Kathy never expected a career in radio as a talk show producer. Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Kathy was completing her nursing degree when in 2001 - in an emergency - she was asked to fill in as the producer of Mike's program. Within a few weeks she knew she'd found more than a temporary job. Since that beginning, Kathy has steadily grown more comfortable behind the control console, editing, engineering, and assisting in topic selection for the program while also retaining a fairly sizeable chunk of her sanity. Oh, and did we mention the utter (joyful) chaos of raising a daughter who, for some odd reason, only stops talking when she's asleep. Strange, that.
A life-long "talk radio junkie," Kathy takes her job with all the seriousness required, and thoroughly enjoys producing a talk show that's intelligent, factual, informative, and most of all entertaining. She takes great pride in -- and has great fun with -- the two biggest joys in her life: Their daughter Molly, and producing one of the most dynamic talk programs in radio.

The sole holdout from the Rapture-Ready-Right is, of course, Rick "the necromaniac" Santorum, who has indeed executed a miracle with his sudden glorious rise heavenward in the polls. Hallelujah. He's not ready to give up the God talk to descend into an earthly discussion of budgets and numbers.

As usual, the Neocons are long on critique and short on solutions. They love to attack the spending while offering no solution (beyond the expected tax cuts to the rich) to solve the current economic crisis. Not that it matters, as nobody expects it to pass during an elections year. It's all just part of the show.

Capitalism run amok continues to destroy middle class America. Today's compromise agreement between the US States and some of the nation's biggest, nastiest banks doesn't do much to ease the pain. Lawmakers are hailing this as a landmark win for the little guy. Are they serious?

Rick Santorum's camp must believe in miracles after the holy trinity he pulled off yesterday. Maybe He is the Chosen One after all? Will Santorum get the chance to lift his presidential gaze to heaven and replace all our biology books with the Bible? Speak in tongues and turn the "blah" people white as lambs?
Tuesday, February 7, 2012 A Dangerous Method
Israel has decided to come down hard on Syria, demanding that they rid themselves of chemical weapons in light of the uprising ... or else. Naturally, the United States is backing Israel -- but why?

Hey, we're Conservatives -- we can't be bothered by stupid scientific facts! Not about abortion, or cancer, or global climate change, or evolution, or anything! If it's not in the Bible, or wasn't uttered by Saint Reagan, it doesn't exist! How to you expect us to advance our anti-woman, anti-worker, anti-civil liberties, anti-minority agenda if you keep pelting us with meaningless facts?

Billionaire husband and wife team Sheldon and Miriam Adelson are so very rich, with almost $22 billion in the bank, the 8th wealthiest persons in America weren't happy with their other fancy toys, so they bought themselves a whole, entire person of their very own!
Monday, January 23, 2012 Lock Out
Values' voters chose ... Newt? The serial ethics-violator? The man who believes a marriage should be between a man and as many women as he can get to sleep with him? The planet-sized plutocrat who would put hungry kids to work as janitors to pay for their subsidized school lunches?
Tuesday, January 17, 2012 Boo Hoo! (1 comments)
Don't count the Occupy Movement out just yet -- they are regrouping and renewing their protest against the corporate takeover of our government. Nearly 1,000 protestors gathered at the Capitol to greet returning lawmakers with signs decrying the influence of money on politicians.
Tuesday, January 10, 2012 If it's Tuesday, it Must Be New Hampshire
Romney or Newt can buy the nomination, with ease. Has America given up completely on even the pretense of free and fair elections? How filthy and corrupt does the system have to get until we finally realize it is broken beyond repair?

"I refuse to take 'no' for an answer," Mr. Obama said, adding, "I am not going to stand by while a minority in the Senate puts party ideology ahead of the people we were elected to serve." For his sake -- and ours -- we hope that, for once, the interest of working Americans will be put ahead of Wall Street.

