Politicians and Sit-coms
This is a posting about the hypocrisy of our national leaders and how their logic is similar to an argument once delivered on a sit-com. Unfortunately, the spineless ones in Congress aren’t funny.
There was an episode of Barney Miller on Election Day. The detective were called to a house where a woman was locked in [...]
Scotus Ruling: Why You Need My Book
The US Supreme Court has overturned the core of McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform laws. That means corporations and unions will be unfettered in their attempts to persuade, distort, and lie to people during campaigns.
The worst part: it will begin a new surge of fundraising by special interest groups that will cause even more economic chaos [...]
Pick One Already!
This is a posting about the non-sense from the media and both political parties about the economy and jobs. It’s best seen through a funny beer commercial.
LAS VEGAS, NV (December 3, 2009) – You’ve seen the Miller Lite commercial where the couple is at a restaurant and she asks, something to this effect, “If your [...]
Town Hall Truth: Death Panels Make Sense
This is a posting about the fear of death panels. The fear is both far-fetched and legitimate.
LAS VEGAS, NV (August 19, 2009) – Don’t dismiss the right-wing extremists views on death panels right away. They’re not entirely out of touch with American fears.
Granted, it’s difficult to take some of the right-wing extremists seriously. Most of [...]

Ending Congressional Corruption with NASCAR
There’s a good op-ed in the Washington Times about ending the corruption and money-grubbing tendencies of our elected officials. It involves NASCAR. And although it’s a little far-fetched, let’s look at anything.
LAS VEGAS, NV (April 23, 2009) – In previous posts, I have railed against the money corruption practiced by our elected officials. Taking money [...]
Economic Timing Of Politicians Way Off
Paul Solman, the economics reporter for PBS’ The News Hour with Jim Lehrer, had a great story tonight on The Paradox of Thrift. It’s worth watching. The gist of the story: the more we save, the worse the economy gets. What we need, it seems today, is George Bush’s advice after 9/11: Go out and shop. Ironically, the [...]
Baseball, Cuckoo’s Nest, Casablanca: Explain Today’s New World
This is a posting about understanding the changes we Americans face. If we knew that history – as told by our films and games — was repeating itself, then we might not be as uptight. At least we wouldn’t take the right-wing extremists so seriously.
LAS VEGAS, NV (April 14, 2009) – There is a recurring [...]
I Rest My Case On Why We’re In This Fix. Help!!!!!!!
This is a posting about a recent study on the effect of lobbying on our laws. It proves what I’ve been saying for years: many parts of our government resemble a banana republic and our lawmakers are money grubbers who spend more time looking for personal profits rather than making this a better country.
