Saving Earth There is no issue more important than the sustainability of life on Earth, is there? Marriage equality, the 99% movement, never-ending terror wars, corporatocracy, dangerous religious fundamentalism -- all is meaningless if we continue on this path of complete environmental destruction.

Brain Damage... Trump's brain-damaged legal counsel, Rudy the Befuddled, continued to self-stimulate on the Sunday talk shows, attesting that Muller had assured him the obstruction case would be sewn up by September. Well, as long as Trump and Rudy and the other buffoons who are running the zoo keep bumbling around the telescreens and twitter machines it might end even sooner!

March of the Mysogynists Romney and Ryan share more than a hairdo and penchant for blue blazers and checkered shirts (no tie, please); they have an equally fanatical vision of America that involves ending many of the hard-won civil rights and equalities that we fought for over the last American century; particularly where it concerns how and when women should be permitted to employ their reproductive organs.

The Lunatics have Taken Over the Asylum The story would be comical -- if it wasn't criminal child abuse. Imagine those poor traumatized little girls. First assaulted in their birth homes, then tortured by this cretin. Can you imagine being sexually asaulted, then turned over to this religious nutjob who locks you up in his personal asylum, then turned over to the custody of a rapist.

Hunger in America 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.

Hail Mary There is a last-ditch effort being made by those good Christian Republicans to prevent gay folk from having equal rights. The Supreme Court will soon announce its ruling on marriage equality, and the GOP wants to make sure they decide in favor of the haters, not the lovers.

Senator Rand Paul (R/KY) declared that dismantling the United Nations is a top priority. Rand Paul in particular has made some truly bizarre allegations about the world body in recent years.

His name is Omran and He is Alive The video of the stunned and bloodied Syrian boy sitting alone in the back of an ambulance is utterly heartbreaking. Covered in smoky dust, Omran Daqneesh doesn't cry, although he reaches up with a dirty hand to touch the blood on his head several times during the video. He is a painful reminder of the smallest victims in the ongoing Syrian civil war.

Win Ben Stein's Racism Stein takes umbrage at the concept that Brown was unarmed. The way Stein sees it, Brown was armed by his size and weight, if not his attitude. He was a big kid, and therefore he had a built-in weapon that, apparently, was threatening enough for officer Wilson to fire at least half a dozen bullets into his body.

World War Three? The Obama administration is contemplating airstrikes in Syria against a group that is threatening the Assad regime, because of its territorial gains in Iraq. The end result being support of Assad. The irony is stunning. But so typical of our convoluted relations in the world. Looking at a regional map it's hard to find a spot where the US is not involved in some nasty business.

Trump Everlasting Can't blame Trump for wanting to hide. Whatever. Who cares, right? Just that Tinyhands is getting panicky and still has the launch codes. And isn't afraid to bomb even when his own Gen. Mattis advised him to wait for Congressional approval. Nah, doesn't matter. We have no Sec. of State and you want a summit with N. Korea, why not?!

Dangerous Liaisons The big bad mother MOAB was as much a psychological as a physical message, and was likely also intended to show Kim Jong Crazy and Bashar-al Assad (or"Basaad" as Sean Spicer would say) that Trump means business. When the ratings are in the tank and your supporters are wavering -- bomb the sh*t out of something. Works like a charm (see: George W Bush).

It's Mueller Time! Is our long national nightmare about to end? The Manafort and Gates indictments are a good start, but even more significant is the plea bargain we learned of Monday by former Trump energy and oil adviser (and Model UN Delegate!) George Papadopoulos. Finally, a link between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives. There is is, collusion in all its glory.

Waterworld and Mad Max, Combined A study conducted last year came to the conclusion that radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster could negatively affect human life along the west coast of North America from Mexico to Alaska "for decades." What wasteland are we creating? With Fukushima to the West, the BP disaster in the Gulf, tar sands headed down from the North ... we are surrounded by man-made environmental disasters.

Me Too! Maybe it just took this long for these women to change the way they view their own civil rights and value as human beings. And for society to change as well. Today there are systems in place to report workplace abuse that didn't exist 30 years ago. And, at long last, attitudes about women's privacy rights have changed and been codified in law.

Obama has signed at least six federal emergency disaster declarations in the last 24 hours at the request of state governors, directing FEMA to deploy more resources in anticipation of significant recovery efforts.

Like the lady and the snake or frog and the scorpion, he can't help it -- just his nature. He is a psychopath devoid of normal human emotion. I guess the hospital patients should be grateful he didn't pelt them with rolls of paper towels.

Extreme Prejudice; Raising a Fresh Crop of Haters The recent uptick on police violence against unarmed black men, with frequently lethal consequences, is more than a minor comment on the state of race relations today. Could it be that having a black man (and he's just as white as he is black) in the White House was enough to unearth the dark, bigoted underbelly of so many nascent racists in America?

