It should come as no surprise that the highly dysfunctional U.S. Senate was unable to reach a compromise on the so-called “Student Loan Bill”.  Although most lawmakers in both parties agree that extending the low 3.4% rate on federally subsided Stafford Loans would be a good thing, the disagreement comes on how the $6.0 billion cost would be funded.  As …

Glenn Beck: Vitriolic Attacks Lead to Death Threats Against Frances Fox Piven

Does anyone really believe that the hateful rhetoric abounding in the mass media does not lend itself to violence? There are those who cling to the First Amendment in a cloak and dagger form inciting violence such as we witnessed in Tucson recently. One example of this is Glenn Beck, who has taken on 78 year old Frances …

Did Anyone Find My Sanity at Jon Stewart’s Rally?

Not watching TV lately has kept me out of the loop but I still feel loopy, if you know what I mean. I cannot seem to get the voices of Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, Sarah Palin or Christine O’Donnell out of my head. What if we are stuck with these people forever like an episode of the Twilight Zone? My sanity is at risk here, people.

I Have Been Glenn Beck-etized! Well, Not So Much…

The messages from Beck were duplicitous, given his statements on TV night after night. Perhaps he is wrestling with his own spiritual demons. I do that that he is a man to be watched. Charisma is great for ratings, but when one man can make heinous statements and then tell people to “…look to God and to love”, well, I cannot help but be alarmed…

Nibbles and Kibitz: My Weekly Round-Up of News

The group, which happened to be Christian-sponsored, was accused of “proselytizing” and “spying”, acts punishable by death. One member of the team was Dr. Little who was an optometrist working in outlying regions of Afghanistan for 40years. Nice. Who says you can’t win hearts and minds in Afghanistan?

Tea Baggers and Palin: This Democrat Welcomes Them

Well, golly gee, I just can’t think of anything that would please my blue blood as a Democrat as much as Sarah Palin splitting the Conservatives  in two and having herself a grand ol’ Tea Party in the next Presidential election. I am certain that Republicans are all in a dither about this possibility, while we Democrats say, “Bring it …

Beware The FOX and The Hound of Glenn Beck

Beware The FOX and The Hound of Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck has gone over the edge of reason and FOX is enabling him in the name of Ratings. I find him offensive. His innuendos are unacceptable.

PALIN ON FOX: TO THE FAIR AND UNBALANCED

Beware watching FOX. When you least expect it, Palin will say, “Come to the light!” and you could be drawn into a force called the dumbing-down of America.

‘Twas The Night Before An Obama Christmas

As dry leaves that fall before new public option,
When met with an obstacle, they threw their old stocks in.
So up to the house-top discoursers they flew,
With a sleigh full of toys and Tiger Woods too.

FANTASY FOOTBALL: LIMBAUGH STYLE

FANTASY FOOTBALL: LIMBAUGH STYLE

Rush Limbaugh wants to buy the Rams, eh? I have a better idea. Since el Rushbo hates Liberals, is a racist, a homophobe, and does not think women like football, I have decided to create a fantasy football team for Limbaugh that will put him in a league of his own. With “talent on loan from God,” Limbaugh can call …
