It looks like Speaker of the House John Boehner is up to his old tricks again, threatening to block an increase in the federal debt limit ceiling without obtaining significant new cuts in spending. There is little doubt that the last two years, which resulted in over $1.0 trillion per year in deficit spending, will bring the country close to …
Read the full story »GOP Leadership Seething over Good Economic Data
It’s beginning to look like the year 2012 is going to be a solid year for economic recovery in the United States. Today, the much-awaited “retail sales” numbers were released by the Commerce Department, which showed a decent gain over the prior period. This follows other good news concerning housing starts, manufacturing activity, consumer confidence and employment. When combined with …
John Lennon Knew My Name
“From our ancestors come our names, but from our virtues our honors.” ~Proverb
Life meanders. We take so many paths and roads, and I have often wondered how much import our given name has. When I was preparing for each child I carried within me, I took a long time choosing a name for them. And as I look at my …
McCain Beats The Drums of War (Again)
The Congressional hawks are once again calling for the United States to take military actions against another country. This time the target of U.S. aggression is Syria, although Iran is not far behind. As could be expected, it’s Senator John McCain that is leading the chorus of Republican voices who see military force as a solution to every conflict that …
Advertisers Throw Limbaugh Under the Bus
For many years ultra-conservative and self-proclaimed prophet, Rush Limbaugh, has gained great popularity and a huge national radio audience by preaching a particularly divisive brand of extremist, right-wing dogma. By claiming an almost “Messianic” understanding of the truth, and using a highly inflammatory language, Limbaugh has managed to convince his listeners over the years of his near omniscience on political …
Afghans Want to Burn Americans, Not Qurans
The people of Afghanistan have been rioting in the streets, screaming anti-U.S. slogans , and killing American citizens ever since the unfortunate “Quran-burning incident” by the U.S. military on February 24th. This two-week long binge of violent behavior and hatred toward America has been largely fueled by top officials within the Karzai regime and the powerful Council of Muslim Scholars. …
Super-Tuesday: Romney’s Armageddon
The contentious race for the Republican Party’s presidential nominee was far from being resolved by last night’s primary elections in Arizona and Michigan. The razor thin win by Romney in his home state of Michigan clearly indicates that the ultra-conservative, Tea Party wing is not yet willing to give up hopes that one of their own (i.e. Rick Santorum) will …
Cultural Ineptitude: We Must Leave Afghanistan
We entered Afghanistan after 9/11 ostensibly to look for Osama bi Laden. Lo these many years later, we are as hated there by Afghan citizens as we were when we first arrived. To some extent, I can understand.
The Afghanistan citizens, both civilian and military, are furious with US troops who disposed of Qurans in a fire pit almost one week …
The Republican Party : A House Divided
For the first time since the Republican Party’s national convention in 1952, there is a good chance that no presidential candidate will have the required 1,144 votes needed to sew up the nomination at the time the convention begins. The possibility of a “brokered convention“, like the ones held a hundred years ago with party bosses in smoke-filled rooms, has …
Mind Fuzz: U.S. Wants a Theocracy?
Are you freaking kidding me? This country is screeching over contraception, what the Catholic Church wants, and upholding values that would throw us back into the Middle Ages! Are we going to listen to Bishops and Cardinals and whatshisname Santorum tell us how to get our morals back? I am sick unto death over people blathering on about issues of …
Tea Party Will Crash and Burn With Santorum
During this particular time in the primary “election cycle”, the Republican and Democratic Party front-runners usually step forward to stake a claim to their party’s presidential nomination. This time around, however, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum are both claiming to be the Republican candidate best suited to take on Barack Obama in the November election. The battle for supremacy between …

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, …
