Lazy-Americans: The Last Despised Minority Laziness is the ultimate sin. And I'm the ultimate sinner. But I'm not alone, not by a long shot. When we wish one another a good day, we say "take it easy." If you want to wish someone a bad day, say the opposite. You'll lose a friend, but how virtuous of you!

A reluctant defense of Political Correctness A little love for political correctness, the ugly stepchild of cultural discourse. Political correctness,properly understood, is merely the code of honor, doing its essential work: holding society together in the absence of any other agreed moral/religious standards of behavior.

The Debt Strike Pledge Default was a bluff and our so-called leaders folded. The enemies of the people won. Next time we should call that bluff and make them feel the pain. A call for a general strike on debt.

The Crash, the Panic, the Depression. The panic of 2008, the depression of 2009-? An historical, not to say hysterical, analysis of previous economic catastrophes going back to 1819. And why Obama needs to keep his powder dry and coffers full if we are going to survive this one.

Obama wins? So what? Obama needs to make this election about the will of the people. As in, will the will of the people be thwarted, yet again?

Failing the Edward Snowden Litmus Test. The job of our elected representatives isn't to persecute the whistle-blowers. It is to BE the whistle-blowers.

Supreme Court Schizophrenia When we say the Supreme Court has been politicized we besmirch the meaning of politics. They're fan boys for the GOP.

Dear Hillary, Announce Now Hillary Clinton needs to announce now and remove any uncertainty about her candidacy. As long as she’s in the race, announced or otherwise, she’ll get all the attention on the Democratic side. If she’s not going to run, she needs to step aside immediately.
