“What is there to be done? The first and most important thing is to recognize how we came to this pass. Both sides did not do this. Both sides are not to blame. There is no compromise to be had here that will leave the current structure of the government intact. There can be no […]
The U.S. Government is still closed. Already, the public is starting to see its disastrous effects with more to come in the near future if a resolution isn’t reached soon. Yet, some members of the gang (That’s right. I call them a ‘gang’) seem jovial about the whole fiasco. The Talking Points Memo reports: Rep. […]
Fixers — fictional ones at least — are hard at work helping citizens navigate the new health care law at the center of the current government shutdown. In the parody video, Scandalous, singer/actress Jennifer Hudson parodies the hugely popular ABC prime time drama, Scandal, as she runs about town highlighting the benefits of the Affordable Care Act. The video is […]
“President Obama can’t wait to get Americans addicted to the crack cocaine of dependency on more government health care.” -Michele Bachmann And now we will see just how long the privileged illiterates in Congress can hold their breath to stop the Affordable Care Act, which having been passed by Capital Hill, signed by the President […]
Remember when we all thought the world was going to end because of Y2K? Listening to our Republican friends and the uninformed lemmings who rely on right-wing intelligence, Obamacare, like Y2K, will also be the end of the world. There’s only one problem: the world is still turning and if you ask me, in some […]
This was the week the new fall season of television got underway. Did you catch The Ted Cruz Show this week? Limited production values. Lousy acting. Boring script. If there ever was a program that deserved cancellation before the debut, Senator Cruz’s phony filibuster to defund Obamacare was definitely it. Terrible Ted hopes he call […]
Okay, so since nobody wants to talk about mental health in the wake of this week’s Navy Yard blood bath mass shooting at the hands of an obviously mentally disturbed Aaron Alexis, I figured we can move on to something else. Yes, I’ll play your game and get back to talking about gun control even […]
Okay, repeat after me: “Don’t, don’t don’t, don’t believe the hype!” Yes, there’s been a lot of talk about rising premiums and how Obamacare has made things so expensive that employers are now forced to cut the hours of low-wage workers. Well, newsflash: it isn’t even 2014, and the exchanges haven’t even been set up […]
A couple of days ago I wrote about the Las Vegas small business owner who said he had to fire 22 employees because President Barack Obama was re-elected. As evidenced by the many threats levied by various business owners prior to the election, many business owners are using Obama’s re-election as an excuse to sever […]
So, over $1 billion dollars was spent this election cycle to put President Barack Obama — a black man — out of a job. Still think there’s no need for Affirmative Action? Yep, think about that one for a while, folks. Speaking of which, CBS Las Vegas is reporting what I think to be a […]
The last thing I wanted to do today was to revisit Richard Mourdock’s idiotic comment about rape, abortion, and God. Yeah, I’ve said enough here and here. And quite frankly, I’m sick and tired of debating about God, his will, or his infallibility. However, I did catch the Melissa Harris Perry Show on MSNBC yesterday […]

The name Miriam Carey is one we should never forget. The woman at the center of what is looking more and more like yet another potential case of excessive police force is just as dead as Jonathan Ferrell, another name we should never forget. Mr. Ferrell shot dead and killed after an automobile accident by police […]
Editor’s Note: The following was written by a longtime reader. In light of the Capitol Hill shooting death of Miriam Carey, this week, she decided to weigh in with her personal story as someone struggling with depression as are many of us in society. As odd as it may sound, I can fully imagine Miriam […]
I’m bothered by the centerpiece of news reports on yesterday’s shooting on Capitol Hill being police officers working without pay, due to the government shutdown. I’d like to think that the real story would be the victim, and postpartum depression. That said, maybe if she was armed with an assault rifle there’d be more of […]