On the H5N1 avian flu virum, there's little real oversight, with safety left largely to individual researchers. ... And the rapid spread of an escaped flu virus would make it more dangerous than other deadly pathogens.
Tuesday, December 27, 2011 End Game
Oddly, consumer confidence is on the rise despite the increase in foreclosures, ongoing unemployment, and the inability of the Washington politicos to come up with a long-term solution to the economic morass. But, in this silly season, anything is possible.
Wednesday, December 21, 2011 Americans Held Hostage (3 comments)
Americans are being held hostage -- again -- by a clutch of Congressional Republicans who will stop at nothing to oppose President Obama, even if it means that their own constituents go hungry. All they do is whine about Democrats wanting to raise taxes and yet they do nothing to stop a major tax increase that will place an extreme burden on the citizenry. Hypocrisy doesn't begin to describe it. It is sheer madness.
Tuesday, December 20, 2011 Good Ol' Boys (2 comments)
Newt "who am I married to, again?" Gingrich is facing troubles with his bizarro derisive attitude toward the US Judiciary and his lies about (and overt hatred toward) Palestinians. He attacked a federal judge in Texas for refusing to allow state-mandated prayer in schools, then spread (more) incendiary lies about the Palestinian's in last week's debate.

Rather than fighting the civil rights of American citizens, perhaps these servants of God should focus their Holy War on their men of faith in positions of power who continue to rape and molest children.

Cain gave an interview to GQ and explained that voters like a lot of "manly" meat on their pizzas, that's why they should vote for him. Because . . . he's got the meat. This must be proof that he has no advisers or campaign staff -- somebody should stop him from invoking images of pepperoni and sausages while he's fighting sexual harassment claims.

The Teabaggers and other misguided "Mericans who believe FOX "News" exemplifies Upstanding American values and Patriotism and Exceptionalism and Apple Pie and all that, somehow overlook the fact that the "news" channel fosters and foments terrorism of the homegrown Timothy McVeigh type.

The rabid right-wingers on the air and the corporate media spread the propaganda and lies and try to manipulate public opinion against these peaceful protestors who -- after all -- are just fighting for our human rights.
Wednesday, October 19, 2011 Where the Wild Things Are
CNN last night had a real dog-n-pony show going on in Vegas. The real winner of the debates last night? Jon Huntsman, who had the foresight to stay home. The GOP should nominate him by default.
Monday, October 17, 2011 Poor in America (2 comments)
A brave collection of resisters are demonstrating in more than 200 cities around the globe in "Occupy" demonstrations to show Corporate America (or Corporate Italy, etc.) that we will not be sold into indentured servitude without a fight.
Tuesday, October 11, 2011 Too Big to Fail
Why should the rich corporate elites enjoy record profits when the rest of us suffer record unemployment record poverty, record foreclosures, and record hunger? Why are our elected leaders continuing to bow to their corporate masters while ignoring the plight of the people they claim to represent?
Monday, October 3, 2011 Supersize Me (1 comments)
While the middle class dies and the ranks of the poor swell, this country is talking about cutting the government's spending. While one home in four is underwater, this country's worried about the financial health of banks. While we fight two unnecessary wars, war criminals like Dick Cheney are given television platforms as if they were simply representing a different political point of view. That's insane.

Where is the compassion in these conservatives? What happened to the concept of America as a shining beacon on the hill? A nation of caring citizens who recognize the dignity and humanity in every individual, regardless of socio-economic status?
Wednesday, August 31, 2011 Dead Man Talking (4 comments)
Cheney promised that "heads will explode all over Washington" as a result of his book, probably just another in a series of violent, bloody fantasies, but in reality the book seems to contain little new information, facts, or insights. It's just a mundane laundry list of revisionist history from the twisted and tormented psyche of a very sick man.
Thursday, August 25, 2011 Stormy Weather
Moammar Gadaffi is still managing to hold onto a thread in Libya, as rebel forces and NATO troops advance on his position and will likely oust him before the end of the week. Makes you wonder what tricked-out US government-issue bunker and stash of weapons will be uncovered when he's found. We elevate them to power, then we topple them again.
Monday, August 22, 2011 Fox "News" Viewers Attacked By Brain-Sucking Aliens (3 comments)
The self-selected target audience of Teabaggers has been properly conditioned to receive the stream of misinformation directly into their mid-brains and will march like robots to the polls and automatically punch that ballot for the candidate Fox ultimately selects. And -- not that it matters -- they'll think they're doing it of their own free will.
Friday, August 19, 2011 Slip-Sliding Away (1 comments)
Rick Perry needs medication. His campaign is off to a slam-bang start, but not in a good way. First he insults Ben Bernanke in such a baseless and egregious way that even his own supporters backed away slowly from his comments and attack. As a follow-up act, Perry suggested to the Washington Post that scientists are faking research and making up data to show global climate change is occurring when it really isn't.
Tuesday, August 16, 2011 Drill Baby, Drill
It's barely been a year since the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, but instead of tightening regulations on drilling and safety, this administration is relaxing them to allow Shell Oil to expand it's drilling into one of the most fragile environments on Earth.

