The world is going to hell in a hand-basket.  Oil prices at all time highs, the mortgage crisis forcing tens of thousands of American families out of their homes, and greedy Republican warmongers have embroiled us in an unwinnable war in Iraq.
Still President Bush has responded by hosting a Tee Ball game on […]

Those lovable scamps over at Anonymous are planning their next little intervention against the Cult of Scientology (Co$).  On July 12th, 2008, the loosely knit group of protesters will take to the streets and byways surrounding Co$ ‘churches’ to bring public attention the intelligence arm of the organization called the Office of Special […]

Washington and California are about to join only 3 other states in enacting tougher cell phone use laws.  Starting next week both states have outlawed the use of cell phones without a hands-free headset while driving.   In California, you can get pulled over simply for having the cell phone held up to your […]

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has come out against the energy policy of presidential candidate John McCain.  Criticizing the much ridiculed proposal to lift the ban on off-shore oil drilling, Arnold has made no secret of his disdain for the proposal - even with Florida Governor Charlie Crist, a supporter of the proposal within earshot.
Arnold […]

John McCain is trailing in almost every aspect of every poll.  He and his staff are desperate to try to find some topic upon which to build a campaign.  With all of the topics available, with all of the issues that American’s are dealing with on a daily basis, the McCain campaign seems […]

One of the greatest and most controversial American comedians died Sunday at a hospital in Santa Monica.  One of his routines, Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television, led to the 1978 U.S. Supreme Court case F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation in which the Supreme Court agreed that the government had the right […]

In quite a few news articles the mass media is reporting news that really isn’t quite news.  It seems that Senators Barack Obama and John McCain have very different views on both national security and the recent Supreme Court decision that affirmed any prisoner of the US government has the right of Habeas […]

As our Attorney General, Michael Mukasey, continues to insist, there is no reason to imagine that the sub-prime mortgage problems will result in the same level of global crisis that the Enron scandal did just seven years ago.  Mukasey has gone on record as saying that "…he did not feel the mortgage crisis […]

In a stunning move for the fight against the Cult Church of $cientology (Co$) one of their rank and file members has assaulted a peaceably protesting member of Anonymous.  I can only assume that the Christian value of ‘turn the other cheek’ has little or no value to a $cientologist.  (What am I saying, of […]

As much of the world watches breathlessly, Barack and his crew are working to pick a Vice-Presidential candidate that will have uncontroversial mass appeal.  They are hoping to pick someone who can be shown to have the appeal and therefore the backing of major demographic groups.
We know that the Clinton’s are not on […]

It seems like Still President (S.P.) Bush is about to go against the long held position on federal bans in off shore oil exploration and drilling.  With gasoline exceeding $4.00 a gallon, both S.P. Bush and his clone John McCain have declared in recent speeches that the time has come to destroy our […]

Some of you might remember that I favored an Obama/Edwards ticket.  So much so in fact that I created their bumper sticker for them.

Well, an article that I stumbled across this morning seems to indicate that John Edwards might have changed his mind regarding that all important number 2 slot on the ticket.  The […]

The RIAA has come up with a new, improved sliding price scale that they’ll be charging students accused of P2P file sharing.  If the student engages the RIAA legal team in any way, the cost of the settlement jumps from $3000 to $7000 or even $8000.
It sounds to me like the RIAA is […]

I wandered over to EB Games today to look for a copy of Mario Kart for the Wii.  Like every other on-line retailer I’ve tried today, they are out of stock.  While I was there I checked out a couple of the top selling PSP games, just so I can see what other people like.
Anyway, […]

In a not very surprising reaction to yesterday’s Supreme Court’s Boumediene decision, John McCain has stated uncategorically that this decision is "..one of the worst.." decisions ever.  Why would he say something this inflammatory?  Oh, right, because he’s a nasty Republican Bush clone.
He’d like nothing more than to deny these so-called terrorists the […]

Well, it seems like the reason Tom has turned his life, wife and child over to the ministrations of the Cult of $cientology might be related to some deep-seated issues resulting from the neglect he suffered as a child.  Tom has come clean about the way he was treated by his "bully and […]

In an unprovoked verbal attack on yet another sovereign nation, our Still President Bush has told Iran that all options are open to him as courses of action to thwart their nuclear ambitions.
Hoping to garner support among the few European leaders who are not ignoring him, still President Bush wants more punitive measures […]

Both of the presumptive nominees have declined an invitation from NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg and ABC News to host the first of many Town Hall debates.  Both candidates stated a desire to not limit the event to one network.
Rather than decline the original invitation I would have liked to see them bargain for […]

A well written letter to the editor by a guy much like me.  I find the last two paragraphs very insightful and oh so true.  From the Delaware County, PA newspaper.
Letter: Hillary Clinton damaging reputation of her opponent
To the Times:
I am a 53-year-old white male professional who has been watching the campaigns with […]