Biden His Time The longer Biden waits, the less decisive he appears. I wonder if his handlers realize this? He doesn't present himself as a strong candidate with a mission and fire in his belly to make a difference in the Oval Office. Certainly not as ready to start a revolution as, say, Bernie Sanders is, as brilliantly parodied by Larry David on SNL Saturday night.

March of the Neocons It goes without saying that Huckabee is opposed to marriage equality, even saying that allowing gays to marry would lead to the criminalization of Christianity: "Christian convictions are under attack as never before. Not just in our lifetime, but ever before in the history of this great republic. We are moving rapidly toward the criminalization of Christianity."

Fox "News" Viewers Attacked By Brain-Sucking Aliens 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.

Over Their Dead Bodies Shouldn't some of the responsibility for the current VA crisis be placed on the Bush Crime Family? Their terror wars created a massive influx of disabled and psychologically traumatized veterans, and they barely acknowledged their contribution to the ranks of the walking wounded.

Predatory Capitalism Predatory capitalism does not care about sufficient food for hungry Americans, or about a livable wage, or fair hiring practices, or equality in the workplace, or in education, or fair competition in the marketplace. It wants vertical consolidation, with absolute control. A nation of one Walmart. One Montsanto. One McDonalds.

But the question shouldn't be how did this outbreak occur, but instead how is it that it didn't happen sooner?

Why wait for the rapture to lose your earthly garments when you can worship unencumbered by earthly garments today!?

Making poor Hope Hicks cry for her "white lies" comments (wonder if he gave Kellyanne the same verbal whoop-ass over "alternative facts"?), calling Jeff Sessions "Mr. Magoo," enforcing crippling tariffs, and completely ignoring Putin's videotaped threat to drop a nuclear bomb on Florida.

Ergo, his wimpy response to Saturday's domestic terror attack was actually tacit approval of their actions.

Greed is Good? Now that the attempts to contain the oil volcano with a dome have failed, BP plans to clog the geyser with trash. Garbage in, garbage out. Couldn't have been more poetic if they planned it.

Beastiality, Teabagger style Boy those knee-slappin' Teabaggers. Ain't they a funny bunch of wise-crackers? Their latest attempt at humor is a video showing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (snarf!) having sex with a Panda! Ain't that just a riot? If you ever need proof that the Republican party is on the fast-track to a self-imposed implosion, this is it.

The End is Nye It's that timeline that really breaks it for most of us. We can calculate the speed of light. We can measure how far galaxies are from ours. These are provable facts, not theories. We know that our universe has to be billions of years old based on the distance of the Milky Way from other galaxies. Hard to argue with the Hubble. Or Einstein, Stephen Hawking, and the rest.

No Respect he Neocons have taken another step to work around the president, this time 47 Republican senators sent a letter to Iran, warning that any nuclear deal it signed with Obama might not last after he leaves office. Blatantly communicating with a foreign nation behind the President's back to undermine current negotiations? Is that not treason?

Good Behavior? As students return to college this semester, it might be a good time to revisit the Stanford rapist Brock Turner, who was just released from prison a mere 90 days after his already appallingly brief six-month sentence. You remember Brock, he raped the unconscious girl behind a dumpster and molested her so severely they had to dislodge pine needles and debris from her vagina.

C'mon Back Jesus -- and Bring your AR-15 In 2004, Boykin was reprimanded by the Pentagon for publicly explaining that the US military would win in Iraq because our (Christian) God is "bigger" than their (Muslim) God. He also characterized Muslims as Idol worshipers. He later intimated that our troops were fighting for Jesus in the War on Terror. Oh, and he said the true enemy of the United States was Satan.

The Trumpcast How to divert attention away from this nightmarish realization? Maybe with a Big Prime Time Presidential War Speech? Maybe send more American soldiers into the meat grinder? Worth a shot, anyway. Forget the fact that no foreign invader has ever subdued Afghanistan, going back to the 8th century BCE.

Bye, Bye, Bibi? Support for Netanyahu in the upcoming Israeli elections is waning, as is his Likud party in general. Perhaps his recent US address to Congress wasn't as popular among his constituents as it was with our Neocons at home. Today Bibi formally announced his opposition to a two-state solution, perhaps in an effort to solidify his standing among the extreme Israeli conservatives.

The Long, Hot Summer Regardless of the claims made by Neocon Luddites, global climate change is a very real thing. The good news is there are specific measures that can be taken to reduce the rate of climate disruption, if not reverse, the current and future damage from decades of barely-regulated fossil fuel consumption, among other toxins.

Pizza the Political Pie What's the connection between the popular pizza pie and the party of No? Is it simply a microcosm of how Big Business loves Republicans who promise to stomp on worker's rights and wage fairness so the fat cats can keep more pepperoni for themselves? That seems true, at least, for Papa John's founder John Schnatter, who plans to retaliate against his employees for the recent Obama victory.

