Commenters on my previous post are accusing me of politicizing the horrible carnage in Aurora, CO. I wasn’t doing so in that post. But it’s not wrong to have a political discussion in the aftermath of this senseless attack. What happened in Aurora is a symptom of a societal problem which can only be solved … Continue Reading →
I admit my first thought when I heard the news this morning was, this maniac has to be a Rush Limbaugh fan. In my defense, Rushbo had just come off a three day run of bellowing that the film was some kind of secret Manchurian plot to help President Obama take over the world. Or … Continue Reading →
John Boehner’s House is scheduled to hold yet another symbolic vote to repeal health care reform tomorrow. This will be their 31st vote on “repealing Obamacare.” They’ve long ago stopped pretending they want to replace it with a plan of their own. They simply don’t have one. So why do they keep holding these votes? … Continue Reading →
Mitt Romney finished his vacation at his New Hampshire mansion and spent yesterday in the Hamptons, summer playground of the super wealthy. A horde of our nation’s wealthholders attended at least one of the three fundraisers being held at the gated estates of Long Island, ranging from the $25,000 a head luncheon at the owner … Continue Reading →
A lifeguard in Hallendale Beach, FL was recently fired for running to save a drowning man because it was “out of his designated zone.” But it gets even more appalling.

There’s really no nice way to say it. Republicans and conservatives are lying to you about Obamacare. They failed in their attempt to get the SCOTUS to overturn the law. The judicial branch of our government under the power granted to them by our Founding Fathers, declared the law to be constitutional. In response to … Continue Reading →
Republicans have mainstreamed so many half-truths and outright lies about Obamacare, unless you spend 12 hours a day scouring the internets, (as I do), it’s difficult to separate the facts from the fiction. But one thing is clear to everyone, Obamacare will bring changes to our health insurance system. In an attempt to help Americans … Continue Reading →
Unless you watch no TV, by now you’ve seen Mitt Romney’s “Day One” commercial. Many times. In it he makes a lot of impossible promises about what he’ll do on day one if he gets to be president. But what about “Day Seven” or the other 1,460 days? Well, at a campaign stop in Virginia … Continue Reading →
As the oil industry pushes to expand fracking all across our country, they tell you it will lead to energy independence and create jobs and so forth. What they don’t mention is the permanent damage it leaves behind. Think about this: There are many alternatives to fuel. There are no alternatives for clean water and … Continue Reading →
