There’s a difference between being a follower and a leader and the Democrats haven’t figured that out. Many Dems are trying to decide of health care reform based on polling or the number of people calling their office. What Democrats should be doing is what is right for [...]
Letter to the Editor
Democrats are wondering what to do about health care reform. Do they vote for it or let it die? The Republicans and the big insurance companies want very much for health care reform to fail. So if the Democrats don’t know what to do, maybe they should do the [...]

People are wondering, “What will it take to get the Democrats to pass health care reform?” Well – Rush Limbaugh said that he would leave the country if health care reform passed. So Democrats – there’s your reason! Or are you holding out for Glenn Beck to make the same promise?

There’s and old political joke that goes like this. “What is the opposite of progress? Congress!” But that joke has never been more true than it has lately. This is especially true of the Senate. I’m not sure which is worse, that a single senator held up government to [...]
On January 27th the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a non decision decision in the case of the Church of Reality vs. the DEA over the church’s request for exemption for religious use of marijuana. In it’s decision the court denies the Church of Reality due process of law.
“This decision isn’t a decision for [...]

Conservatives are mocking Al Gore and global warming pointing to the snow storm burying the east cost in feet of snow. Republican leader Mitch McConnell quipped “Where’s Al Gore Now?” and calling global warming “snake oil science”.
What Conservatives don’t seem to understand is that snow isn’t a product [...]

Sarah Palin is asking us, “How is that hopey, changey thing workin’ out for ya?” Probably about as well as abstinence is working out for your family.

There’s a difference between getting elected and assuming leadership and I’m still waiting for President Obama to assume leadership. Obama’s management style seems to be that he’s just another member of a team rather than the team captain. America is in a crisis and both the Democrats and [...]
On this day when Iran has launched a rocket into space we have to ask ourselves if it is wise for the Obama Administration to cut funding to NASA and cripple our ability to put people and equipment into space. I’m old enough to remember how I felt when we first went [...]
On January 28th 2010 the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals basically screwed the Church of Reality issuing a memorandum decision. As the founder of the Church of Reality I’m fairly pissed off about it. What the courts often do is to clear out the case load by letting law clerks decide cases using memoradum decisions [...]

As someone who has been in software for over 30 years I have to ask Toyota this question, “Have you ruled out the computer?” As I understand it the cars in question are all “drive by wire” cars. Unlike the cars I drove as a teen where the gas [...]

If President Obama and the Democrats really wanted to do something about the deficit they should have eliminated the Bush tax cuts for the rich in 2009 when they took power rather that to let them run for an additional two years. It seems when it comes to tax [...]
First of all the call it “Free Credit Report” but it is anything but free. I didn’t even want it for free. I just wanted to buy a single copy of my credit report. But it decided that I was signing up with Experian for their “Triple Advantage” which is really triple disadvantage. The allowed [...]

Different people will see tonights election differently but one thing I think we can all agree on. Ted Kennedy is spinning in his grave. And the voters of Massachusetts just screwed the rest of us out of health care reform. You would think that America has already inflicted enough [...]

Obama’s success might be best described in terms of what didn’t happen rather than what did. Although what Obama accomplished is impressive, what didn’t happen is the total collapse of the US economy. America was on track to fail the way the formers Soviet Union failed and the entire [...]

According to the Associated Press the tobacco industry is pleading with the Justice Department not to go to the Supreme Court fearing a decision that would devastate them. I say that it’s time to wipe the tobacco industry out. These people have killed millions of people by lying for [...]

What a difference a real president makes. Obama is getting aid into Haiti faster than Bush got aid into New Orleans.

In the new book released today “Game Change”, when Sarah Palin was chosen to run for vice president she responded that the choice was “God’s Plan”. So if it was God’s plan for her to run then what did God have in mind when she lost? Did God intend [...]

The Republicans are making a big deal about what Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said about race. Republicans claim that there is a double standard claiming that some people are a lot more forgiving when a Democrat makes a racist sounding comment than Republicans get. I don’t have [...]

Every time someone tries to blow up an airplane we start asking the question, “How do we spot terrorists? Who is safe to let through?” One thing that is common to all these terrorists is a strong belief in God. No Atheists are out there blowing up innocent people. [...]

People like to describe what the Republicans are doing as politics but that’s not the word I would use. I call it treason. All they are proving is that it’s easier to destroy America than it is to fix it. All one has to do is look around at [...]

In spite of what you hear in the news it does not take 60 votes in the Senate to pass a bill. It is not in the Constitution nor are there any laws that require 60 votes. The 60 vote barrier is an obscure Senate rule called the filibuster [...]

When did Afghanistan become Obama’s war? The way I remember it Bush started the war in 2002 back when no one knew who Obama was. Now it’s Obama’s war? Give me a break! This war would have been over if Bush hadn’t pulled the troops out and sent them [...]

Even though health care reform will actually save money all I hear out of the news media is that we don’t have enough money for health care. Not true! What we have enough money for is the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. What we have enough money for tax cuts [...]

Now that Bishop Thomas Tobin has banned Patrick Kennedy from receiving communion because he’s supports a woman’s right to control her own reproduction, I have a question for him. Are you willing to deny communion to priests who have sex with children? I’m curious to see how your [...]

The way I see it the health care reform bill is the people attempting to get control of our health care from the insurance companies who control health care now. The insurance companies are spending millions trying to keep the people from gaining self control. It’s now down to [...]

It’s kind of weird seeing the news media declaring the Republicans the winner in Tuesday’s election and that it’s some sort of referendum on Obama? Perhaps the news media is living in some alternate universe where everything is backwards? The Republicans won the governor’s races in two state [...]

A warning to my Republican friends. There are a lot more people in America who want to see Obama succeed than want to see him fail. You might want to take that into account if you think you can win elections on the pro-failure platform.

It’s good to see the Obama administration deciding to not go after medical marijuana the way the Bush administration did. it gives me “high hopes” that some day the ridiculous prohibition on marijuana will go away. This is a drug that if fully legal would be a benefit to [...]
