Mike Malloy is a former writer and producer for CNN (1984-87) and CNN-International (2000). His professional experience includes newspaper columnist and editor, writer, rock concert producer and actor. He is the only radio talk show host in America to have received the A.I.R (Achievement in Radio) Award in both Chicago and New York City, the number three and number one radio markets in the country. His radio experience includes the 50,000 watt blow-torches in both the South and the Midwest, respectively WSB-AM in Atlanta and WLS-AM in Chicago, and as one of the original hosts on Air America - a two-year-long association that ended in a massive train wreck. Mike's nationally-syndicated program can now be heard weeknights on affiliates of the Nova M Network and on XM Satellite and Sirius Satellite Radio as well as on live Internet streaming.
It is not difficult to pigeon-hole Malloy politically. Generally speaking, he is a traditional Liberal Democrat doing his part to return the Democratic Party to its Liberal roots.

Ted Kennedy's life was extraordinary -- filled with both flaws and strengths. His death closes yet another door that might have led to what the Framers saw as a possibility and what the newly emerging Fascists see as an obstacle: the hope of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The AP reports Rod was intercepted on court-authorized wiretaps over the last month conspiring to sell or trade the vacant Senate seat for personal benefits for himself and his wife, Patti. If there were no bidders or the jack offered was not high enough ol' Rod considered appointing himself. "If they're not going to offer me anything of value I might as well take it."

We want more tax breaks for the super-wealthy! We want less income for us! We want more home foreclosures! More bankruptcies! More cars repossessed! We don't want Obama interfering with the glories of Free Market Capitalism -- the pro-God, anti-gay, anti-abortion economic system that was given to us by the Almighty himself!

So are we to be left no accountability for the crimes committed repeatedly, relentlessly, arrogantly over an eight-year period? Will there not even be a "truth commission" of some sort modeled perhaps on that used by South Africa following the end of apartheid? Is the fear that such a commission might be forced, after taking testimony and hearing witnesses, to recommend legal action by the Obama Justice Department?

The missing question in the Pew study was this one: "In addition to being a church-goer who believes in torture, what is your favorite 24-hour news channel?" If you just answered Fox, you win a front-row pew at the next Communion Service at the nearest 20-thousand member evangelical mega-church.

The Senate Democrats find themselves yet again cowering in the corner, whimpering, sucking their thumbs, acting like abused children or battered spouses because Democratic challenger Jim Martin was defeated by the incumbent Republican Saxby Chambliss. (Oh, help us, someone! Please! The Republicans are going to HURT us. Again.)

When Palin's asked to consider a nuclear attack on Russia after having risen to the presidency because face cancer ate McCrazy's head -- is that when Palin screeches out the names of demons? Babbles for Jesus' protection? Spins in circles while thunder and vile odors and otherworldly screams roll and reverberate through the White House?

the Office of Intelligence and Analysis at the Department of Homeland Security released a report--coordinated with the FBI--that examined the potential threats from right-wing extremist groups where it concerns domestic, homegrown terrorism. At some point normal Americans, regardless of their political alignment, must realize and end the madness and poison right-wing radio and television injects daily into this tired society.

So, the lost souls call themselves "PUMAs" which, I've learned, means "Party Unity My Ass." Wow. That's really cool. Has such a Middle School, pre-teen flavor to it. "Two bits, Four bits, Six bits, a Dollar! All for Hillary, Stand up and Holler!" Ya-aaaaaay! (Shriek! Shriek! Scream! Scream! Jump up and down! Sob! Pull your hair!)

The tragedy spread like a dark bloodstain from the first-grade classroom of dead children to families to the keepers of law and order to the state authorities to the politicians to the president. Shock. Horror. Words. Endless words. Endless. This was not the first, nor the last slaughter of innocents. It was only the next.

After six years in prison (for what? convicted by whom? defended by whom? guaranteed what rights?)American officials concluded that the men should not be considered enemy combatants and an American court ordered their release. But, Cheney insisted! Cheney warned! Cheney demanded they be kept locked up! Forever!

Those two decisions today seemed to restore just a bit of sanity to a Court that is owned and operated by the same insanity that determined corporations are "people" with the same rights (and none of the obligations) enjoyed by real people -- citizens; people; warm-blooded mammals who walk upright.

Cheney's staff insisted sick vets be locked down(!)for two hours before Cheney's arrival and not be allowed to leave until he'd finished talking. No exceptions. Not even a bathroom break. According to the Daily News, "Many of the vets are elderly and left pieces of themselves on foreign battlefields, and others were crippled by recent service. For health reasons, many can't be stuck in a room for hours."

Congress is considering a bail-out? $25 billion? Where were these "lawmakers" when the auto executives were intimidating them into believing simple mileage increases or catalytic converters or safety modifications or anything reasonable or sensible added to the design of Detroit's gas-eating behemoths would somehow sink the entire industry. What sort of hearings were held then?

Today is the birth anniversary of Malcolm X. He was born Malcolm Little in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1925. Were he alive today he would be 84 years old. Among many items of truth, he said...If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything... and...I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against.

It's not difficult for me to imagine another early August morning 63 years ago; to invent another cute little four-year-old girl working in the garden with her mother or grandmother. Instead of north Georgia, however, this imaginary little girl is digging holes in the ground and spreading mulch around azalea bushes in the Chugoku region of western Honshu, the largest island in the archipelago that is the nation of Japan.

It's not that I leave the planet when I take a week off; it just seems that way. No newspapers or TV, unless, of course, we hear through the beach grapevine that, once again, a Republican "family values" freak has got caught with his wee-wee pinched in the zipper of a dress not belonging to his wife. Metaphorically speaking, of course.
