2011

While President Obama stumps for passage of a jobs bill, House Republicans, in unison…flip him, and America's unemployed, the bird. On Tuesday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a non-binding resolution reaffirming “In God We Trust” as the national motto. That is what dithering actually looks like. Cynical dithering…..but dithering just the same. Way back [...]

Is The Tea Party Over?

October 28, 2011

It's been fun, I have to admit that. However, all good times eventually wind down, and that's what appears to be happening with the political influence and stagecraft of the TEA Party. The TEA Party burst on the scene as an anti-Democratic protest movement, primarily protesting the election of America's first black president, who also [...]

Old, Sick People Must Pay

October 25, 2011

It was transparently clear during the last national hostage-taking crisis that Republicans would never allow any further legislation to pass which would help relieve the misery of the have-nots who are still reeling from the Big Bankster Caper. A political party that would push the richest and most powerful nation in all of human history [...]
