Happy Meals Were Just Too Happy
San Francisco does it again with a whacked-out law to ban Happy Meals. Supervisor Bevan Dufty, who provided the swing vote, represents the arrogant majority who will protect us and our children from ourselves. She says critics should not dismiss … Continue reading

Election Crap Shoot
All the pundits and media are projecting large GOP wins in Congress for the upcoming election. I can’t understand why anyone would want to put the GOP back in charge after the mess they’ve already made. Then again, I thought … Continue reading
Military Now Gay Friendly?
The Military can’t seem to get it’s arms around this whole gay problem. Don’t ask, don’t tell? What’s it all mean? As far as I’m concerned, anybody that’s willing to take a bullet ( or shrapnel from an IED) for … Continue reading
The New and Very Old Christine O’Donnell
Christine O’Donnell is a comic godsend. Former witch, current Republican candidate and forever an idiot. The Republicans also know she’s an idiot but as long as she fills a seat and votes accordingly, who cares. The Party wins and anything … Continue reading

And I Thought the Losers Running for Governor Were in California
Here is another Republican piece-of-work. Carl Paladino who’s running for Governor of New York has threatened to ‘take out’ a New York Times reporter. This guy must have the brains of an ass. His campaign strategy consists of unsubstantiated rumors, … Continue reading

Politics and Comedy are Not Strange Bedfellows
I don’t know where to start with this opinion column from Darrell Delamides of MarketWatch. His beef is with comedians taking center stage in the political process as if that process is somehow sacred. All you have to do is … Continue reading
California’s Governor Non-Race
In California we have a Governors race that offers a pair of insipid candidates. The choice of Meg Whitman or Jerry Brown is depressing. Meg Whitman is just another ex-CEO who thinks she can bring her business acumen to government. … Continue reading

Power to the Party
Here’s a good article about an event from 1965 where a Republican Senator helped President Kennedy to convince other Republicans to support the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. Can you imagine any Republican today trying to help President O’Bama? They’d throw … Continue reading
Reading the Tea Leaves for the Tea Party
Ex-President Clinton thinks the Tea Partiers “have really good impulses”. Maybe so but they also haven’t got a clue. Too many ultra-right wingnuts are leading this menagerie. Most voters are moderates even though you don’t hear their voices (they’re too … Continue reading
Mission Accomplished…Again
Looks like we’re ratcheting down our military involvement in Iraq. Looks can be deceiving. The 50,000 troops left may not be called ‘combat brigades” but they’re equipped and trained to do anything that’s needed. Additionally, the troops sent to Kuwait … Continue reading
The Tea Party is Drinking Kool-Aid
The Tea Party ‘manifesto’ is just another conservative disguise for greed. Where were all these new found ‘activists’ when we launched into war with Iraq on fictional pretenses? Who re-elected George Bush even after these lies were discovered? Blood and … Continue reading

Freddie and Fannie Forever Fumbling Financials
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are two quasi-government organizations that help provide mortgage financing for buying a home. Unfortunately, they’ve been mismanaged and misused to the point that they are an albatross on the shoulders of the American taxpayer. Throwing … Continue reading
A New Body Scan Database?
Looks like the Feds are saving body scans despite their repeated assertions to the contrary. Just another example of government lying in the interest of national security. That seems to be the excuse du jour for anything and everything that … Continue reading
The USDA Grows Mismanagement
I don’t know if USDA Agriculture Secretary Tom Vislack was the real culprit or someone higher up but this foul-up is inexcusable. Any manager worth his pay knows better than to jump to conclusions without the facts…especially regarding personnel decisions! … Continue reading
Goldman Sachs Are The New Untouchables
So much for the much touted lawsuit against Goldman Sachs for questionable trading practices. These guys really do run the country. A few phone calls, some gentle public flogging, backdoor meetings and voila! A meager fine (based on what they … Continue reading
