We're going spend over $5 trillion dollars on these wars and occupations, according to Nobel economics laureate Joseph Stiglitz and everyday we are going to kill a few more children. We won't hear about them and we won't care about them even if we kill thousands of them but we will lose sleep over Casey Anthony's innocence or guilt or whatever. It's not that I don't care about that dead child. I care as much as I can given that I am completely unconnected to…

The Next 9/11
Do you remember 9/11? Do remember where you were, what you were doing and then what you thought when you saw the carnage on that day? I remember that my youngest brother lives in New York City as do a number of my friends and contacts. I remember that my dad worked at the Pentagon sometimes during that time and was missing for hours because of his job in times exactly like that.

It Took Nixon to Go to China and Obama to Destroy Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security
I try not to lose my mind too often but then I, like you, have been watching the political theater of the blind, leading the stupid at the direction of idiots, around the debt ceiling. It’s times like this when I wish to God that we had a media capable to doing its job the hardest.

You see it says that once we…

Spiritual Warfare On America
Much has been made about the religious right's influence on American politics. I often find myself thinking that the religious right is neither right nor religious but I'd be wrong.... they are also political. Recently the Republican candidates for President revealed to you how powerful and political the religious right is by all but declaring spiritual warfare on American society. They hold so much power over the Republican Party that its leaders confer with…

Katrina-Ed
Danziger Bridge, at the end of June police officers were testifying on how during the post-Katrina flooding they massacred black people to keep them from fleeing from the flood to safety and then covered up the killings. It was part of a mini-genocidal, racist rampage that went on and was…