Of Madness and Morons Friday Trump heads off for another doomed encounter with the NEW leader of the free world Angela Merkel on Thursday ahead of the G20 summit this weekend. I'm sure she's looking forward to that about as much as a root canal without Novocaine.

The Biggest Loser We've never faced a crisis like this in American history. 800+ US Attorneys General have signed a letter stating Trump was guilty of obstruction of justice, and was ONLY evading prosecution by remaining President. Robert Mueller must come testify. That is the next battle, and it won't be pretty. We are in desperate need of leadership in this country.

Seven Days To Fascism It only took Trump seven days from taking office to trampling the constitution, invigorating ISIL and other extremists, pissing off members of his party, and making Sen. Chuck Schumer cry. Trump was quick to dismiss Schumer's tears as "fake," much like his so-called "university," and his hairline.

Balance of Power So when you're watching the election results dribble in tomorrow night (hopefully while listening to this program), see if the talking heads pay any attention to these crucial votes on abortion, or if they just keep their cameras fixed on the various Senatorial campaign headquarters for the usual victory parties and concession speeches.

Ignorance is Strength, Freedom is Slavery, Money is Speech The Roberts Court has decided, a la Orwell, that some people are more equal than others. If James Madison wanted to equate money with free speech, he would've drafted it into the Bill of Rights back in 1787. He must be flipping in his grave. His protection of all citizens has become a guarantee that the vast majority of us will no longer have any say in our electoral process.

No, we have to worry about these two adolescent madmen and their arsenals.

Is There a Doctor in the House? The fact that Neocons are responsible for the lack of a Surgeon General has not stopped them from attacking the (nonexistent) Surgeon General for not speaking out about Ebola. Yeah, it's kind of confusing. They are criticizing an entity that doesn't exist and they are responsible for its nonexistence.

Or, more importantly, because the merchants of death in the gun lobbies come armed with boatloads of cash for those candidates willing to sacrifice our children for payola.

That can't happen because he is pathologically incapable of staying on topic. Trump is Trump, and always will be. I'm sure a President Trump would be firing off angry tweets against other world leaders, calling them sad, weak, low energy, or just plain liars.

Trump's first-year anniversary is approaching and his presidency is collapsing under the burden of his utter incompetence -- the center cannot hold. He cannot sustain this level of ineptitude, ignorance, and outright racism without consequence forever.

The Decider has decided to bare his soul to the world by displaying his creations in the Bush Presidential Library. That should make attendance skyrocket, right?

Sad... Tim Phillips -- head of the Koch PAC -- says we are not committed to the bill now, but we are working to change and improve it. Did you know, Trump-voter, that you elected AFP lobbyists to write your new healthcare bill? Why hold elections at all? Save the money, just let the lobbyists hash it out, they do anyway.

Trumped Up Oh that's it, we need more corporate control over our lives! Why didn't we think of it before? Let the really wealthy people take charge, instead of the losers. Because, y'know, rich people have never had any power or influence in government before. What a pile of Dippity Doo.

Come to Jesus the real insanity is that these extremists are elected again and again. Even when their true motives and beliefs are exposed -- they are returned to office because of their insane actions -- not in spite of them. So who is more mentally ill -- the candidates or the voters?

Apocalypse Now! Universal health care -- like they enjoy in virtually every free developed nation on earth -- would eliminate all these issues. No one would have to prove their financial worthiness before receiving top-notch medical care. Rich and poor alike would have equal access to medical treatments and preventive care. And it would be cheaper.

Making America Sick Again We had a chance with Bernie Sanders to elect an honest president. An actual fighter for the people. One who genuinely cared about the working class, not just pay lip service like this billionaire crooked Oompa Loopah. We could've had a shot at honest-to-God affordable health care, single payer like the rest of western civilization. There's no stopping the juggernaut now.

If It's Tuesday . . . If angry aliens did attack Earth, 21% would call the Hulk in to deal with it, 12% would call Batman, and 8% would call Spider-Man." There is some rational news in this sea of insanity, however, and it's refreshing to read that the religiously insane global-climate-change deniers lost a key battle in their war to rid the world of all non-Biblical scientific research.

War Without End, Amen. This week IS vowed to launch an assault on Italy, using its gains in Libya as a springboard to European attacks. Do they have the actual power to carry out these threats? IS certainly has mastered the art of propaganda via social media, and they have captured everyone's attention.

Trump's press conference was like watching a twitching paranoid schizophrenic on a couch talking to his shrink -- just an endless whine-fest about all the things he hates and are wrong and how upset he is about the "fake news" that caused his national security adviser to resign and the media hates him and they lie and why can't anybody ask him a nice question anyway?