Bachmann won the Iowa straw poll, but Rick "Goodhair" Perry is the current favorite. This begs the question -- with both of these Bible-thumping spokes-models in the race, can the underlings that stock the backstage green rooms at the GOP debates supply enough Botox and AquaNet for both Bachmann and Perry?
Monday, August 8, 2011 Game Over
We need FDR-style leadership and programs, not FDR-style fireside chats that use lofty words to say nothing. A masterful chess game? Seems more like "Jenga." Pull out one more piece, one more failed policy and our entire system will crash to pieces.

Were there an actual, tangible, verifiable locus of eternal torture, excruciating agony, unspeakable suffering complete with an authentic bottomless lake of fire, then recently deceased Georgia State Representative Bobby Franklin (R/Lunatic) -- who never met a cross he didn't want to ignite -- would now be flailing in a lava pit while tiny clawed demons chewed off the remains of his charred flesh.

Politicians, corporate rapists like the Koch brothers, the utilitarian murderers at BP, who have declared open-season on us working-class mortals, are seeking only to advance their economic and environmental rampage like an endless army or marauding Roman soldiers. After these and myriad other cataclysmic assaults, do we have the energy, the moral fortitude, the will or ability to stop this runaway train?

The founding fathers ended slavery. Gotcha. Guess it only took them 100 years. Seems she's forgotten that pesky ol' Thomas Jefferson/Sally Hemming tidbit. And that Abraham Lincoln (hardly a founding father) wrote the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. During the Civil War -- not the Revolutionary War.
Wednesday, June 22, 2011 Dirty Laundry
Let me get this straight, we can't see the face of an executed Osama bin Laden because exposure to that image might be too disturbing, but we can listen -- at length -- to a woman screaming in agony, her pixilated image writing on the screen, begging for mercy...and that's okay with everybody? No ethical concerns at all?
Monday, June 13, 2011 Big Brother Wants Your Garbage
Agents have asked for the right to rifle through our refuse because they claim they need to use information found in a subject's trash to put pressure on that person to assist the government in the investigation of others. Even more fun, the new rules alter the "undisclosed participation" clause of the old manual, and would allow agents great leeway in their infiltration of private group meetings.
Tuesday, June 7, 2011 The Ol' Skedaddle (1 comments)
The longest war ever continues. The casualties mount. There are more than double the number of US troops in Afghanistan now than when President Obama was elected and he has expanded the war into Pakistan. There is no victory in Afghanistan in sight. It has now lasted longer that World War 1 and World War 2 combined and is the longest war in US history.
Wednesday, June 1, 2011 In Flander's Field
Most celebrated Memorial Day Monday as a summer kick-off, paid vacation day from work, with burgers and brats on the grill, blockbuster movie releases, breaking out a fresh tube of sunblock or packing up a picnic basket for the park. But for our troops in Afghanistan, Iraq, and in older theaters in the never-ending American wars there was little to cheer about.
Thursday, May 26, 2011 Tornado Diplomacy
If you're a newly homeless Joplin citizen, without a car to get to work or perhaps with only a mass of rubble where your place of business once was, don't expect any food stamps or assistance if Cantor has his way. Nice little political football you got there, Eric. Don't put all your eggs in one wind-damaged basket -- wildfire season is just around the corner!

Thursday, May 12, 2011 What Is Our Children Learning? (1 comments)
That infamous Bush "misunderestimation" of our public educational system becomes a crucial question indeed when the educational publishing house--Scholastic, Inc.--climbs into a bunk-bed with the coal industry to publish propaganda aimed at 4th-graders about the glories of one of the most toxic substances on Earth.
Tuesday, May 10, 2011 Put Up The Big Top. . .
Yes, it's that time of the season, when the zaniest and most disturbing of the side-show freaks lurch out of their boxcars, toss their pointy-hats into the GOP center ring and declare their respective candidacies for the Presidency of the United States.
Wednesday, May 4, 2011 Not In Our Name
There is a new first-hand report detailing the unspeakable horror and torture some Iraqis suffered at the hands of U.S. interrogators under order of the Bush Crime Family and operating in our names.
Monday, May 2, 2011 May Day
Taking down bin Laden was at one time the stated main objective of the never-ending Bush terror wars. The definition of victory in their "war" was never clarified, but now that the central evildoer has been removed, isn't the mission accomplished?
Wednesday, April 27, 2011 Birther Madness (2 comments)
Stating that he's finally had enough of the silliness and expressing his desire to return to the business of running the country, President Obama released the long-form version of his birth certificate, ending Birther Madness forever. Or not.
Tuesday, April 26, 2011 Not In Our Name (6 comments)
The truth about GITMO, exposed in leaked documents written by the very people who ran the place, show the inhuman brutality and torture against a group of 779 "enemy combatants" held without formal charges, without civil rights, on the thinnest pretext and interrogated for years without gleaning one iota of useful information that would -- allegedly -- "keep America safe."
Thursday, April 21, 2011 Atlas Threw Up (3 comments)
Despite President Obama's extreme efforts to make nice with the Neocons, they're still aiming for the jugular, with state Governors leading the assault. And they will not stop until the middle class is destroyed.

