March on Washington is History – Now What?

Aug 27, 2013 No Comments by

Been working all day trying to come up with a word to describe how I feel, now that The People’s March honoring Dr. King and his “I have a dream” speech is done. I’ve come up with several actually. However the one that sticks out is “empty.” It’s done, we marched, we shouted, we sang, […]

Aug 25, 2013 2 Comments by

Okay, so it’s official: Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is now a white man. Yes, forget about the fact that his real name is Piyush Jindal; and, that he is born to parents who are immigrants from India. Nope, none of that matters anymore; and no, he is no longer a minority in these United States […]

Jun 11, 2013 No Comments

Not that I ever really lost it, but Edward Snowden has restored my faith in America. Whether you regard him as a hero or as a “traitor,” as John Boehner called him for his revealing government secrets (secrets which are in fact perfectly legal). The fact remains: There is nowhere else on earth that a […]

John McCain Goes to Syria to “Pal Around” with Terrorists?

Projected Obamacare Exchange Premiums Lower Than Expected

May 24, 2013 No Comments

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 […]

IRS Scandal: Tea Party Groups Had Ties to GOP Politics

May 17, 2013 3 Comments

If a well-known Klan leader wanted to adopt a black baby, I wouldn’t have a problem with the government giving him extra scrutiny. Yep, and that’s how I view this IRS scandal.
