People Get Ready

Beware the Ides of March and Republican voter theft. Don’t wait until November 4th to vote people. Let’s look back at 2000 and 2004 shall we. 1. The lines may be long and you might be cut off. 2. Some voting places may suddenly not be available. 3. The police may block the roads leading [...]

Idiot Rethug Wind-Up Doll Gets the Smack-Down

I was watching this week’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher and had the opportunity to get my biggest laugh of the week. Watch and decide for yourself.

I’d like to be impartial and journalistic but Stephen Moore is a first-class tool. He’s on the Editorial board of the Wall Street Journal. He’s [...]

Beware the Herd Mentality

I watched the documentary Taxi to the Dark Side detailing the approval of torture of detainees (the abducted) by the US military. The Geneva Convention and Habeas Corpus have been thrown out the window. Mass hysteria caused by witnessing the horror of seeing the Towers come down or of seeing people jump from those buildings [...]

Fun With Future First Lady Michelle Robinson Obama

I must confess my support of the husband came from my identification with the wife. So I understand why some women are so drawn to Sarah Palin. (I don’t understand the lack of critical thinking and reasons for that support but oh well). There was that kerfluffle over those that misquoted this brilliant woman [...]

Ayn Rand Speaks – Will Anybody Listen?

I have started to wonder if Eliot Spitzer was really brought down because of a sex scandal or due to his investigations of companies with ties to the Bush administration. Specifically the relationship between the gov’t and AIG. Despite the news reports of their partying ways the Federal Reserve is going to kick in another [...]

2nd Debate Wrap-Up and Why Healthcare Is Paramount

So it was Round 2 of “I Wanna Be President”. McCain looked a little cagey. Obama played it cool and even smiled at McCain while he was slamming him. This used to make me yell at my teevee for Obama to ‘do something’ but I finally get it. When you are confident in your position [...]

Preoccupied By Economic Manipulation & Political Theatrics We Might Miss WWIII

This is a scene out of a Spaghetti Western. The firing squad has formed and is closing in on its target. Ready. Aim. You know the rest. As the USA spirals downward lets just say a few world leaders are probably snickering under their breath and wondering why it took so long. If Osama bin [...]

McLame Tries to Rehash the Kitchen Sink Tactic. It Didn’t Work for His Good Friends the Clintons So Why Bother Now?

Sarah Palin was in the Bay Area (Burlingame) on Sunday for a fundraising trip. You know she wouldn’t have dared set foot in San Francisco proper. Something about vampires and sunlight I think! You know the No-Talk Express train is headed for a possible collision – but not before running out of gas. Lame. Lame. [...]

Why Trying To Find Your Lost Post Feels Like The Economic War Greedy Peeps Have Declared On All of Us

I had a nicely edited piece linking how we handle our finances and active participation in voting is not only a good thing to do, it’s for our survival. I did save it and scheduled it to post then psst my internet went screwy and I could not get into my Blogger account or any [...]

Is Black Actress An Oxymoron? When Will Black Women Get Fed Up With Being Marginalized In Love and Life?

Just remember if you see a drowning person be careful how you try to assist them lest they drag you undertow. I was watching yesterday’s Oprah episode which featured the cast of the movie adaptation of the book, “The Secret Life of Bees”. Ok that was a long sentence. I tend to be somewhat cerebral and [...]