Pro-corporate forces from Washington to Wall Street want you to believe that the chemical stew has magically disappeared without adverse impact, leaving healthy coastal communities, pristine beaches, unharmed ecosystems, undisturbed wildlife, and perfectly safe seafood.
Wednesday, April 13, 2011 Show Me the Money
Obama folds like a paper napkin anytime Bohener raises his tear-streaked face with a hint that the President's policies aren't acceptable. If he crumples this time, we really could be facing the end of America as we knew it.
Tuesday, April 12, 2011 Drink Me . . .
The final blow is in the latest budget compromise, in which Obama accepted all of the Neocon's demands and gave away the long-promised representation of our nation's capitol city in Congress. Proving there is still some fight left in our ravaged political system, Vincent Gray, mayor of Washington, D.C., was arrested Monday for protesting the disastrous budget and Obama's selling out DC to Bohener.
Wednesday, March 30, 2011 Hunger in America (8 comments)
Each night, 45-million Americans go to bed hungry in this country, but that's not enough for the Neocons in Congress. There were 225,000 foreclosure filings in February, but the Obama administration is abandoning its foreclosure prevention program promised during the campaign before it even got off the ground.
Monday, March 28, 2011 Off the Reservation
It is rather refreshing -- especially following Rumsferatu -- to hear a Secretary of Defense actually admit -- in plain language -- that we're rushing in with our Big (taxpayer funded) Guns blazing, even though we have no dog in the fight.
Tuesday, March 22, 2011 Obama Shrugged
Did you miss the Iraq war protest Saturday (March 19) in DC? Or the Bradley Manning demonstration at Quantico Sunday (March20)? Watch the videos below. Protesters were arrested on both Saturday and Sunday, among them Daniel Elsberg, Mike Malloy, Ann Wright, and many others.
Thursday, March 17, 2011 Eight Years Too Many (3 comments)
Thousands of dead Iraqis and Americans later (with tens of thousands maimed and crippled, physically and psychologically) that brutalized nation still is mired in chaos. What was the point? Was all this sacrifice from the common folk of two countries simply and insanely about profit, war profiteering and power for the elite few in this country who are slowly killing us all?
Monday, March 14, 2011 Meltdown
What's the main difference between a NeoCon "sting" operation, as James "Teabag Me" O'Keefe orchestrated against NPR with his fake Muslims -- and the telephone impersonation of David Koch by gonzo journalist Ian Murphy that showed Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was in bed with the Koch Brothers? The lying, of course!
Thursday, March 10, 2011 Sleeping With the Enemy (1 comments)
If you think it's bad in Wisconsin, wait until you hear what the Neocons want to do in Ohio and Michigan. The Koch brothers and their ilk won't stop until those of us struggling to survive the "new normal" in the "new" middle class is stomped out like the insignificant bugs they believe we are.
Wednesday, March 9, 2011 Pass the Oxygen!
A hearing yesterday of the House Energy and Commerce Committee's subcommittee on energy and power focused on the proposal to strip the EPA of it's authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. One guess which political party is behind the proposal. The science deniers are out in force again, this time their assault is focused on our lungs.
Monday, March 7, 2011 Another Brick in the Wall
What will be the eventual outcome in Wisconsin, will the forces of good defeat Governor Scott Walker and the Teabagger crazies who -- inexplicably -- protest labor rights, teachers, and middle-class values? The pressure is mounting on Wisconsin State Democrats to fold to Walker's threats; to wave pink slips over the broken backs of beleaguered state employees, and just pass his union-busting budget and get on with it.
Wednesday, March 2, 2011 Perpetual War for Perpetual Profit (1 comments)
Can you imagine what kind of strong, robust, secure country we would be if we had not wasted these hundreds of billions of dollars on these never ending terror wars? Not to mention the human lives and the cost to our maimed and traumatized troops who survived?
Monday, February 28, 2011 The People -- United -- Will Never Be Defeated
The Atlanta "Stop the War on Workers" rally at the Capitol was attended by about 300 pro-union supporters and about 35 Teabaggers across the street. These working-class zeros should thank a union for fighting for their right to have a 40-hour, 5-day workweek so they could attend a Saturday anti-union counter-protest. Oh, the irony!

