Why the U.S. Postal Service will Fall USPS blindly and suicidally flies in the face of the real American Way, and -- as is the case with a decent single-payer medical program vs the combined forces of the AMA and the Insurance cartel -- is bound for public execution.

Enough Feckless Nattering -- Obama IS Our Next President What with the chronic partisan Democrats, both obtuse and aware, and the "lesser-evil" masochistically persuaded, along with voters seeking some degree of sanity fleeing from the Republican nominative buffoonery, Obama is in.

Pathetic Partisan Persuasion and Other Stupid Stuff American voters in the main cast for more-or-less their partisan persuasion, that is Democrat or Republican. But still quite a few offended by both will insist to vote for their choice of the "lesser-evil" major candidate. We must do better than this.

America's Bipartisan Disaster and the Opportunity for Correction The Republican presidential candidates are doing well at trashing each others candidacy, which would be a good thing for America if it did not favor the same ilk in Democrat-sheep's clothing.

Military to Police American Civilians!? The ACLU has advised that this week: "The Senate will be voting on a bill that will direct American military resources not at an enemy shooting at our military in a war zone, but at American citizens and other civilians far from any battlefield -- even people in the United States itself."

Obama's Iraq Duplicity Obama said of Iraq, that it's over. Yogi Berra said of everything, that "It ain't over till it's over." Which do you believe?

An Alternative To The One-Puppeteer System America has been going down the track of indecent governance and treacherous war for too many years, under either or both of the two major partisan persuasions. It's high time for us good people to change the engineers.

Facts or Fiction on the Wall Street Occupation With all my respect and profound appreciation for the authentic Occupy Wall Street people, there is evidence that some others would exploit this initiative for perverted interests of their own. It is important that the authentic allies of this movement share the truth with each other that is not available in the captive media.

At Least PRIMARY the Imposter of Hope, Change and Integrity We were promised HOPE and CHANGE. Well we're still hoping, but that's not going to turn the ongoing tide that's drowning "the 99 percent." It's high time for Democrats to step up to their ideals, and at the very least to PRIMARY the imposter of those ideals.

Not a Two-Party System, but One Two-Headed Monster Over the last 31 years, the differences between Democrats and Republicans -- not so much in their words but certainly in their actions -- have just about disappeared, leaving us with an administration, under either party label, indentured to greed interests at the expense of the vast majority of the citizens.

Desperation for Decent Leadership Honest folks know things have not gone well for working or would-be working people for too long. It's high time we looked into America's mirror of truth, appraised our sad leadership for what it is, and rejected the temptation to once again be persuaded by the "lesser-evil" choice.

Republican-Democrat Inc. vs the People Obama promised "Change!" We got it, the change that is, while Greed Inc. got the bailout dollars, Weapons Inc. got the profits, and the Republicans neutered the Democrats. In fourteen months we'll get another chance. We "ordinary" people need to see where we've gone wrong, then make a better choice for our own best interests, a choice other than the false promises of Mr. Hope and Change.

Going to the October Event in the District of Corruption? The word is out on the big protest against everlasting war and indecent governance in D.C. in October. An impressive number of activist luminaries are committed. But he nagging question remains: Will this make any substantial difference in the treacherous course our government is set upon, or will this be -- however noble and moral -- just another message to find its way into the Capitol's refuse bin?

US vs S&P: It's About Time, But... The Justice Department is investigating whether the nation's largest credit ratings agency, Standard & Poor's, improperly rated dozens of mortgage securities in the years leading up to the financial crisis. Why has this taken so long? What happens next?

Republican Cover Girl Newsweek magazine caught a lot of flak from Republicans who claimed that its recent cover featuring Michelle Bachmann's face "made her look crazy." Are they saying the camera lies?

Pathetic Presidential Platitudes Prompt Primary In such times as these, the call for a president's compelling example of courage, integrity and leadership is essential. We aren't getting it.