Smoke, Smoke, Smoke that Cigarette ... Poor tobacco companies, these pesky governments are interfering with their legal right to kill their citizens. Perhaps some enterprising member of Congress could tie a bill to repeal Obamacare to a measure to regulate the ownership of assault rifles, or restrictions on the tobacco companies from these kinds of schemes. Maybe they could trick a Teabagger into supporting it that way?

Long Weekend It's going to be a very long weekend for the two least popular presidential candidates in history. The first BIG debate on Monday will likely be a make it or break it moment for both of them, their poll numbers still wavering in the mid-40s with little significant movement in months.

The Nixon Defense It's a shame. Sad, really. And truly baffling. Why would Flynn lie about a lawful action? There are only two possible options that make sense to me. One, he did have something to hide. Or two, he was taking a bullet for somebody else to protect them from what would be discovered if he told the FBI the truth. Gee, wonder who that could be?

The Right to Remain Silent It's been three days now since Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old black teenager, was shot multiple times by a police officer, and Ferguson Missouri officials have yet to name the officer in question. They cite fear for the officer's safety. This is rather ironic, as the officer certainly had no regard for the safety of this young man whose only crime was "walking while black."

Hot Hot Hot! Science-deniers soon may have no choice but to accept the phenomena of global climate change as a result of human action. Results from a scientific study conducted in 20 developing countries provide undeniable evidence that carbon dioxide emissions (greenhouse gasses) from the burning of fossil fuels could result in 100 million human deaths by the year 2030, and it may be too late to do anything about it.

Suffer the Little Children... The anti-science movement in this country is growing. Expect fresh headlines detailing needless deaths of children in future years. Couple this with the handful of faithful true believers who will let their children die -- often from something as treatable as the flu -- rather than seek medical attention because it is "God's will."

Couple this with the handful of faithful true believers who will let their children die -- often from something as treatable as the flu -- rather than seek medical attention because it is "God's will."

A Time To Kill There is no humane way to kill a person. Murder is by definition inhumane. Whether by guillotine, firing squad, hanging, gassing, electrocution, or poisonous drugs. The logic employed by Necons to justify executions escapes me, as does the hypocrisy of upholding the sanctity of the life of a blastula while simultaneously endorsing the state-sanctioned murder of fully formed adult human beings.

Onward, Christian Soldiers! The GQ article also stated that some "unnamed" Pentagon officials worried that if the evidence of these proselytizing report covers were discovered (they were marked "Top Secret") that "they could be interpreted as a suggestion that the war was religiously driven, a battle against Islam." No kidding . . . really? Y'think?

Radioactive Why isn't the mainstream media paying more attention to this story? Is it because there is no way to spin a happy ending because -- according to some experts -- a cloud of deadly radioactive particles is headed to the Western US and there's not a thing that can be done about it?

Bang Bang Bang Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are in a statistical dead heat in California for next Tuesday's primary, where a whopping 475 delegates are up for grabs, which is why the Hillary surrogates are beating the bushes arguing that Bernie is "hurting the party" with his continued campaign.

MadMen Silly season is upon us. It's almost time for the midterm elections, and at least one result is already in -- the political ads are crazier than ever. Let's begin with a truly nauseating ad for Rick Scott, which parodies the nauseating TLC reality TV show "Say Yes to the Dress."

Debbie Does Dereliction The DNC convention kicked off without Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was booed by her own Florida constituents this morning in the wake of the latest Clinton email debacle and evidence of a rigged campaign, and now the Sanders delegates are protesting in the streets of Philadelphia and on the floor of the convention hall, booing loudly whenever Hillary's name is mentioned, often outshouting the Hillary supporters.

Sign of the Beast? It seems Ken Cuccinelli was a bit too kooky even for the Teabaggers to fully embrace. His buddy, Texas Rep. Matt Kraus is one of those crazy Christians that gives otherwise normal Christians the willies. To suggest that your political opposition is made up of evil, devil-worshippers kind of goes against the nature of pluralism and a democratic society.

Dr. T and the Women Come January there will be almost 100 women in the House of Representatives. That is more than at any point in history. If that doesn't scare The Donald, it should. It's certainly good news for America and brings the larger representative body closer to the complexion of the country. Smart women have no use for Trump and no patience for his condescension or corruption.

If The President Does It, It Isn't Illegal? The Republicans, however, will grasp at anything -- birthers, deathers, Acorners ... they will throw everything at him, no matter how ridiculous, until something sticks. Now things are legitimately sticky. Many of us would feel better about this mess if he were to be impeached over drone strikes, but from day one it did seem inevitable that the Neocons would get him somehow.

Nobel Prize, gimme a f'n break. If the summit happens it won't be because these two freakish haircuts decided to further the cause of denuclearization and world peace.

And that's just for starters. SPN has an $83 million budget drawn largely from individual and corporate donors and foundations.

