Pawlenty asked: “Why do you hate the poor?”

This was too good to pass up, I read this and just thought I had to share. The Governor of Minnesota, Tim Pawlenty, has a radio show and apparently things got a little out of control. Most of this backlash is due to Pawlenty’s attempts to block funding for education, unemployment benefits and a number [...]

Creature called Healthcare reform

Creature called Healthcare reform

It has been about a week since my last posting, thank you all for you patience. There has been quite a lot going on in the world and in politics. Of course there is the earthquake in Chile that we are all paying close attention too. We also have the Health care bill resurgence that [...]

Ron Paul Wins!

Ron Paul Wins!

This news just came across the wire not more then 30 minutes ago. It is official, Ron Paul has won a straw poll that was conducted by the notorious CPAC.  You can see one of the speaker’s remarks here. Although this remark is one of less-professional of the bunch. But, calling your president a cocaine [...]

Spy Games

Now, we have all experienced cases where we thought our privacy was violated. It could have been that someone was easing in on a conversation or someone was digging through your belongings, but most of us have had an experience like this. Whether we know it or not. With the advent of the computer and [...]

Japan Again!

Japan Again!

What a great way to start the day. I wake-up and read that China has sold $34.2 billion worth of US treasury bonds. This means that Japan is once again the largest holder of US debt! It is way better to have our debt in the hands of a trusted ally rather then a power-hungry [...]

“Each of us puts in common his person and his whole power under the supreme direction of the general will” (Rousseau, p. 425).  What is in the best interest of society and who will lead the general will has been debated throughout the history of civilization. Jean-Jacques Rousseau added to the debate by defining the [...]

I do not like Sarah Palin

Many of you know that I do not like Sarah Palin. I do not like her beliefs and I do not like her as a human being. I think she fails miserably in both regards and is damaging the United States. I also find her very interesting, as do many people with a college degree. [...]

Why Tea Party Should Embrace Ron Paul.

US politics has a history of movements gaining rapid momentum and then fading away. Whether it is the Reform party victories in MN with Jesse Ventura, the law and order Republicans from the Nixon Era or the hippie movement that counter-revolted against the Nixon zealots. In the end all of these movements withered and devolved [...]

Franken becoming Dems Future Leader?

Sen. Franken has faced a daunting challenge in his first year as a US Senator. He barely won a highly contested and much publicized election with Norm Coleman and is part of a party/movement that is losing momentum rather quickly. Franken has also had to overcome a number of other obstacles. Many people (Republicans) have [...]

Drug Testing for Welfare? No!

Drug Testing for Welfare? No!

After I wake-up, make the coffee and get to work the morning usually starts out with me sitting down at the computer and looking at the news. Recently, for the past year or so, this routine has also included logging into Facebook. This is a great way for me to stay in touch with old [...]

USA Marijuana for Profit.

USA Marijuana for Profit.

It is obvious to many people that our nation is undergoing a change and we are trying to do so at a time of unparalleled debt. This can be a tricky thing to do. How can one manage the budget, fight multiple wars and have socially progressive programs? This seems like a recipe for disaster, [...]

Budgetary Insanity

Budgetary Insanity

The big speech was a few nights ago and Obama did a great job. He certainly brought a different tone with him as he delivered a stirring, informal and commanding address. Obama needed to make some points about his predecessor (Bush), about the direction of our country and about the opposition he is facing from [...]
