The Reverend's 2011 Pictorial Review

December 30, 2011

December 13, 2010….what a difference a year makes. Last December was when Republicans claimed $800 billion in tax cut extensions didn't need to be paid for. This December, Republicans in the House went down to the wire insisting that payroll tax cuts totaling $120 billion over 12 months had to be paid for. Valentine's Day, [...]

Still Not About Oil

August 23, 2011

Because of WikiLeaks, and only because of Wikileaks, we know this about Libya…. “Those who dominate Libya’s political and economic leadership are pursuing increasingly nationalistic policies in the energy sector that could jeopardize efficient exploitation of Libya’s extensive oil and gas reserves,” the cable concluded. I have no love or admiration for Libya's soon to [...]

With Enemies Like These…Who Needs Friends?

July 12, 2011

A few short months ago, the new Tea Party controlled House of Representatives voted on Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan's budget plan, a plan called "Road to Recovery"….the same plan I immediately labeled as a "Road to Ruin." Ryan's plan cut taxes on America's wealthy, and paid for those tax cuts by turning Medicare into a [...]

The GOP Tooth Fairy Governing Policy

July 8, 2011

One major difference in the two political parties has typically been found when comparing the two parties' policy positions on the issue of the separation of church and state.

We Honor The Soldiers

May 30, 2011

Tom Ridge and Tommy Franks co-wrote a short op-ed recently which concerned itself with a yet-to-be-completed memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania where Flight 93 crashed on 9-11-2001.

Countering the recent batsh*t crazy WingerPalooza frenzy over the audacity of our American Dark Knight to speak in clear, accurate and understandable language….. There has been a lot of attention paid to the president’s statement that “the borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps.” This exact [...]

Ron Paul (R-TX) announced this week that he is running (again) for the GOP presidential candidacy in 2012. Paul is the original Tea Partier. The Tea Partier of all Tea Partiers.

Christians celebrate their highest holiday this weekend. Today, Good Friday, commemorates the crucifixion of a 30-something Jewish man at the hands of Roman authorities.

Liquid Plastic

December 15, 2010

I have always thought there was something odd about Mitt Romney, former and future presidential candidate for the Republican Party. He seems like a nice enough guy. Smiles a lot…..kind of a handsome man….tall….nice family…..very rich. And after all, Romney was the governor of Massachusetts when that state adopted and implemented a universal health care [...]

From my Thanksgiving 2008 blog post…. The nation will experience over the next 2 years the most depressed economic situation we've witnessed in at least 30 years….and I'm afraid it will actually be worse than is now expected.