According to Inhofe, Obama's speech in Cairo was "un-American" because he referred to the war in Iraq as "a war of choice."

Flesh-eating white phosphorous, napalm, depleted uranium and drone strikes have replaced the A-bomb, but nothing has quelled the Western lust for conquest, carnage, and capital.

The Heat is On The upcoming United Nations forum on climate change in New York on the 23rd promises some headliner attendees, but how much of the event is just for show? A pretense to demonstrate to their countrymen that they, too, care about the environment.

Eat Mor Bigots Bigotry is good for Big Business, it appears. The Rapture Right donned their stretch pants and flooded their favorite flying-monkey fried fast fooderies to loft their nuggets heaven'ward in solidarity with homophobes and haters across the fruited plane and gobbled greasy globs of processed factory farmed psuedo-poultry in pious protest of civil rights. Greg Palast was right, we're living in an armed madhouse.

Y'Know Its Hard Out Here For a Pimp How threatening does an email have to be for a State Department employee to seek FBI protection from the email attacker, Petreaus' lover-cum-biographer? Who needs daytime soap operas when you have MSNBC and sexy tidbits like these? The real winners in this scenario, as always, are the media who were at a loss as to how to maintain viewer interest now that the elections were over.

One Burrito, Extra Cheese -- Hold the Bullets As "open carry" gun laws are implemented across the nation, some establishments are asking customers to leave their heat at home. Today the chain of Chipotle restaurants has requested that its customers refrain from brandishing firearms in their restaurants. The popular Mexican eatery is a favorite among families, with kid-friendly menus, toys, coloring pages, and reasonable prices.

Blind Man's Bluff Of course we support the Americans With Disabilities Act. It's pitiful that it took an act of Congress to mandate that differently-abled Americans should have equal access to public facilities and equal opportunities for employment and other rights, but that's just another comment on our long history of discrimination. But is it a good idea for blind persons to carry loaded weapons?

Strange Bedfellows There are plenty of male candidates who are deserving of special observation, like Florida's Jake Rush. He is a devoted father, conservative christian, former police officer, capable lawyer, and possible vampire. Yes, he might just be one of the undead, which would get him Dick Cheney's endorsement, if nothing else. Mitch McConnell has proved than an unblinking zombie can successfully rise to the upper echelon of the GOP.

The Supremes refused to even hear the complaints of non-GMO farmers about the bad practices of Monsanto, which include bullying tactics that would make Chris Christie jealous.

There have been some recent gun tragedies that have been under-reported or eclipsed by other news stories, perhaps because we have come to accept such violence as part of everyday American life. It doesn't have to be this way.

Wasn't that always the ultimate objective? Each time Israel begins an air-strike campaign, it is immediately followed by a new "settlement" incursion. Israel will not stop until all Palestinians are forced off the remains of their lands.

A Day That Will Live in Infamy No wonder mindless television shows are so popular today, they provide at least a momentary distraction from the ongoing tedium of news stories that reinforce the growing reality we all dread -- that there will be no meaningful change to any toxic government policy, no true reform, no miraculous recovery or restoration of our Republic, at least not in the foreseeable future.

Dweetering on the Edge I love Twitter. Tweets are fun, especially when NeoCon politicans who are still trying to grasp "The Google on the Internets" try their hand at social networking. The results are hilarious and revealing. And -- best of all -- hard to retract.

Another Nail in the Coffin The NRA Neocons continue to make the GOP look like the party of fear-mongering wannabe militia vigilantes who care more about their long, shiny weapons than they do about human lives. Now they are assaulting the families of the little children who were murdered by a fellow gun-nut in Newtown, CT last month.

Onward Christian Boulders Remember the Heaven's Gate cult? The folks who donned new sneakers, then committed mass suicide so they could ride comet Hale-Bopp to follow the aliens to the Great Hereafter? Somehow, they accidentally left Pat Robertson behind. Robertson, no stranger to oddball predictions, has now declared that the End of Times might come as early as next week, when a giant asteroid -- presumably guided by Jesus -- slams into earth.

Slip-Sliding Away 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.

Never on a Sunday Hobby Lobby is a BIG employer, with over 560 nationwide stores. If it is allowed to ignore the ACA, and its employees are denied health coverage, then look for every other business, large and small, from Chick-Fil-A and Papa John's Pizza to your locally owned-and-operated Uncle Bob's Hardware Store to follow suit. Exceptions then become the rule and the idea of employer-mandated health care disappears.

The Wrath of (the) Conned The May 16 D.C. event was "Operation American Spring," and if you didn't hear about it or attend, don't fret. Very few did. The website boasted a rally of millions, and in reality, only about 100 or so actually bothered to show. And therein lies the problem -- BlazeBeck attacked and mocked the rally for it's ultra-low attendance, then Frankenbeck's monster turned against its maker.

