They say we are in the middle of an economic crisis and that the economy is going to die. Yet Congress is off on holiday. So if this is such a crisis then why are they taking a vacation? I’d like to take a vacation too but I’m busy [...]

America is in a scary position. The economy is so bad that that people are too scared to panic. And we are getting close to the point where people are too scared NOT to panic. But whose fault is it really? Clearly it’s Nancy Pelosi’s fault. Why Pelosi? Because [...]

I have to disagree with the 33 churches who decided to break the law and endorse a candidate. Churches who accept tax deductible money are not allowed to endorse candidates. But churches do it anyway which makes me question if churches, including the Church of Reality which I founded, [...]

I watched President Bush speak to the nation tonight. The good news is that he came across for the first time as both presidential and articulate. The bad news is a sober, articulate, presidential George Bush is even scarier than his normal childish demeanor. He also failed to [...]

The pejorative term “Welfare Queen” is used to describe a lazy irresponsible social pariah who collect government welfare checks through an orgy of fraud, deception, or manipulation, draining society of valuable resources while engaging in immoral behavior. But before you yell “Racist!” I’m not talking about black women. [...]

Now that the conservatives are coming to the taxpayers for a 700 billion dollar bailout I’m wondering what the conservatives are willing to give up in exchange for this massive welfare check? Maybe they should compensate us by giving up the Iraq war and the election? Maybe they [...]

Is Sarah Palin ready to be president? One job of being president or vice president is the ability to do a press conference and answer reporter’s questions. It’s been almost a month since this unknown governor of Alaska has been on the Republican ticket and she has yet to [...]

If we pass out $700,000,000,000 of our hard earned taxpayer money to the banks who ripped us off, how do we know they aren’t going to rip off our bailout money too? I hope they aren’t going to pass out money now and regulate later.

America is now a place where the poor pay welfare to the rich. What a country! The working class bailing out the investor class and the investor class pays a far lower tax rate (capital gains) than working class people who pay payroll taxes. So when the rich were [...]

This week the government pumped a trillion dollars of borrowed money against our taxes into the stock markets to prop up the profits of the rich. This is to restore confidence in the market. But is our problem really a matter of the confidence of investors in the market [...]

Remember in the 2000 election when John McCain was accused of fathering a black baby? Well you know it’s going to be a dirty election because McCain has hired the guy who was behind that smear against him. All I can say is - WOW! I suppose now we’ll [...]

On this day when the stock market drops 500 points and every week another major institutions fails aren’t we glad that Congress never passed laws to privatize our Social Security funds? Just imagine what it would be like if Bush and McCain had got their way? Privatization and [...]

The news media fiddles while Rome burns. As two more major financial institutions collapse the news media is obsessed with whether or not Sarah Palin is the reincarnation of Davy Crockett. While the media is obsessed with Lipstick we don’t know if we’re going to get into a war [...]

OH OH OH - The Republicans are sooooo offended by Obama’s “Lipstick on a Pig” comment. He’s so mean - he’s so sexist! But as Obama has said many times, McCain just doesn’t get it. Obama was calling John McCain’s message of fake change a pig. Obama isn’t calling [...]

Here we are at the 7th anniversary of 9-11 and Osama bin Laden is still free. The Republicans have focused on going to war with the wrong country and have shown very little interest in going after the people who actually attacked us. If we keep electing those who [...]

I’m getting tired of the unknown Alaska governor whining about the news media. We don’t know who she is and she’s running for the nation’s second highest office. And since she is running on family related issues, asking family related questions are fair game.
For example, if Obama had 5 [...]

In his convention speech John McCain admitted that Republicans lost the trust of the people when “Republicans gave in to the temptations of corruption.” Is McCain now running against the Republican establishment? If so, does that mean that we should vote against the Republicans running for Congress? Or [...]

John McCain is running against the Republican establishment? The Republican establishment that he now admits failed the American people. John McMcain is going to take America back from people like John McCain? And that’s change we can believe in? I wonder if the Republicans running for reelection in [...]

After watching both the Democratic and Republican conventions I see a different message coming from each camp. The Democrats speak the language of peace. The Republicans speak the language of war. The Democrats talk about unity, that we are one country and one people. The Republicans are divisive. They talk of people [...]

I was really disappointed this year when the ABC TV series “Desperate Housewives” went off the air. But now with John McCain’s pick of Sarah Palin it’s like the series is back. Governor Sarah Palin’s story has all the intrigue and anticipation of the TV series. I just can’t wait to find [...]
