Hope, McSame Or Real Change: What Are These Pols Really Offering?

So with all of the financial upheaval going on lately I don’t know what to do. Unemployment in California is the highest it’s ever been at 7.7%. As you may (not) know the reported rates are for new cases and isn’t added to the existing rate. That ‘rate’ represents people. Wall Street gets the big [...]

Common Sense Flickers Briefly

Wow what a difference a few hours make! Ah-nold FINALLY signed the dang budget! He’s still a jerk and bad for the average citizen that makes less than $100K but at least some of the other members of the state legislators who aren’t multi-millionaires or married to political royalty have an understanding of the basic struggles [...]

What’s Good For the Goose Is Good For the Gander, Right?

So there was some foreign money involved in the $85B WELFARE CHECK issued to AIG, but the brunt of it is still being passed onto you, me and the future grandchildren we may never have. Who can afford to have kids? I’m not talking about draping them in designer duds for tots either. I’m talking [...]

Do You Prefer Mandarin or Cantonese?

No I’m not talking about food. Although it is yummy and given the correct portion sizes very healthy, but the Chinese I’m referring to is language. I know there’s this continued brouhaha over dual language education that masks a lot of racism from whites and their desire to hold onto a majority populace in relation [...]

The Costs for Supporting White Male Patriarchy and Greed

So we’ve got less than 50 days and according to numerous polls this election is tighter than a drum. How can that be? There’s the possibility that the corporate media is flat out lying to the public to mislead us. Ok let’s be real – that’s more than likely – especially when you take into [...]

Do They Know Something We Don’t?

Who’s the “They” I’m referring to? Those ‘good ol’ boys’ religious perpetrating neo-cons that’s who. We know McCain only allowed limited access to his medical reports. What I don’t get is why the corporate media has gone along with it. Well, I can guess! We know if it had been Obama this would have been [...]

The Love Of Money – Ah You Know the Rest!

Well, we’re going to get the Republican spin and scrub job on the latest Wall Street crash. It’s the worst since 9/11. This has been coming for some time. As a voter I’d think all that needs to be discussed right now is the economy and lay it at the feet of those at fault [...]

Objects in the Mirror Seem More Important Than They Are

Seriously. Last week it was about lipstick, pigs and dogs. Now it’s about Obama Waffles. So what’s it gonna be next week? I for one am sick to death of the fake outrage, distractions and non-troversies. The first Presidential debate kicks off September 26th and I for one can’t wait. Then we’ll really have something [...]

Some of My Doubts About Humanity Have Been Restored

Paul Begala just did a funny mocking of Shrub on Real Time. Bill Maher is slamming the Democrats for screwing up their campaigning. I disagree with his assessment that Barack should have picked Clinton for VP since McCain chose Palin. McCain may have wanted to pick someone else – as rumored it was LIEberman – [...]

Since Anybody Can Be Picked for Vice President Why Not You Or Me?

So as you may have heard Sarah Palin fumbled a bit in her interview with newsreader Charles Gibson. See when you and your network are so biased and desperate for participation that you make what should be a continued vetting process an open book test you lose whatever credibility you have left. You should not [...]
