I would like an answer to my question. How can someone be so determined to knock everyone else off the stage that he would spend nearly a billion dollars to do it, and when his waffling and doubling dealing in office don’t yield the desired result, blame President Bush and everyone else under the [...]

I wasn’t alive when America witnessed the assassination of John F Kennedy, and was a mere toddler when Bobby Kennedy was killed. I was just three when Chappaquiddick happened. I grew up in the generation of John John, and sadly we experienced our own Kennedy tragedy. The entire Kennedy clan seems to be touched by [...]

As a liberal from way back, I must say, if anyone on the left allows themselves to be represented in thought or deed by the likes of Keith Olbermann and Village Voice’s Michael Musto, they really need to rethink their life choices. Jay Leno has also earned himself a spot [...]

We have been exposed to an education lately on International Law and the Rule of Law. Everyone has been following the torture memos and some of us have a quaint understanding of how the U.S. signing the treaty at the Geneva Convention forcibly influenced laws that we were required, by the treaty, to add [...]

Your op-ed in the LA Times on Friday, The GOP: divorced from reality, was really something to behold – a compendium of all the worst smears you could find, carelessly banding all those who oppose President Obama’s reckless actions on the economy into one group. I have never been a member of the GOP [...]

Dateline Afghanistan - The war continues on two fronts today. American troops under the command of General Emanuel, have reached the outskirts of the Taliban stronghold of Kabul. You might remember that the 16th army reached this same point back in 2025 only to be repelled by the [...]

We are only sixteen days into the age of the new messiah and his angel wings are in danger of falling off.
Consider, for example, that The One promised a new way of doing business in Washington but is responsible for managing the vetting of prospective nominees that green-lights not one but three tax [...]

Can’t President Obama take one day off from this bipartisan baloney (which isn’t ever going to really happen anyway, unless Obama has started believing his own hopey-changey prattle)?

President Obama I wanted you to lift me up. I was really hoping that finally I would feel what my wife feels, hear what my co-workers hear. I wanted to be inspired.
I wanted reasons to get on board, reasons to join those other 84%.
Today, you did not succeed.
This entire country, Dems and Repubs, [...]

It is obvious that we are standing at a major crossroads in the economic life of this country, and it is equally obvious that a major reassessment is needed about the way things are done, both in America and elsewhere. It has been my feeling for a long time that a major overhaul is needed [...]

Just as Daley controlled Obama in Chicago, Daley will control Obama in Washington, DC. I quote the Chicago Tribune with added emphasis:
It didn’t take long for Barack Obama to start playing a significant role in promoting Chicago’s bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics.
About 15 minutes into Chicago’s Friday presentation of its bid plans to [...]
