They’re back.
Once again the wild religious right is rearing its ugly head. James Dobson, the reincarnation of Cotton Mather, has once again began the effort to mix his brand of “religion” with politics. His repressed desire to control the bodies of all women has driven him into a fury. He is intent on beginning a [...]
The weekend began on Friday morning with Joe Scarborough, a disgraced congressman of the embarrassing Newt Gingrich era, unleashing a venomous diatribe against the blogosphere. He did not speak to the facts presented by the bloggers but used the usual right wing ad-hominem tactics of a failed punditry. He used the Cheeto assault and threw [...]
It is with a heavy heart that I resume my blog today. I am going to miss Sundays with Tim Russert. I am really going to miss the sense of honor that he brought to politics. I can not call him a pundit because he was a journalist. He was not agenda driven and he [...]

The pundits are clearly in pain. They have lost their moral cover and are desperate to recede from the glare of the spotlight. They are now being seen as sophisticated Limbaughs and [...]
Today it seems the pundits have become much smaller.
They have lost a friend, yet much worse, they have lost an inspiration.
They have, for the longest time, confused inspiration with legitimacy.
Now they must face the confusions of their own making, and I do not think they are up to the task, no matter how many times [...]
A family member has died.
No longer will I be able to share my Sunday morning with Tim Russert.
The gold standard of Political interview has died.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Russerts family and to the millions of friends that he collected in his journey of understanding and explaining the intricacies of politics.
May the [...]
This is a fictional account of a frightening thought.
A party in power. A party powered by oil.
An incompetent steward surrounded by men with grandiose visions of 100 years of right-wing rule.
A compliant Congress willing to do anything to secure their agenda of controlling every ones bodies.
The curtain is torn, and the people see that the [...]
Today it appears that Rush Limbaugh has finally succumbed to his impotence and his sad drug addiction.
In an act of “manly bravado”, Rush, in attempting to compensate for his sexual problems, and without slurring a word, advised that American soldiers kill their captives.
He is listened to by Armed Forces Radio and is admired by many [...]
I am still in disbelief of what was said on “Morning Joe” this Tuesday.
Joe Scarborough, an unfaithful husband and a disgraced U.S. House Rep., had the temerity to quote from a shabbily written and discredited Vanity Fair article. Joe said that he had heard from hundreds of unnamed “people” that the article was true and [...]
I wonder what the pundits really think of the viewing public?
Do they think of us as real people seeking some sort of truthful account of world affairs? Are we fellow Americans who do not have access to the information networks that the pundits have been allowed to use?
We may not have the time, because of [...]
