(bumped up from earlier this evening — it is the most fascinating history, and a true must-read! – Susan) In the first post on our nation’s Social Security system I tried to give a brief history of how the program came about and the immediate needs of people suffering from the Depression that caused FDR [...]

From time to time, you just have to have fun with the words of some of our most public blowbags. And while they may have a valid point here and there, or even contribute to the greater conversation by being obtuse curmudgeons, TV pundits like Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann or that [...]

This is the second installment of a 3-part story about Medicare/Medicaid, although this part doesn’t really get to them. This part is more about my own brushes with poverty, only offered as background for the final installment coming in a few days. I mostly want you to be reminded of your own brushes with poverty.

Seconds (1966) Director: John Frankenheimer Rating: 4 Ambien (out of 5) On the surface, Seconds is the story of the myth of the ultimate male fantasy. Imagine The Truman Show voyeurism with the lustiness and self-loathing of a Woody Allen character. Arthur Hamilton (John Randolph) is a successful but miserable banker, the man in the [...]

I love Hollywood movies just like most everyone else. Give me a comfortable stadium seat, a good thriller, a bag of fresh popcorn, and a cold Pepsi, and I am as happy as a hog in warm poop. But I don’t go to the stars, even my favorite ones, for factual information about any candidate [...]

Mark Cunningham’s article Why Bam’s Flailing, in the September 10 New York Post, makes clear why Obama’s numbers are slipping and his solid ground has turned to shifting sands. Simply put, Axelrod’s main tactic of stirring up class warfare and playing the race-card in a divide-and-conquer strategy doesn’t work on the national stage. Cunningham writes: [...]

It goes without saying that most of the major bloggers — Markos, Josh Marshall, Digby, and many others — were so blinded in their desire to sink Hillary that they allowed (and even engaged in) unrelenting sexism and race-baiting. Their behavior during the campaign was so far from being progressive that I’ve concluded that they’re [...]

BY SULTAN KNISH (photo left) McCain is too Old and Confused to be President. That’s the message that Obama supporters are trying to put out and they have a point. After all McCain is clearly old. McCain is an aged 71 while Obama is a spring chicken at the tender age of 46. Unlike McCain, [...]

Once again Obama’s supporters and surrogates are colluding with neoconservative men, namely Bob Novak, the man who exposed Valerie Plame’s identity. I quote: Close-in supporters of Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign are convinced he never will offer the vice presidential nomination to Sen. Hillary Clinton for one overriding reason: Michelle Obama. The Democratic front-runner’s wife [...]

And I won’t have it! It’s just so mean and so unfair! LOOK at these blog posts, will you????!!!! I’m dividing these posts into the “Ahhhhhhhhhhhh” (Leave him alone, he tired boy!”) and the “Cackling with glee” posts. (I’m collecting so if you spot any, please, please share below in the comments!) IN THE AHHHHHHHHHHHHH, [...]

We already know that Barack Obama and campaign have robbed the Democratic primary of an honest discussion about the policies. Besides the coward’s fear of facing Hillary Clinton in any more debates — and blowing off the entire state of West Virginia by refusing to hold a SINGLE CAMPAIGN EVENT in that state — he [...]
