Idiocy and Luxury

By Jim Hoover It is unmitigated idiocy to be cutting the federal budget now with over a 9% national unemployment rate. We need more investment spending on infrastructure, education, and manufacturing technology. Miscreant Republicans are controlling the debate on this topic. They know that sitting presidents normally have difficulty…

America: Fiddling Toward Decline

By Jim Hoover You remember hearing the legend that depicted Roman Emperor Nero as fiddling while Rome burned and was mostly destroyed by fire in 64 AD? The truth of the legend is irrelevant. What is relevant is that corruption and narcissism were endemic in Roman society at the…

Cantor and Kyl: Clowns for the Rich?

By Jim Hoover Two clowns, Rep. Eric Cantor and Senator John Kyl, performers for their real ringmasters, the rich, walked out of bicameral bipartisan debt ceiling talks. Ironically, the elephant in the meeting room still remained. Not the Republicans, but the obvious fact that these meetings, for the Republicans,…

Obama: No We Can’t!

By: Jim Hoover Obama needs about one billion dollars to get re-elected next year, and he will get the money from the rich. Therefore, he must prove the perspective of the well-heeled, like the old classic song, “You belong to me.” He knows that while Republicans will agitate over…

Republicans Speak for God?

By Jim Hoover Seeing the weak Republican presidential field, Rick Perry (above) looks good to Republican kingpins. Whether Rick Perry runs for president or not is immaterial. As another radicalized Republican, he is forced to follow the extremist path carved by Republican leadership, one supported by corporate money. That…

Christie not Spelled ‘Christ’

By Jim Hoover Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey is being courted to run for president. Perhaps it relates to his extremism. The Republican base likes radical right-wingers. How can we identify his right-wing stripe? Look at him, listen to him, and watch him. He is large. He is…