ElBaradi criticized Obama's support of Mubarak and urged him to let go of the dictator, stating, "I mean, to ask a dictator to implement democratic measure after 30 years in power is an oxymoron.

Monday, January 24, 2011 "Greetings From Exile . . ."
In American society today, the psychotic ravings and murderous verbal imagery of a Glenn "shoot them in the head" Beck are tolerated -- rewarded, actually -- while any personality on the other side of the political spectrum who dares speaks too vehemently or drifts too far from the corporate line are ultimately silenced.

It's been an incredibly violent year so far, and it's only 19 days old. First the massacre in Arizona; the school shootings in Los Angeles, and then the 14-year-old South Carolina boy who received a .22-caliber rifle as a birthday gift from his father last September who took the gun and shot and killed his father and great aunt, and wounded his elderly grandmother.
Friday, January 14, 2011 In Memoriam (2 comments)
So while we remember Martin Luther King, and the many incredible accomplishments of his all-too-short leadership of the Civil Rights Movement, we should also realize that in the year 2011 some of our highest-paid and most respected members of society are blatantly, openly racist. We still have so far to go.
Monday, January 10, 2011 Massacre, Made in America (4 comments)
Remember the victims of the Tuscon massacre, and ask yourself the next time you hear the media lie that the "left is as bad as the right" -- when is the last time a liberal wack-job went on a killing spree?
Monday, January 3, 2011 Reality Bites
Looks like politics are off to a particularly ugly start for 2011, with the Neocons in Congress promising to attack President Obama from all directions, with total destruction their ultimate goal. Their first plan of action, led by Sen. Mitch "the lizard" McConnell, is to pummel Obama's flank by dismantling health-care reform piece by piece, ensuring that no sick child will have any kind of coverage, ever.
Tuesday, December 28, 2010 Nemontemi (1 comments)
There's an air of desperation and uncertainty during this particular American-style Nemonemi. As if we're not remaining quiet out of a sense of peace, serenity, or security, but more of fear that if we call attention to ourselves and our plight we may suffer (additional) negative consequences.
Wednesday, December 15, 2010 Wisdom
The late Richard Holbrooke spent his last breath pleading for an end to the war in Afghanistan. The Red Cross released a report this week saying conditions in Afghanistan are at their worst in 30 years. Now two "National Intelligence Estimates" have been leaked to the New York Times that confirm our worst fears about our occupation of that country.
Monday, December 13, 2010 Gone With The Republic (3 comments)
Neocons don't assume (official) Congressional control until January, but it feels they've been pulling the President's strings on issue after issue since near the beginning of his term. We need strong leadership now, not next week, next month, or next year.
Thursday, December 2, 2010 Pass the Nutcracker
Did you see this one? Anderson Cooper caught a Big Texas-sized local Congressional Wingnut birther who still maintains President Obama is illegally occupying the Oval Office because he is not a natural born citizen. Most frighteningly, Rep. Leo Berman was elected by otherwise presumably sane people. (shudder)
Wednesday, December 1, 2010 Don't Ask, Don't Make Me Slap You
Is this it? Will the ridiculous, juvenile, dangerous official Pentagon policy on gays in the military of "Don't Ask -- Don't Tell" finally be put to an end?
Monday, November 15, 2010 Semantics (1 comments)
Back in the real world of non-reality TV, Obama is poised to negotiate -- yet again -- with the bloodsuckers who have vowed to defeat him at any cost and now demand that average working-class taxpayers continue to bear the burdon of tax cuts for billionaires.
Wednesday, November 10, 2010 Spelling Bee
The latest wingnut to emerge from the glaciers is Joe Miller, who has now decided to evoke the Supreme Court decision in Bush v. Gore to force the state to stop counting votes. Or not count the ones that have spelling mistakes. Gee, I thought the Teabaggers hated that kind of thing.
Monday, November 8, 2010 2 Fast 2 Furious (2 comments)
Why was the suspension so short-lived? Did they bow to fan pressure (doubtful) or perhaps they decided to wait until the merger was officially approved, then shut down the whole dammed network (more likely).
Tuesday, November 2, 2010 Don't Worry, Be Happy! (4 comments)
Don't worry -- be happy! The Midterms still represent a big problem for the Democrats -- they're going to be voted down as a direct consequence of their dithering and leaderlessness -- but the political reality is that the world is not going to end."
Thursday, October 28, 2010 Never Forget
The Wikileaks revelations about the atrocities committed in Bush's never-ending illegal terror wars have been overshadowed by non-stop coverage of the coming mid-term elections.

