Word this weekend is that President Obama is ready to drop the demand for a public health care option. In other words, once again, the spineless Democrats have failed in the face of a much-weakened Republican party effort to stifle it. If this administration cannot get us a public option it will be the first […]

I noticed that Senator Ted Kennedy was noted as being too ill from brain cancer to attend the funeral of his amazing sister Eunice Shriver. My first thought when I saw this was that his being that ill probably means that he’s not doing at all well and may be on his own deathbed at […]

Popular conservative publication Investor’s Business Daily ran a piece against health care reform saying that the much talked about end of life counseling piece would have terrible repercussions and stated that people like noted professor Steven Hawking “wouldn’t have a chance” in such a system. “People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn’t have a chance […]

In case you haven’t heard the really questionable rhetoric being put forth by Glenn Beck on Fox News is finally being addressed in a way that hits this sort of show where it hurts most—in it’s wallet. News came on Tuesday that insurance giant GEICO has pulled its advertising from the program. Last week Beck […]

Bill Moyers conducted an interview with a man by the name of Wendell Potter who, for 15 years rose to be the head of corporate communications for Cigna—one of the nations largest and most successful health insurance companies. Mr. Potter recently left Cigna after a distinguished career there after having had a crisis of conscience. […]

Another telling event happened yesterday that I almost forgot to mention. On an early morning Fox News show they were discussing all the town hall meetings that are being “attended” and the talk turned to the debate over them turning into a mob atmosphere. The main host showed some selected footage from a few of […]

So I’m switching through channels last night and I noticed that on Fox News there’s a one hour show on the 40th anniversary of the Helter Skelter murders ordered by Charlie Manson of Sharon Tate and six others over two nights back in 1969. The show is hosted by Fox’s Greta Van Susteren but it […]

The news this morning should be joyous with regard to the release of the two U.S. journalists from North Korea. Instead, in an on-going example of just how screwed up our country has become, the Right is contorting itself to find any way to cast a negative hue over this positive event. I knew what […]

A couple weeks ago I was watching a segment on Hardball (with Chris Matthews) about the bizarre birther “controversy” and it included a woman by the name of Orly Taitz who listed her background as being a lawyer, a dentist and a real estate broker. Jon Stewart had a blast with the segment. The woman […]

There are 40 Americans this week that owe this country an apology—an apology that has nothing to do with racism or police in the Northeast. These 40 are from the ranks of our own representatives in the Senate. This past week, in an amazing show of strength against waste in government, the Senate voted to […]

Apparently we’ve invented a time machine and I totally missed the story. I’d have jumped at the chance to invest in the company behind it. What time machine? Well, that’s the only conclusion I can reach to explain the tinfoil hat crowd that believe President Obama wasn’t born in this country and continue to push […]

Yesterday I caught a news item and the instant I read it I knew it would only be a short wait before some at Fox News distorted it. Much to my non-surprise it was Sean Hannity leading the way. The news story was from USA Today and was titled, “Billions in aid go to areas […]