In Peace and Insecurity The events of the last several decades should be a clear demonstration that while we had a hand in creating the issue that divides the region, we have no power to affect a solution. And the events of the last 24 hours should be a clear indication that the divide between Palestine and Israel has never been greater.

Governor Matt Mead had no problem approving legislation that effectively bans the common core science standards currently accepted in 26 states because they teach that global climate change caused by burning fossil fuels is settled science.

Fear and Loathing on May Day How much longer will the middle class continue to be ignored and marginalized by NeoCon politicians who are concerned only with the care and feeding of their corporate masters? How many Koch brothers' policies and Scott Walker-style labor abuses will we be forced to endure before there is the kind of mass protest that cannot be ignored? The occupy movement is a good start, but more needs to be done.

For a party that claims to be about less government interference, they sure spend a lot of time peeking through keyholes, through bathroom doors and under our skirts.

Today the House voted to repeal many of the provisions of Obama's immigration reform plan, sucking away legal protections from millions of immigrant families.

The Cleaners Let's hope the Democrats can out-drone the Teabaggers and point out that it takes a village, or an army, to undo all the economic, foreign policy, environmental, security, social services, deregulation, war-making, constitution-destroying policies the Bush Crime Family, under Cheney's masterful direction, hammered into place during its eight-year reign of terror.

Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace All we're missing is a reference to "known knowns" and a laser pointer and we could be back at any DoD briefing, circa 2003. Who can forget all the bat squeeze uttered by Rumsfeld and his minions about the "limited, focused, brief" strike on Iraq? Remember his prediction that the military involvement would last days, perhaps weeks, but not months?

Ten Cents a Dance It was like American Idol, but all the talented young singers had been replaced by pasty white men. But oh, how the contestants pranced and danced their carefully choreographed routines, dressed in their finest conservative costumes to see who could best amuse the king, er, Adelson, and get the very special privilege of being purchased by the casino magnate.

Spies Like Us? The fact that President Obama has failed to make good on his promises to roll back the Bush Crime Family's domestic surveillance programs demonstrates that he is in favor of monitoring US citizens, particularly those who express displeasure with the status quo. That reality is underscored by recent disclosures by whistle-blowers about the massive extent of domestic spying approved by the current administration.

Not Ready to Make Nice From Dixie Chicks to pedophile priests, it's been one heck of a decade. On the eve of the new Pope's election, it has been revealed that the Holy See in Rome recently purchased a $23 million share in a Rome apartment block that houses Europe's biggest gay sauna. What is this -- alter boy soup for the pedophile priest's soul?

Ohio's sneaky passage of radical anti-abortion legislation today (buried in a budget bill) is the latest attempt at the age-old tradition of chest-thumping, rattle-shaking, knuckle-dragging male dominance over the mysterious, frightening magic of female fertility. Once again, a group of white men are deciding what they will allow women to do with their bodies. Isn't this getting a bit old?

Breaking Bad If the wealthy continue to refuse to pay their fair share, there is no hope that this country will continue as a Republic. An aristocracy, or corporatocracy, sure. But not a democratic republic. Without a return to the Clinton-era tax plan, which realized one of the greatest eras of American prosperity, there is no hope for the future, unless you're among the 1%.

Gunslingers Dozens of dead school children in Newtown last December. Dozens more shootings of children every month since. When does it stop? Will our society ever value children more than bullets? Must we wait until their tiny bodies pile all the way up to heaven before we have any sensible regulation of these death machines?

This Is What Democracy Looks Like Thousands of protestors braved the frigid temperatures and took to the streets today in Michigan over the Republican plan to -- yet again -- weaken unions, trample workers rights and further subjugate the middle class. Despite this significant public opposition, Michigan lawmakers passed the "right to work" law that will make their corporate masters happy.

Empty Desks -- Empty Lives Palestinian children finally returned to their schools in Gaza. Or what's left of their schools, anyway. With what's left of their schoolmates. Twenty-six schools were destroyed and 250 were damaged in the latest bombing by Israel. At least 20 schools still serve as temporary housing for up to 64,000 families left homeless when the bombs turned their houses to rubble.

Flanders Field We cringe at the sight of young men and women who've come home with missing limbs, permanent scars, feelings of guilt, and psychological trauma that may never be resolved. They limp home to a broken Veterans Administration and the empty promises of an indifferent administration. To confused relatives and poor job prospects.

Long Tall Texan Speaking at the Heritage Foundation today, Perry declared that there was a very real possibility that the Islamist terror organization ISIS had infiltrated the US by illegally crossing our southern border. If this is supposed to bolster his long-standing position on immigration and border security, it comes across as proof that the governor could use a geography refresher course.