I wonder if the Thomas' badger other people, or if they just focus all their aggression solely on Anita Hill? The good news is Mrs. Thomas is now under FBI investigation as a result of the call and hopefully the Feds will pull back the covers on her "Liberty Central" non-profit scheme and reveal the writhing maggots hiding under the sheets.

Do you ever wake up and wonder where the hell you are? How you fell down that rabbit hole? When you're laughing at the latest admitable hysterical political ad by Christine the Good Witch, or shaking you head at the outrageous homophobia of Carl Paladino, bear in mind that comical they may be, but they are far from harmless.
Wednesday, October 6, 2010 Smokin' Joe (1 comments)
Republicans don't pretend to represent people anymore, they only care about corporations. And now that, legally, corporations are classified as "people," there's no need for pretense anymore. Wake up, you remaining middle-class sheeple, before you vote yourselves into extinction.
Tuesday, October 5, 2010 Monopoly Money
If the Republicans win in November, the truly frightening aspect about the freshman crop of Teabaggers is that they are uniformly nuttier than a Snickers bar. They make wrist-slitter Michele Bachmann seem sane by comparison. Scarier still, there are people who will vote for them.
Monday, October 4, 2010 First Monday in October (2 comments)
if the Supremes find in favor of Snyder, then Beck will whip out his white-board and make with the maniacal scribblings connecting Kagan and the "activists" on the Court to some ancient Islamic secret society that will strip Americans of all civil rights and will mandate death by stoning for minor traffic offenses.

Poor Newt. He sees jihad everywhere. Must be dark and scary inside that gigantic head of his. Irony is, it's fundamentalist Christianity, not Islam, that's trying to take over America. And he's fast becoming the Teabaggers' Great White Hope for 2012.

Monday, September 13, 2010 Rhymes With Orange (3 comments)
Boehner's agenda of favoring millionaires and billionaires over the middle- and working-class is an attempt to lock us into the same leaky boat that Bush used to float the economy over the dam and into the rocks below, doubling the deficit and unemployment. Us "Mericans may be stupid, but we're not suicidally stupid. We know on an elemental level that a vote for Republicans this year will pull the proverbial plug on us all.
Monday, August 30, 2010 Don't Mess With the Missionary Man

Monday, August 23, 2010 The Incredible, Edible Salmonella (7 comments)
The hard-boiled truth is that our Big Corporate Farms treat breeding hens worse than Cheney treats Muslim detainees. The recent salmonella outbreak in eggs has the industry scrambling to explain the mass contamination. But the question shouldn't be how did this outbreak occur, but instead how is it that it didn't happen sooner?
Tuesday, August 17, 2010 Mosque Madness (9 comments)
Instead of piddling arguments over the exact location of a Mosque in the general vicinity of "ground zero," perhaps we should instead focus our limited energies on the reconstruction of our relationship with the Muslim world in the aftermath of the Bush wars.
Monday, August 9, 2010 The New Normal
Regardless of your opinion of the current Chief Executive, there was no way for him to undo the decades of damage from previous administrations that thrust us into this sullen funk in the first place. We're living the "New Normal," all right. And it would be wise to remember how we got here. And to decide what to do about it all.

What kind of majority does it take to stand up to the bullies and take decisive action for the American People? How long do the Democrats expect us to support them if they refuse to fight for us? We can only take so many wasted, watered-down bills before we give up on these weaklings.

Some 1,271 government organizations and 1,931 private companies work on programs related to counterterrorism, homeland security and intelligence in about 10,000 locations across the United States, with an estimated 854,000 people holding top-secret security clearances.
