Where The Regulations Meet The Road
As I am writing this, thousands of gallons of oil are gushing out of the bottom of the ocean and threatening to destroy the wetlands and beaches of several southern states. We all know that this disaster could have been prevented with just a little bit more regulation and oversight. Why didn’t it happen?... »
The Madness Of John McCain
There was a time when I respected John McCain. Early in the 2008 primary campaign I was on record saying that John McCain was a Republican that I could actually vote for. I was not alone. Many moderates and liberals felt a respect for McCain that transcended traditional party lines. That respect was shaken... »
Extremism In Defense Of A Lie
Shortly after the passage of health care reform last week, a brick was thrown through the window of a Democratic office in New York. Attached to the brick was a note that said, “Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice”. This was a quote from Barry Goldwater’s 1964 acceptance speech as the Republican... »
Sarah Palin’s Political Relativism
For the most part, I try to avoid talking about Sister Sarah in this blog. For one, it always feels like I am either preaching to the choir or my words are falling on deaf ears. The real problem is finding a serious way to respond to her incoherent ramblings without bringing myself down... »
Fear And Loathing In Washington DC
“We were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave… and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.” – Hunter S. Thompson: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas As I watched the President’s State of the Union Address, I... »
This Isn’t Your Fathers Republican Party
Like Dr. Frankenstein, the Republican Party is about to lose control of the monster that they have created. The previously loyal, ultra-conservative base has risen up in anger and angst to force their will upon the party leadership in upstate New York District #23. What should have been a simple routine election of another... »
The Public Option Lives – For Now
For weeks now, nearly every political pundit on TV has at one time or another declared the public option dead. They just couldn’t see a way for Harry Reid and the rest of the Senate Democrats to gather enough votes to include it in the final bill. However, somewhere between the bluff and bluster... »
The Radical Republican Anti-American Agenda
Once again we have a Democrat in the White House and once again the Republicans are spending nearly 100% of their time trying to tear him down. What began during the Clinton administration with a few loudmouths on the radio and some extreme right wing militias have now been elevated to mainstream Republican Party... »
Voodoo Economics: The Final Report Card On Bush’s Epic Failure
The annual Census Bureau report on income, poverty and access to health care came out late last week and it brought only more bad news for the Bush legacy project. In every single measurable statistic, the numbers were worse after eight years of George W. Bush then at the end of the Clinton Presidency.... »
Mr. TeaBag Goes To Washington
Glenn Beck and the Tea Party movement had their big shindig in Washington D.C. yesterday. Reports vary, but the crowd size is estimated to have been a respectable 30-70,000. There were some claims by the organizers that it was as high as 1.5 million. These claims were of course repeated over and over by... »