If the President Does it, It Isn't Illegal Not a single terrorist plot or act has been uncovered as a result of this invasive tracking of every phone call placed in America. And how much does a massive operation like this cost? Is this a way to justify the existence of the Department of Homeland Security? Perhaps now, as this was an NSA operation.

Letting them die in the womb is the ultimate sin against God, right? Once they're born, it's every infant for himself, right? What did Jesus say about suffer the little children? Doubt this is what He had in mind.

Especially since he once embraced -- and implemented -- so many of the very provisions of The Affordable Care Act he now so vehemently despises.

Patriotism and trump-up terror threats to justify illegal actions done in our name. We execute Japanese soldiers for tortures we now freely use against others.

It's American hegemony disguised as exceptionalism. Patriotism and trump-up terror threats to justify illegal actions done in our name. We execute Japanese soldiers for tortures we now freely use against others.

Fiscal Blackmail Americans deserve politicians who can't be bought, bribed, and blackmailed by special interest groups run by the likes of Grover and Brent. They should all be ashamed of themselves for taking an oath to serve the people, when in reality the only serve their corporate masters. We can hope the voters remember this in the midterms.

Quagmires Once our (corrupt) puppet leader Hamid Karzai was safely in power, the Bushies turned their sites to their real target -- Iraq. Trillions of US taxpayer dollars and thousands of dead/wounded/traumatized US soldiers later and neither nation is free or secure. Progress. Really?

Vote For Me Most pollsters agree that the GOP will pick up seats in Congress and likely take over the senate. What will this mean for policy or legislation? Maybe nothing, given the current gridlock and lack of definition between the two parties. One big change would be the realization of Mitch McConnell's lifetime dream of becoming the majority leader in the senate.

If You Can't Solve It, Throw Money At It President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry have both issued stern -- if impotent -- threats to Russia should it decide to continue this invasion. Threats of serious economic sanctions. And the US is also offering financial assistance to Ukraine, to the tune of $1 billion. Yes, that's billion -- with a "b."

Deck the Halls With Rounds of Ammo A "bad guy" can commit a crime anywhere, the only solution is to arm the entire national citizenry to stop this crazed criminal! Why, we wouldn't even need the police anymore as every private citizen could just shoot at will! Think how much simpler life would be. How much safer! To stop gun violence, all we need is ... more guns! Duh ...! We've been "morans" all this time! What a simple solution.

No Justice, No Peace Seems like everything is slow in Ferguson, except the trigger fingers. It took the chief a month to apologize for taking so long to remove their dead son's body in the street, where the shooter -- Darren Wilson -- paraded around the corpse for hours (as documented on multiple mobile videos). Sickening.

Union Solidarity Forever? Chicago may be one of the last places in America where unions still retain the ability to fight for worker's rights, much to the dismay of Republican politicians who would like to see worker's rights returned to the rubbish bin. Sadly, it seems they are winning. The failed recall election of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker earlier this year is clear evidence that organized labor in America is on life-support.

It is intended to showcase the hypocrisy of the state's Christian right. After a religious group succeeded in erecting a monument of the Ten Commandments on the lawn, a secular organization petitioned the government for equal time, resulting in the current battle of the monuments.

Question -- WWJD? What kind of "problems" could "we" have that comes even close to the mass death and suffering going on in the Middle East? US foreign policy can create the refugee crisis, but won't solve it. Kind of like the plan to invade Iraq without a clear exit strategy. We just don't think these things through very clearly, do we?

Awesome! Is it odd that none of the Bushies have been invited to the RNC in Tampa? Seems Raisin Brain is in hiding these days. Given Mitten's recent verbal gaffes, you would think he'd LOVE to have Dubya stammer around, just to make him look better, if nothing else.

Cocktails Cruel and Unusual Why are prisoners used as guinea pigs to measure the efficacy of lethal drugs? That practice certainly seems as if it has the possibility of being cruel and unusual, especially if the person strapped to the table has been chemically paralyzed and rendered incapable of expressing pain levels. The reason there is so much uncertainty of late in the chemical cocktails is because there is a serious shortage of these deadly drugs.

Grounded Evil Empire Czar Rupert Murdoch has apologized for the illegal phone tapping perpetrated by his News of the World employees over the last few years. The apologies came as part of a judicial inquiry into the NewsCorp scandal. But he also clamied that he was kept in the dark by certain employees and suggested that he had no knowledge of the illegal activities.

Just a Fluke But the real issue, of course, is not Rushie's lack of research or comprehension, but his insidious, disgusting attack of this particular young lady whose only "crime" was to testify in favor of coverage for these hormone supplements. That's enough for El Rushbo to label her a whore. For three days in a row.

That's an ideal we can all embrace. Tell me -- which "Christian" do you think Jesus would embrace? The lover, or the hater?

