It’s no coincidence that the term ‘bail out’ describes the act of jumping from an airplane and plummeting to Earth while praying that a flimsy floatation device will deploy, returning you safely to solid ground. We should all be sickened by the irresponsible behavior resulting from unbridled greed for riches…
How was your week? My insurance policy was saved by B of A, my stock portfolio was devoid of WaMu, my mortgage payments are fixed and affordable, I grow most of my own produce in the basement hydroponically, (with solar powered grow lights), and I have my own natural gas…
I needed to take a break from raging against the utter nonsense of the Republican Presidential campaign, so thank God the economy is collapsing around me…I have some thoughts about that. Although this too, in my most humble opinion, is a mostly Republican fiasco, they could not have brought the…
I promised myself that I would remain focused and optimistic, at least for the next 51 days, but holy crap, Batman! I’ve actually had conversations with people who think that Sarah Palin is, if not the actual second coming, at least as good as it’s going to get; people whose…
Ok, so I helped boost the TV ratings for the GOP convention. Very simply, I was hopefully curious. Whatever my core beliefs, I was guardedly open to there being something of substance to take away from all the hoopla. Sadly, it was not the case. It was like watching Karl…

I mean, how ‘bout those American beach volleyballers? I guess this is somewhat of an extension of last week’s rant. After hearing the announcement that Condie has brokered an agreement with the Iraqis to bring the troops home by 2011, I have a few questions. Does this mean that we’ll…
Misinformation has been a staple of public manipulation since…well, since the invention of information. If you make something up, no matter how preposterous, it can often become as powerful as the truth. Tabloid “news” has taken this to the extreme with alien encounters, three headed monkeys and salacious tales of…
The Olympics are under way in Beijing, (in case you’ve had your ipod turned up too loud and your eyes closed), and China, with the help of Coca Cola and NBC, has two weeks to show how cool and friendly and ready they are to supply the insatiable needs of…
I’ve been wondering why the national mindset, or at least that part of it conditioned to stir people to action, hasn’t reached the same revolutionary tipping point of the 60’s. Being oppressed, misled or taken advantage of by one’s government has historically, after an appropriate period of whining and procrastination,…
