Grand Old Tea Party

Reactionaries are extremely conservative, especially opposed to social change, wanting to keep or return to past cultural values. Definitions always seem cut and dried, not allowing for nuance, but this definition perhaps lets us understand what is driven by the Grand Old Tea Party (GOTP, formerly less aptly called…

Now It’s Wile E. Coyote (Paul Ryan) & Roadrunner (Patty Murray)

Americans, don’t misguide your anger about the shutdown and the near default, which permanently lost us some $24 billion in economic output, according to Standard and Poor (S&P). Apply reason to the issue so that you can correct the menacing forces that cause all our problems – there can…

Cool it, Barack!

Syrian President Bashar Assad allegedly used chemical weapons against his own people, leaving a sickening sight of carnage, some 1400 innocent men, women and children dead, others twitching in neurological agony. We do not know if President Obama will feel compelled – politically, morally, or in an effort to…

GOP Scorched Earth Policy to Kill Health Care

If American voters would make Republicans pay for their odious misdeeds, most of our governing problems would be over. There is a lot to be despised about Republican rhetoric and Republican actions, but probably the most reprehensible at this time is their plan to destroy government along with the…

No real genius at the top, just ruthless privilege

You often hear egregious chatter by apologists for the wealthy, conspicuously mouthed by puppeteers of the rich, who almost exclusively come from the Republican Party. They say that the opulent are the ultimate god-given product of a meritocracy. The corporate executives (like Jamie Dimon, CEO of Chase, for example)…

George W. Bush: Bobbled, Busted and Convicted of War Crimes

Did you know that George W. Bush, even as he was preparing to hawk the opening of his Presidential Library in Dallas, Texas, was convicted of war crimes?

Be prepared to donate your tax revenues again — to banks!

We will have another financial meltdown and perhaps another taxpayer bailout of too-big-to-fail banks, banks even bigger than they were in 2008. Why another meltdown? The greedfest was hardly interrupted. Bonuses and casino capitalism continue. On the morning of July 21st, 2010, it was already evident. On that morning,…

Rays of Hope and Crimes in High Places

Sunday’s Sixty Minutes offered for us a needed, even hopeful story of good and selfless Americans striving to help their struggling fellow citizens, doing things that an obstructionist, do-nothing Congress will not do.