First Monday in October The Supreme Court is back in session, and has announced that they will not be hearing any marriage equality cases. The bad news here is that Justice Ginsberg hinted that the court might take up the issue at a later date if, for example, one of the appeals courts in the Midwest or South upheld state bans on marriage equality.

Rain Rain Go Away A Philadelphia father has been charged with 3rd degree murder for "accidentally" shooting his four-year-old daughter in the head while waiving his loaded gun around. Nice. Also accidentally, a Houston man takes a real gun to a water-gun fight at a backyard BBQ and shot a 15-year-old in the shoulder. An 8-year-old was accidentally shot by a man cleaning a gun in a neighboring apartment in Lodi, CA.

In the eyes of CPAC, the bridgegate scandal has failed to knock the shine off Christie's Kripsy Kreme. You have to wonder if he'll still be their golden boy if the circle of scandal continues to tighten around his cold, snowy office.

The GOP debate last night was a jaw-dropping freak show -- more like a pro-wrestling free-for-all than a presidential candidate debate. Penis references, insults, personal attacks -- and that was just the audience. What was up with that crowd? Did they think they were at a hockey game?

Regardless of your personal opinion about gay marriage and whether or not a person is "born this way," it is impossible to maintain that this group is less deserving of equal treatment under the law than their heterosexual counterparts. Yet, the vocal minority in the Rapture Right will argue just that, and will add that the Bible supports their bigotry. God loves everybody ... except homosexuals.

Throwbacks Words fail. It's as if Trump just makes this stuff up as he rolls along. Well actually, that is what he's doing, isn't he? Until now the explosions have been relatively contained, but the idea of the US dropping nuclear bombs on, say, Paris coupled with the thought of "punishing" women for aborting their pregnancies ... guess that was just a bridge too far.

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.

Must-Seethe TV Imagine if things were different. Imagine that, in exchange for this massive influx of political cash, broadcasters did a better job of exposing the groups and individuals funding political ads in their markets, and addressing the falsehoods presented in many of these spots. Democracy requires an informed public. But Americans aren't getting the news they need from local TV.

Leaving So Soon...? The Tea Party is over for two-term Senator Jim DeMint who is retiring right now, and will depart the Senate in January to spend some quality time as President of a conservative think tank, which will undoubtedly fatten his wallet to a greater degree than his taxpayer-funded salary.

Victory! Realizing they could not defeat him in court (or the court of public opinion), the Army allowed him to leave. Hopefully, this signals a change in attitude in the military now that the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld cabal has slithered out of Washington; a change that means we do not punish those soldiers who refuse to engage in illegal wars or wars entered into under wholly false pretenses.

What is that -- Tobasco Sauce? Pointy-headed Liberal . . . . Supreme Court Justice nominee Sonia Sotomayor's food preferences have prompted some Republicans to muse privately about whether Sotomayor is suggesting that distinctive Puerto Rican cuisine such as patitas de cerdo con garbanzo -- pigs' tongue and beans -- would somehow, in some small way influence her verdicts from the bench. No, it's not a joke.

None of the debris has been retrieved, but Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak announced today that the plane "ended" its journey.

Memorial Speech But the speech may well mark a pivot point. Not shockingly, Obama is attempting to find middle ground, where there is more oversight and more restraint regarding activities that pose serious civil liberties and policy challenges. The McCainiacs of the world are likely to howl about any effort to place the effort to counter terrorism into a more balanced perspective.

Some see Snowden as a traitor who betrayed his country, but doesn't that beg the question -- what, exactly, do our privacy rights protect?

Of Mice and Mittens Is America ready for Romney, unzipped? Sounds kinda creepy. But if Steve Martin would return to reprise his "Wild and Crazy Guy" with Romney in the Aykroyd role, then that might be something to see.

Who, Me? After all, if Obama would just stop objecting to the previous administration's torture and stuff, Cheney would never have to crack the creaky lock on his crypt and could hibernate for the next millenia.

Descent of the Low Country Maybe Sanford's constituents should send their prodigal son a trail map he can tuck into his Holy Bible. Or a compass. Or at least a handful of breadcrumbs. Washington DC is quite a hike from the hills of Appalachia. Sure would be sad if the little lamb found himself lost -- again.

Hard Work It's easy to forget that first foray in the never ending terror wars, given the horror, torture, trauma, and carnage the giggling killer brought to Iraq, but US forces have been in Afghanistan now for nearly eight years. Almost twice as long as our involvement in World War Two. And what has been accomplished?

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.

Big Guns, Bigger Guns, BIGGEST Guns 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.

Terror of the Diseased Ferrets 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.

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.

Chimpy -- Go Home! It looks like they hope the next American President will stand for something other than global death and destruction and economic wreckage. Given the hostile reception he'll receive and room-temperature agenda, what, exactly, is the purpose of this trip? Condi's tagging along, is this a shoe-shopping junket?
