Last Tuesday’s Republican primary in the State of Indiana represented a sad day for America, and yet another step forward for the ultra-conservative Tea Party movement. Richard Lugar, a thirty-six year veteran of Congress, known as being one of the last remaining moderate Republicans in the Senate, was soundly defeated by Tea-Party backed candidate Richard Mourdock. Ironically, the political virtues …
Read the full story »Tea Party Sees Perry as Only Horse Left in the Race
It should come as no surprise to anyone who is following the Republicans’ contest for the presidential nomination, that ultra-conservative Governor Rick Perry‘s “star” has fallen almost as fast as it rose. In fact, it seems as if Perry has set an all-time record for losing his political edge by falling off his horse before it even left the barn. …
U.S. Child Poverty Rate : A National Disgrace
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development recently released some sobering statistics related to child poverty throughout the developed world. The figures included only North America, Europe and a few other developed countries, and were intended to show the percentage of children who live in households that get by on less than 50% of the national median income. Since the …
Internet Pornography and Domestic Violence
There are conflicting interpretations about what constitutes pornography. Perhaps we should consider how former Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart defined obscenity, “…I know it when I see it.” The same can be said of pornography, whether it is soft porn or hard-core. And like it or not, it is pervasive on the Internet. Pornography has now become a complex and …
The Tough Lessons of 2011
By the end of this week, three quarters of the year 2011 will behind us, leaving only a few months left until year end. So far, 2011 hasn’t really given Americans too much to cheer about, and certainly hasn’t lived up to the expectations for a decent economic recovery. I suppose the best thing that can be said about 2011 …
Republicans Show “Bad Faith” on Funding Bill
The Republicans are up to their old tricks again, and it looks like the American people are facing the implications of yet another government shutdown at the end of next week. For those Americans who were hoping this divisive issue was settled last Summer, when Congress finally came to an agreement at the eleventh hour to raise the debt limit …
Fuggedaboutit!
In an article of Psychology Today they discussed the word “fuggedaboutit.” Though they described the word as “Alpha Male Linguistics,” I am telling you today as a female, Fuggedaboutit! The Stock Market is tanking. So what else is new? I could go on and on about all the problems many of us face, but this is Take a Break Day. …
Rick Perry; Bad for America and Bad for You
The Republicans are scheduled to hold another debate this coming Thursday, and there a little doubt that the issue of Social Security will again be a hot topic. Who would have ever thought that any Americans, even the ultra right-wing conservatives , could stoop so low as to question the continuing existence of a federal program so vital to the …
Wake Up! It’s Class Warfare on The Middle Class
While President Obama‘s new tax plan may not appease everyone, it is appalling for the Conservatives to call it “class warfare on the wealthy.” Excuse me, but the wealthy have enjoyed tax cuts for years and have loopholes galore, unlike the middle class. Since Bush enacted those tax cuts for the wealthy some years ago, I would like to know …
The Information “Genie” is Released in the Middle East
The results of the so-called “Arab Spring” have permanently changed the landscape of Middle-Eastern politics, and it’s not over yet. There is little doubt that popular uprisings will continue in Syria and Yemen, and will undoubtedly spread to other places, such as Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. Each of the uprisings have resulted from different sets of circumstances, although all of …
Snark Fest! News and Blues
Death Penalty: Rick Perry is now a front runner for the GOP presidential nomination. He has carried out 234 death penalty executions in the state of Texas and leads the pack for “hang ‘em high” justice. Now the life of Duane Edward Buck is on the line. His trial was tainted by racial innuendos and he is on Texas death …

Women as Enemy: A Film About Brutality Toward Our Global Sisters
For far too long in history, women have been perceived as chattel, disposable and expendable. This past year we witnessed uprisings in the Middle East during their Arab Spring. Women often fought along side men to oust oppressive regimes. In Bahrain, however, women are still at risk of torture and rape. Yemen women played activists roles in toppling President Saleh, …
